How My Passion Became My Profession

“She presented with clarity, shared her expertise as well as her own relevant personal experience in coaching as well as her own experiences in life. She has a great balance of gravity and buoyancy. She was very affirming, offered clear critic and suggestions. She made the class interesting, compelling. She engaged us in the material. The review of coaching sessions while terrifying to me (Just kidding :<) were excellent, constructive deep dives into our specific approaches. She did an excellent job reviewing and explaining the concepts and applicable tools to be used when coaching pre-committed and pre-marital couples. It really came through that she is a master couples coach. She was an excellent coach to us as well: encouraging us in our learning, valuing our differences, noticing our successes. This was a fun and very clarifying, equipping class for me.

I have worked with couples as couples therapist for 18 years and I learned things in this class, was given tools that I wish I had much earlier than now. I also am fully “In” on coaching and so glad to be able to leave the therapy world behind, while I am grateful for it, this has been so renewing, revitalizing and further equipping me for working with couples. I am excited again!!

Just want to say that I believe that David’s work, model, paradigm for pre-committed and pre-marital couples is a real breakthrough. I have worked for years with couples, have completed the three levels of Gottman training. I have also used Prep, Prepare and Imago resources. I also did premarital couples counseling for years as a Presbyterian minister. I have seen in vivo, couples locked in the pinnings of commitment and yet not right for each other.

Ok, a long statement (smile) to say, the Pre-committed and Pre-marital coaching concepts and tools are a huge breakthrough. I have not seen anything like this anywhere else. I now have the tools, strategies, paradigms and concepts to help couples find partners for life and avoid relationships that are broken and don’t work. Tremendous!!”

“First, I have found everything David Steele writes to be clear, insightful and applicable. He has an amazing talent for distilling complex material into simple, accessible truths with concrete suggestions for implementation. He is a genius in the relationship field!! The instructor, Annette Carpien, was always so warm, approachable and positive. She did such a wonderful job of presenting the material, answering any question that was thrown at her and encouraging class discussion. My work as a therapist has been positively impacted by many things I have learned in this course, and my work as a Relationship Coach now has a solid foundation to build on. On a personal level, I have learned what is possible and how to reverse-engineer the relationship of my dreams! Many, many thanks to RCI for all of the invaluable information and support. I am so grateful I made the decision to join!”

“Annette’s coaching, explanation of the material and sample questions to use for labs made the principles of Committed Couples easy to understand and use.”

“Annette was a good instructor she had a very warm voice and attitude and was very encouraging as an instructor.”

“Thanks Annette, you make coaching very relaxed and easy to do. I know with time I will be able to be confident with my coaching practice. The questions and insights that was brought up in class made me take a much broader view about relationships rather they are pre-committed, committed or blissful marriage. Besides the plethora of tools to our disposal Annette equipped our class to be excited about the coaching field. Thank You!!!!!!”

“I recently completed the couples coaching training, and the work David and Linda have done is excellent! What I gained is equal in value to the benefit I received from RESTS. Now I can be immediately available to every potential client, whatever their current relationship status.”

“I just finished Couples Coaching Training Level III. I have been so pleased with my journey with RCI. The level of support, information, guidance, enthusiasm, professionalism and competence is remarkable. We all wanted the class to continue. How fortunate we are to have teachers, mentors of that caliber. What an opportunity to be with one that is so competent, knowledgeable  and a mentor that was willing to go beyond. Thank you for providing me the opportunity to learn from a mentor such as Linda.”

“Your ‘pulling it all together’ during the last class of the Couples Coaching Training helped me realize how much we covered and how much I learned in this teleclass. I now have a much better understanding of the skills we have as coaches to use with our couples clients and I’m excited about using them with my future clients. Your depth of experience working with couples was very evident in this class, and you presented the material in a way that will enable us to effectively use the tools we learned with our clients. Thanks for your energy and dedication.”

“Annette Carpien is a seasoned professional coach and instructor who models the skills being taught. She is respectful of her students from diverse backgrounds/professions. I have grasped the foundational piece to couples coaching, and I highly recommend her for relationship coach training.”

