Samantha Black, along with the Certified Coaches Federation, will host a two-day training class for those wishing to become a certified life or executive coach on October 24 and 25, at the Four Points by Sheraton Wakefield Boston Hotel and Conference Center, in Wakefield. A second training will take place December 5 and 6 at the American Resort, in Niagara Falls, Ontario.

“Attendees will learn the language of coaching and how to empower and motivate others to make lasting and positive changes, and they’ll leave with the foundation required to begin their coaching career,” says Black. “Coaching is all about using previous life experiences, imagining what is possible and mastering the language of coaching to help clients get to where they want to go and beyond.”

The Certified Coaches Federation has certified more than 10,000 graduates worldwide and is committed to offering a lifetime of resources to help graduates succeed. Readers that mention Natural Awakenings when registering will receive an additional 30-minute coaching session following the core course.

Cost: $879 by Sept. 24; $979 afterwards. Location: Four Points by Sheraton Boston Wakefield, 1 Audubon Rd., Wakefield. For more information, call 905- 358-3048, email [email protected] or visit CertifiedCoachesFederation.com.
