One-page Summary All Research How Coaching Works video The Science of Coaching Testimonials After careful research, I learned about Wellcoaches, and it was love at first sight. At first, I felt anxious about committing to such a big thing whilst studying, but somehow I felt that it was the right thing to do. To be precise, I asked a ton of silly questions in the emails, and all the answers were really clear, well-structured, and empathetic. I was shocked by the way Wellcoaches communicated with me via email, as I never felt more heard and understood from just an email. Those answers alleviated my confusion and worry and assured me that I am on the right path. And yes, I guessed right - it was amazing. It was quite challenging and tough, but I enjoyed every bit of it, and I truly mean it. I learned many new things and skills that aren't just related to coaching. Those skills are immensely helpful in my day-to-day life as well. I learned to connect, understand, and appreciate people in a way I didn't before. It's worth mentioning that all the people at or around Wellcoaches that I've talked to during my journey were nothing but positive, kind, and compassionate. I think Wellcoaches just radiates positive energy, and like a magnet, attracts positive and kind people to it. I am truly grateful for this journey! And looking forward to the upcoming challenges!

Biology, Western University, 1978 M.B.A., Ivey School of Business, Western University, 1983; last term at London Business School under an international scholarship Testimonial I met Margaret during the pandemic when all we could do was be on zoom calls. I was on so many that we formed a connection. Margaret inspired me when she told me that coaching needed more men as well as more minority coaches. This launched me on a trajectory of study leading to my participation in the Wellcoaches Professional Coaching Program . She also made me feel comfortable with the fact I failed the Board exam the first time. With her encouragement I have since passed both the ICF and Board exam. What I appreciate the most about her is her accessibility. Usually individuals with her schedule and stature are unapproachable. She is just the opposite. I consider Margaret a mentor and most importantly, a friend. Greg Peck