“I used the Singles 3: Conscious Dating Attraction course mainly to follow along with the Conscious Dating principles as I am dating for marriage. Singles 2 along with implementing Singles 3 allowed me to quickly find a marriage minded guy with my online profile and we had sent each other our Perfect Day along with all our Requirements, Wants and Needs by date 3. During the coaching practices I uncovered a pattern of mini marriages and helped me draw boundaries through requirements coaching that got me the result above. Singles 2 and 3 was a blast to implement in real life!”

“Tereasa Jones is a spectacular trainer! She genuinely desires each student to learn as much as possible and provides a warm and supportive learning environment. Tereasa is the consummate professional and an incredible asset. A wonderful experience!”

“Teresea Jones makes it easy to wade into what seems like a deep stream of material and concepts. She knows how to guide the wandering into productive explorations. And her demonstration coaching is a very welcome verification that she walks her talk!”

“The Singles 1 class through RCI was one of the best professional training classes I’ve ever taken. Other distance classes can feel lonely, but this class was the perfect size to really get to know all the classmates and the teachers. The lab component was KEY to really putting the principles we were taught to use. The combination of knowledge and practice I’ve gained from this class make me much more confident in my abilities as a relationship coach.”

“Training with RCI is top notch. Faculty and class members are skilled in multiple areas offering a depth and richness to each session that is unparalled. Trainings may be repeated layering additional depth and richness into ones expertise each and every time.”

“Your materials work! I have been a successful single for the last few months, doing my own things and bingo it happens! The man I envisioned has arrived into my life. Thanks for all your wisdom.”

“This program was very powerful for me. Although I have always viewed myself as pretty self-aware, I now have new insights about what I need in a relationship that will guide me to choose a good match for me. And the idea of screening potential partners for my requirements BEFORE the first date is a liberating concept. I feel sure I will save myself a lot of energy and move more quickly to finding my life partner.”

“Relationship Coaching Institute’s Conscious Dating program increases self-awareness. As an RCI-Certified Relationship Coach, I feel grateful to have effective tools to coach clients through the process of getting clear about the life and the life partner they truly desire. The Conscious Dating prorgram brings the power of self-knowledge and the spirit of possibility back into the search for a life partner.”

“I really love using this program with my single clients and have seen some of them go on to create really wonderful and conscious relationships — so I thank you for your part in my being able to help people find their life partner. This has always been a passion of mine and the Conscious Dating program is a wonderful vehicle for that passion. Many thanks for all the wonderful resources you so generously share with all of us. Congratulations on your book and the wonderful legacy you are creating.”

“What I liked most about the class was the clear focus and direction of the materials and the excellent leadership of the facilitators. The energy from the group was the most powerful aspect of this training. It has helped me to create so much in my life.”

“I am a certified relationship specialist with over 28 years experience as a counselor but had no idea how to start and run my own business. I found RCI was blown away with the amount of training and knowledge they offer. This program is equally beneficial for seasoned professionals and those with no coaching experience. Not only do they teach you what you need to know to be a great coach, they also give you the tools you need to start and run your business. I learned how to create a niche, how to sell programs instead of sessions, how to market my business, and much more. They are very professional and knowledgeable. The growth you can experience with them is unlimited. This is the best investment I have made in my professional career. I am blessed to have found them and to be a part of this organization.”

“I’m really happy with my decision to join RCI. Even though I’ve been coaching singles for years, the exercises and programs are saving me mountains of time. I just started the couples training and really like my lab group and training circle. It is wonderful to have the RCI “Done for You” resources for my business, I have been needing them for a long time! My only regret is that I did not join you sooner! Thanks for putting together such a wonderful organization!”

“Although I was a Certified Professional Life Coach through another very well known coaching school, I was lost. I didn’t have a niche and I didn’t have any support, tools, or materials, such as workshops, worksheets, or programs to offer my clients. I was creating them all by myself and I was frustrated and floundering. When I discovered RCI and their programs, it completely changed my life as a human being, a coach, and a business owner. I now had the training, support, and materials I needed to enroll clients and in a way that I could truly afford! I also had a niche that completely resonated with my soul! The materials are amazing and so is the support to help you build your business… and this is coming from someone who already had an MBA. RCI has everything in place to help you be a successful coach and run a successful business that truly resonates with your soul and pays the bills!”

