Course Breakdown

The Heart & Mind of Nurse Coaching program equips you with 6 specialized skills to not only succeed on the board-certification exam—but to truly make an impact as a nurse coach.

1
Connect
Who am I being as I coach, lead, and serve?
The Heart & Mind of Nurse Coaching program goes beyond techniques—it invites you to develop the inner presence, clarity, and confidence to lead transformational conversations. Every skill and method we teach is grounded in this foundation, helping you show up as a powerful, heart-centered coach who creates meaningful impact. This is more than preparation for board-certification—it's preparation for who you're becoming.
2
Invite
How am I serving?
At CoachRN, we teach a service-based approach to client acquisition that shifts the focus from selling to serving. This means leading with generosity, listening without an agenda, and creating value before ever discussing a paid offer. You’ll learn how to build real relationships, not just business leads—offering transformational coaching experiences that speak louder than any sales pitch. This approach not only feels better, it works—attracting clients who are aligned, engaged, and ready to grow with you.
3
Create
What am I creating?
In the service-based approach, creation is about more than just building a business—it’s about intentionally crafting experiences, connections, and outcomes that truly serve your clients’ needs. You’ll learn to design coaching conversations and offerings that arise naturally from genuine connection and insight, rather than pressure or persuasion. This empowers you to create a thriving practice rooted in authenticity, impact, and mutual transformation—where growth happens for both you and those you serve.
4
Propose
How do I propose?
In the service-based approach, proposing isn’t about pushing or persuading—it’s about offering with clarity, respect, and timing that honors the relationship you’ve built. You’ll learn how to invite clients to take the next step in a way that feels natural and aligned, responding to their readiness rather than forcing the outcome. This creates space for authentic choice, trust, and commitment—transforming proposals into meaningful invitations that inspire action and lasting connection.
5
The 7 Dynamics
How do I build and sustain my coaching practice so that it works?
The 7 Dynamics provides a clear framework to transform your business from chaotic unpredictability into consistent, scalable success—allowing you, the entrepreneur, to focus on meaningful growth and personal fulfillment. This essential inquiry encourages you to rise above the daily grind and intentionally design a practice that aligns with your deepest purpose while running smoothly and reliably. By shifting from a reactive mindset to a proactive one, you gain the power to build a nurse coaching business that deeply serves others and supports your own well-being and ongoing growth.
6
Prepare
How do I prepare?
Preparing for the nurse coach certification is more than memorizing content—it’s about building confidence, mastery, and authentic readiness to step into your role as a certified nurse coach. At CoachRN, we guide you through every step with a comprehensive curriculum, practical skill-building, and personalized support designed to ensure you don’t just pass the exam—you excel. Our program combines deep knowledge, real-world coaching practice, and expert guidance, so you feel fully equipped and empowered to achieve certification and launch your coaching career with confidence.
