While everyone is welcome to download the recording the Free Sample teleclass on December 8, the new training class beginning in early 2010 will be limited in size, so there will be an application process following the free sample teleclass on December 8. I believe two things will be more important than anything else in order to be a very successful ARTbundance coach. The first is the ability to sincerely listen and identify the deep needs and desires of the person you are working with, and the second is the ability to tap into the universal wellspring of creative wisdom and energy that actually can inspire people to make positive changes in their lives. Previous coaching experience, or art/craft experience are not necessary to make the chosen class of trainees, nor are they going to be the primary considerations in selection. Those will be helpful skills if you have them but the applicants will be chosen based on a wide range of qualities to ensure that the program is a great match for everyone , and will involve first filling out a written application.