“I’m a Southern Baptist minister and retired Navy chaplain. My professional subspecialty was initially Pastoral Counseling and then Marriage and Family Education. After 38 years of specializing in helping marriages thrive, I was nearing retirement with the dream of focusing entirely on relationship coaching. So I turned to RCI and completed their couples’ coach training and went through their business building programs. I must say that this is the most helpful training I have ever experienced in real-world application of skills needed to make a difference in people’s lives. Plus, RCI has helped me tremendously in the task of setting up my coaching practice to both make a living and make a difference while enjoying my “retirement career.” Thank you RCI!”

“I was single for 13 years and had been looking for my soul mate that entire time. I stumbled across a relationship coach and started my journey of being conscious of who I was and what I was passionate about. I learned that the reason that I was dating the wrong men over and over had nothing to do with the men, but everything to do with me. After meeting Bob, the love of my life, it became a huge desire for me to help others manifest the love that I had found in my life.

I think the hardest thing for me when I first started with RCI was that I did not come from a therapist or coach background and so many in my first class had years of experience in the field. I felt a little intimidated and overwhelmed in the beginning. But with the help and encouragement of all my RCI trainiers, I quickly realized that I was unique and had something to offer. The training was so thorough that you have a confidence and know that you have all the tools you need.

My experience was truly life changing! You can not come through the training at RCI without a huge transformation. RCI not only provides excellent, insightful trainers but a phenomenal amount of resources that gives you everything you need to be successful. They were instrumental in teaching me that it is not only what you know, but how you are there for your client, just as they were there for me.”

“I am a matchmaker and a life and organizational coach. I took singles training with RCI right after completing my life and career coaching certificate at NYU. The classes were inspiring and fun and the content and tools were fabulous! I learned so much about dating consciously and how to coach clients on getting clear on their values, life purpose and their needs and requirements when searching for a soul mate. I also received practice coaching in class as well as in coaching labs. Had I known about RCI earlier I most likely would have taken my life coaching training with them. RCI also provides wonderful training relative to building your coaching practice.”

“I have felt so welcomed and taken care of since I joined RCI. I get the personal attention I’ve always wanted, the care that I get is top notch, I get the coaches and the teachers that I need to build my business and the confidence to be a coach. You can work directly with David and the instructors and they really care. If you’re wondering if RCI is the place for you and if it’s real, I have to say this is the best personal development investment I’ve ever made.”

I love being a relationship coach because…in a world that is starved for authentic, loving relationships, what could be more fun and exciting than helping people gain their perfect partnerships? The joy of helping singles and couples move away from “I’m hurting so badly. I want to be loved, appreciated and respected for who I am” to “Wow! I’m amazed! All of my relationships . . . professional and personal . . . are now feeding me the love and support I’ve always wanted. Now, everything in my life seems easier!” I never forget what a privilege it is to hear you share your concerns and dreams in a safe setting as we design your personal journey to relationship happiness and success.

I love being a Relationship Coach because…I get to watch my clients grow, blossom, become stronger, more self-directed and in charge of their lives. My clients usually come to coaching because they want to stop feeling lost or foggy about themselves and their life. They want help lifting the fog to see clearly. They want to uncover their ultimate destination in life and find ‘the one’ to share their new, amazing life with. When you help a client become empowered and self-confident in their life you cannot help but jump for joy as they begin to take charge of their life and embrace the role of the chooser in their life and relationships. You cannot help but feel an amazing sense of fulfillment because you had a hand in getting them there. It’s like watching a baby bird leave the nest for the first time and seeing them soar! I cannot think of any other profession that is more fulfilling than Relationship Coaching!

I love being a relationship coach because…I get to see marriages and families restored to a better place than they have ever been. It is so rewarding to faciliate incredible positive changes in lives that were so devastated before our work together. Finally I can choose to work more than I need to just because of the joy I get from fulfilling my vocation. My mission in life is to raise consciousness and therefore see happiness ripple out from each individual I have contact with. Relationship Coaching has given me the best opportunity to reach the most people in the most effective ways with the many tools I have mastered over the years.

[sc_embed_player_template1 fileurl=”https://www.relationshipcoachinginstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/potter.mp3″]

I love being a Relationship Coach because…lives are changed before my eyes. I love when my clients begin to have hope and confidence they did not have before and I feel as though I’m making a real difference in their lives, which then makes a difference in their world and the world-at-large. While I may not always be able to save a marriage, I feel as though I’m doing my part to change the current divorce statistics in helping to save the “next” marriage. My clients are becoming healthier and stronger people and choosing mates differently because of their new skills and perspectives.

[sc_embed_player_template1 fileurl=”https://www.relationshipcoachinginstitute.com/audio/blacksher.mp3″]

I love being a relationship coach because…to me, nothing is more important or more rewarding than being the holder of possibilities for couples who love each other and are developing the emotional intelligence and learning the relationship skills necessary to co-create the happy, loving and lasting marriages they want and deserve. It is a sacred trust to sit in the presence of couples who are digging down deep inside themselves and connecting deeply with each other.

[sc_embed_player_template1 fileurl=”https://www.relationshipcoachinginstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/dr_black.mp3″]

I love being a Relationship Coach because…I get to see the beauty and power in someone when they don’t see it in themselves. There is nothing like standing for someone’s greatness, knowing who they really are inside and calling them forth. It makes me happy to help my clients open up in heart, mind and soul.

I love being a relationship coach because…I get to rock my client’s world, helping design their personal recipe for love! It is so exciting busting down barriers and igniting desires. By focusing on self-love and personal requirements, my client strengthens their authenticity and readies themselves to attract the love of their life. My enthusiasm for change and forward movement is contagious, and seeing the success of a client facing fears and jumping outside the lines is my greatest reward. I cherish the energy exchange between the client and coach and the safe space it creates for truth-telling and growth. Sharing my passion for love through coaching is my true calling… I am leading the “Love Revolution” one client at a time!

I love being a relationship coach because…as a 77 year old military vet and a three time veteran of divorce, I knew I had to make some changes. I began to study everything I could about love, sex and relationship. I have degrees in Business, Engineering and Law so I know how to study. After reading everything I could find on the subject, I found RCI and I knew I was on the right track. I’m celebrating nine years in the relationship of my dreams and my wife and I consider our love life a spiritual practice. My mission is to bring the joy and fulfillment of a great relationship to as many people as I can.

I love being a Relationship Coach because…I love supporting my clients to open their hearts, heal their relationships, improve the quality of their connections, and take responsibility for themselves so that ultimately the world becomes a more peaceful and loving and spiritually connected place.

I love being a Relationship Coach because…it’s the most amazing job in the world. Most of us want to be in a happy and fulfilling relationship, which impacts every area of our lives. Helping my clients find and experience lasting love is deeply satisfying. I’ve also found that the skills I’ve learned as a relationship coach have enriched my own marriage and my relationship just keeps getting better and better, which also helps me to support others. I can’t think of anything I would rather do than be a Relationship Coach. I want to make a difference. I want to help others find lasting happiness with the love of their life.

I love being a relationship coach because…I get to help women break through the barriers of discouragement and overwhelm to find the love of their lives. It’s amazingly rewarding to see my clients break through fears and live their best lives.

I love being a Relationship Coach because…it’s what God put me here to do – I’m singing the song I came to sing.

I love being a Relationship Coach, because…it allows me the opportunity to share my gifts, skills, and talents with the world. It gives me the pleasure of watching light bulbs come on; of witnessing transformations take place; and of experiencing the blessing of sharing in relationships that are making impactful connections in one another’s lives and the world. It’s an honor and a privilege to be selected to walk alongside these relationships in their process. This is why I love being a Relationship Coach!

I love being a relationship coach because…I get to help struggling couples fall in love all over again and save their relationship from falling apart.

I love being a relationship coach because…it has allowed me to further support so many singles I meet through my matchmaking business. The ‘pairing’ of the two has enabled me to equip singles with essential, critical tools and information, which in turn, better their chances of a lasting relationship.

I love being a relationship coach because…I have the privilege of helping my clients get conscious about their choices that have led them into unhappy relationships and supporting them to get crystal clear about what they want their life and their next relationship to feel like and be like. I just love supporting each of my clients transformations from an unfulfilled life into the life of their dreams. As Zig Ziglar says, “You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.” It’s a great privilege supporting someone to get what they’ve always wanted and didn’t believe they could have.

I love being a relationship coach because…I used to be a part of a church that taught dating was wrong. Seeing so many single people stay single and act like it was God’s Will was disheartening. It is empowering to help my clients realize that they can MAKE a successful relationship happen instead of waiting around hoping it will happen.

I love being a relationship coach because…I love empowering my clients to make good decisions about the most important relationships in their lives. I love the transformation that occurs when my clients begin to put the pieces together. I love feeling like I had a part in the making of a relationship that will sustain my clients for the rest of their lives!

I love being a relationship coach because… of the positive energy transfer that occurs when I support and help maintain the essence of a marriage and a family. When my coaching helps to keep marriages and families together the positive energy transfers to the children, to their growth and development, and then to the world that they will influence as relationship functional adults. Relationship Coaching helps me to be the change that I want to see!

I love being a relationship coach because… I get to be the soul mate catalyst and witness powerful breakthroughs and transformations in peoples’ lives. Women who used to lose themselves in relationships with men who didn’t respect or value them now become their own soul mate and choose differently in love and life. It humbles me to know the work I do has such an impact and I am inspired by the people I have the privilege of working with. I’ve had many different jobs, but none as rewarding as the one where I get to hear- “Maeve has made me whole again. Life is more fun and I’m more optimistic about the future.” Another great benefit of being a relationship coach? I’m in a loving relationship with my own soul mate and belong to a family of caring experts at RCI I can call upon if needed.

I love being a relationship coach because…of the joy and fulfillment that comes from helping singles and couples connect from a heart-centered space in a brain dominated world. Communication, listening, being heard, unconditional love, and addressing what’s not working are the strongholds in any relationship. After having been a single looking for love, finding love, and creating a blissful marriage, I love helping singles and couples find and create loving and lasting relationships.

I love being a relationship coach because… I can make a difference in one of the most important areas of people’s lives and care for myself at the same time. I’ve been living with chronic illness for over a decade and being a Relationship Coach has given me the flexibility I’ve needed to work with people who live all over the world from the comfort of my home. After getting sick I didn’t know what I would do for work until I discovered I could be a Relationship Coach and use the technology we have today to help my clients. It’s been a dream career come true! Plus, in my own life, I found and married the man of my dreams. My husband, who has been a hospice Chaplain, says that what people on their deathbed care most about is who they loved and who loved them. I want my clients to know and experience deep and lasting love.

I love being a relationship coach because…relationships are the cornerstone of human existence. Without relationships we cannot survive; it’s that simple. To be in a position to help my clients move from an unhappy seemingly stuck-in-quicksand situation to a fulfilled and happy life…, well, there is no greater satisfaction. The courage I see in my clients is so inspiring. There is so much synergy in the client/coach relationship that I think everyone should learn to be a coach. I subscribe to the old Buddhist saying “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.” My clients are–and always have been–my teachers. I love being a coach.

My training has also been put to good use in my own marriage, now in its 40th delicious year.

“I have felt so welcomed and taken care of since I joined RCI. I get the personal attention I’ve always wanted, the care that I get is top notch, I get the coaches and the teachers that I need to build my business and the confidence to be a coach. You can work directly with David and the instructors and they really care. If you’re wondering if RCI is the place for you and if it’s real, I have to say this is the best personal development investment I’ve ever made.”

“Hi, I’m Birgit from Switzerland. When I joined RCI a few months ago I had no idea about the coaching methodology and thanks to RCI’s excellent high quality curriculum and content I was up to speed in no time and getting my own coaching clients. What I like most about RCI is the flexibility, that it’s online and I can join from wherever I am in the world, and the different cohorts allow me to choose the perfect class times for my busy life. The support team of RCI is outstanding, I get my questions answered within 24 hours or shorter, and always in a very helpful, warm way that makes me feel heard and helped and feel like I’m coming to my family. I love that RCI pushes us to practice and apply what we learn and is exactly what I need to be a successful coach. RCI has extremely helpful business building materials, support calls, and coaching materials I use with my clients. I’m a huge RCI fan and I’m happy to be a Lifetime Member.”

“The Couples Training was such an amazing experience in so many ways! It was clear, insightful and practical, distilling complex material into simple, accessible truths with concrete suggestions for implementation. My work as a therapist has been positively impacted by many things I have learned in this course, and my work as a Relationship Coach now has a solid foundation to build on. On a personal level, I have learned what is possible and how to reverse-engineer the relationship of my dreams! Many, many thanks for all of the invaluable information and support. I am so grateful I made the decision to join RCI!”

“RCI provides top training to help you on your journey to be a highly profitable coach. It is not enough to just have good coaching skills. You need to be able to know how to market your programs and put yourself out there. RCI helps you do that, and all of these amazing tools are at your fingertips so you can make coaching your full time employment as part of your membership. This is amazing, and if you are wondering which coaching program to go with look no further it is all here with RCI.”

“RCI is my best investment so far in coaching education and business building. Great trainings, step by step plan on how to build a successful practice and daily support with all kinds of questions and concerns re: clients and my business.”

“After 38 years of specializing in helping marriages thrive, I was nearing retirement with the dream of focusing entirely on relationship coaching. So I turned to RCI and completed their couples’ coach training and went through their business building programs. I must say that this is the most helpful training I have ever experienced in real-world application of skills needed to make a difference in people’s lives. Plus, RCI has helped me tremendously in the task of setting up my coaching practice to both make a living and make a difference while enjoying my “retirement career.” Thank you RCI!”

“I am a certified relationship specialist with over 28 years experience as a counselor but had no idea how to start and run my own business. I found RCI was blown away with the amount of training and knowledge they offer. This program is equally beneficial for seasoned professionals and those with no coaching experience. Not only do they teach you what you need to know to be a great coach, they also give you the tools you need to start and run your business. I learned how to create a niche, how to sell programs instead of sessions, how to market my business, and much more. They are very professional and knowledgeable. The growth you can experience with them is unlimited. This is the best investment I have made in my professional career. I am blessed to have found them and to be a part of this organization.”

“I first trained with RCI in 2002 and still actively use all I learned and all of their fabulous, always-evolving resources — it really is the gift that keeps on giving! I started my coaching practice in the late-90s as a Life and Career Transition Coach and it quickly became apparent that the two big areas clients wanted to focus on were work and love. I’m also an Interfaith Minister and have been officiating weddings for the last 15 years as well. RCI appeared at the perfect time as I had coaching clients who were single and wanting to get concrete support in finding “the one” (i.e. not just dating advice), as well as wedding couples who wanted pre-marital coaching. RCI provides powerful workbooks to use with clients and they continually update them, not to mention offering a myriad of assessments, articles, and marketing templates and resources. Today I still offer Conscious Dating® teleclasses in addition to working one-on-one with singles. And I find that I’m working with more and more couples — not just pre-marital — which frankly wasn’t my original aim. The support I get from RCI has has given me the confidence and resources to branch out in new directions which I’m loving!”

“I’ve been a member of RCI for over 2 years and took the Singles Coaching training and received my certification. I’m also a graduate of their Couples Coaching training and will be applying for my Couples Certification. RCI provides a huge amount of resources, assistance, training, business development and so much more. I have met some wonderful people during the training and now have long life friendships. RCI is not just a training institute, it offers so much more. I am very please to be a part of RCI and becoming a lifetime member. Thank you RCI for changing my career and opening a new opportunity of personal growth. I highly recommend RCI to anyone seeking to build a coaching business.”

“I connected with Relationship Coaching Institute (RCI) in 2011 and have since completed certifications in both Singles and Couples Relationship Coaching. The materials and the training received are outstanding and leave you fully equipped with the skills, know how, and tools to facilitate individual, couple, and group coaching. With the done-for-you materials, marketing and business training and support, I find no reason to reinvent the wheel; and as a lifetime member, I find this to be of great value. You can come to RCI with no training what-so-ever and leave ready to start and grow your own coaching practice; and with the support available at your finger tips, there’s no reason for you not to make it. RCI is one investment I’ve made and never regretted.”

“I am a matchmaker and a life and organizational coach. I took singles training with RCI right after completing my life and career coaching certificate at NYU. The classes were inspiring and fun and the content and tools were fabulous! I learned so much about dating consciously and how to coach clients on getting clear on their values, life purpose and their needs and requirements when searching for a soul mate. I also received practice coaching in class as well as in coaching labs. Had I known about RCI earlier I most likely would have taken my life coaching training with them. RCI also provides wonderful training relative to building your coaching practice.”

“Although I was a Certified Professional Life Coach through another very well known coaching school, I was lost. I didn’t have a niche and I didn’t have any support, tools, or materials, such as workshops, worksheets, or programs to offer my clients. I was creating them all by myself and I was frustrated and floundering. When I discovered RCI and their programs, it completely changed my life as a human being, a coach, and a business owner. I now had the training, support, and materials I needed to enroll clients and in a way that I could truly afford! I also had a niche that completely resonated with my soul! The materials are amazing and so is the support to help you build your business… and this is coming from someone who already had an MBA. RCI has everything in place to help you be a successful coach and run a successful business that truly resonates with your soul and pays the bills!”

“For any coach interested in relationships, RCI is the way to go. I was skeptical at first since I was already certified as a Life Coach from another coaching school. However, I can truly say that RCI was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The depth of the information amazed me, as did the abundance of resources and the support system RCI provided, because it was absent from the other coaching school I attended. I was thrilled by the trainers who always made certain that the student had everything necessary to succeed in the course. Most of all, RCI forever changed the way I view relationships – not just romantic relationships, but relationships in general. The course has made me more generous and gentle in my recognition that we’re all loving as best we know how and that we’re all on different levels in expressing that love. RCI’s classes helps one to love and live consciously – and that’s a great thing.”

The Communication Map is a wonderfully simple and practical tool not only for couples, but also for anyone in relationships. The one page visual of the Communication Map itself is excellent as a reminder of the steps. The e-book provides a clear description of the steps, as well as examples of the effective and ineffective ways that we can communicate when we are facing issues in our relationships. As a leadership, team, and relationship coach who focuses on the science behind high performance relationships, I found The Communication Map e-book to be soundly rooted in the behaviors that differentiate successful couples and teams. Overall, it is a well written, easy to read e-book that provides a simple tool that you can implement immediately to improve your important relationships.

”The Communication Map is an important tool for mutual understanding, deeper communication and true listening. The best part is that it’s so simple and its application is immediate . My clients find The Communication Map to be an invaluable resource and appreciate it’ simplicity and effectiveness. It soothes, heals, and paves the way for each of the partners to feel truly loved and appreciated.”

“The Communication Map is so easy to use! Thank you, David Steele, for saving my clients time and money by creating a tool they can quickly implement themselves. I literally only take a few minutes to show it to them and they can use it independently. The Communication Map provides great value, is simple and easy to use, saves time and money, and promotes closer and more effective relating.”

“I have used your Communication Map in my practice quite a bit with great results. I’ve been impressed with the Communication Map as a practical communication tool that combines simplicity and effectiveness in one package. It’s intuitive, easy-to-learn, and captures the essence of how couples can work together to resolve difficult issues, create mutual understanding and feel more connected. Thank you David for creating this valuable resource.”

“The Communication Map is an easy-to-follow, step-by-step program for communicating more effectively with others , whether it’s with your spouse, partner, children or co-workers. Don’t let unresolved problems and conflict stand in the way of creating meaningful relationships. By following the Communication Map you’ll learn how to be a more conscious communicator to get your needs met while making it a win-win for both of you. I’ve used it and I know it works. It can work for you, too.”

“The Communication Map is great – We got a quantity and gave them to all of our couple friends. We love it, they love it . Whenever one of us is upset we walk through the steps. It recently made a huge difference for one recent upset that we thought we couldn’t get past, but we got to what was really going on, made a request, an agreement, and the upset disappeared! Thanks so very much!”

“The Communication Map is a great tool that has helped my clients to reduce or eliminate unpleasant conflicts that used to end in arguing and disappointment. By using this simple, easy-to-learn method of conflict resolution, couples address their respective needs and restore harmony and satisfaction in their relationship.”

“I LOVE the communication map and the audio/video tutorial. Using this tool with couples leaves no room for miscommunication for either party. What I like is it empowers both parties to express themselves and really listen to one another. Not only have I used it with couples but also in my own relationship. It is the glue that can unite couples on a much stronger level. Thank you for creating it.”

“After going through the Communication Map I couldn’t help but think ‘Man, I wish I had this ten years ago!’ Better yet, why can’t we teach this in our schools, starting in Kindergarten?!! The Communication Map clearly shows the steps we need to work through conflicts – with anyone – and having David go through the steps from the CD brings it all home. I appreciate the durability of the laminated chart as well. It would be nice if there was one in each household, school and workplace! Think of a world where people could communicate on such a conscious and caring level! Wow! I’m in! The Communication Map has very high value for the small investment – A very enthusiastic two thumbs up!! Thank You David!”

“The Communication Map is simple, but profound . I’ve already used it to improve several business and family relationships.”

“Professional Coaching Foundations is a doorway into the exciting world of coaching. Come ready to learn, throw out your preconceived notions, and practice the coach approach! You will learn about the many skills a coach utilizes to help a client move forward toward their big picture goals and you’ll be challenged to speak with intention, clarity, and presence.”

The RCI coaching program is the absolute best in it’s field.  The concepts and content are exceptional.  RCI is helping couples worldwide to live an emotionally healthier and more connected life together.

“It has been a wonderful journey of learning and growth at RCI, being a fresh learner of Coaching, this course has given me a powerful skill, exactly what i was looking for to add to my skills box. They are highly professional, have a great set of learned and experienced teachers.  I feel confident to start my coaching business!”

“I found the course very interesting, credit goes out to RCI.  The knowledge I have received is invaluable. I did on occassion find it challenging but that is the driver to keep going moving out of my comfort zone to work harder to achieve the desire goal of completing the course. Thoroughly enjoyed the course totally different from my background, but through this training I believe I can make a difference in peoples lives.

If you have ever considered working in the coaching industry and want to become a true leader in the Relationship field. I, 100% recommend the Relationship Coaching Institute. There professionalism, training and the will to create a fantastic coach seems effortless – so if you need a coaching organisation ensure you get in contact RCI.”

“I have just completed my Couples Coaching Training. In a 6 months journey I have finished 4 Couples training programs each of which was a rich experience of its own.  RCI is unique in the richness of material, immediate support and valuable feedback throughout the whole journey. The Team is highly professional, experienced and friendly.

The Knowledge is presented in a variety of ways that together create the rich experience of understanding and applying yet have room to be true to who I really am as a coach and as a person.

I’m proud to be an RCI graduate.”

“The amount of available exercises available with the instruction and guidance of how to use them has helped me start and maintain my successful coaching business for 17 years  and till now they are always enriched , updated, automated and inspiring to create my own versions and variations of them

RCI have not only excelled in the information, strategies and application but as always, they have been updating and upgrading their platforms and the paths that support each and every coach reach the success they dream of.

As a coach, there are times when I get doubtful or feel less than empowered to move on my path, RCI has always been the hub to rely on for knowledge, guidance, direction and support. It’s by far easier to regain confidence and get back on track with RCI’s support.

My success as a coach has always been nurtured by RCI.”

I’ve been a member of Relationship Coaching Institute for a year now, and I am most impressed, it far exceeds my expectations. The instructors, the mentors, the labs, the classes and all the many, many materials provided, all are excellent. I love the way that the training – in addition to providing the theory of coaching singles – gives the opportunity for lots of practice, and also addresses the business side so I can enroll clients and set up my successful coaching business.

The cost to enroll in RCI seems to me to be very reasonable considering everything that is included, it is an investment in myself and in my future. My RCI membership will enable me to create my very successful singles coaching business. The course is amazing, and I am so grateful to be doing it.
