Student Testimonials

“Radiant Coaches Academy changed my life. When I made the decision to switch from accounting to life coaching, the enormous selection of coaching schools overwhelmed me. But after my initial (over an hour-long!) conversation with Dez, I was convinced. This is where I need to be. Although it's difficult to put into words, I felt like I was at home. But committing requires more than simply a warm, fuzzy sensation. Dez is sharp and savvy, so the combination of feeling supported and knowing that she operates a forward-thinking, innovative, and practical program met all my needs. These were the deciding factors, and more than I expected: self-paced learning, knowledgeable instructors, a wide variety of subject matters, and a welcoming community were all provided by RCA. I was drawn to the freedom of creating my own schedule while working full-time. The ability to select the classes and times accommodated my busy schedule, but the teachers themselves made the biggest difference. The in-depth knowledge was one thing, but the encouragement to be ourselves was what really gave me confidence. I love how diverse the students are, how different our backgrounds are, and how we are all driven to be the greatest versions of ourselves in addition to helping others. Dez's accessibility amazes me as well. Whether it was a product tip or feedback on a business decision, my emails were always immediately responded to. She’s right there. Dez cares about everyone in this place, and her kindness extends beyond the Radiant family. She has a great heart for a person who is struggling, as I have personally seen. Dez's dedication to love and compassion in all areas of her life is something I am aware of, and this inspires me. Radiant Coaches Academy has helped me to develop, heal, and gain the information I need to keep moving forward on my goal of being a holistic life coach. I cherish the bonds I've made here, and I know I'm part of a family that supports me on my journey.”

“It has been a rewarding experience being part of Radiant. I love that it allows me accessibility to a community of people who are learners, seekers and coaches- indefinitely. What I appreciate about the way the course is structured is that it allows flexibility in terms of completing the work, as well as in selecting which Zooms to attend. We all have varying interests and resonate with certain guides/ teachers moreso than others, and the options allow for one to hone in on a particular area of interest and cultivate that. I have made some wonderful connections that I hope will be ongoing relationships.“

It’s authentic and people-focused, which is why I chose to pick Radiant as my school.

Having a self-paced program will fit everyone’s availability to become certified. I love how the quest program has a community and keeps us accountable, but having a Facebook group leaves room for support and connection. You will receive support all the way through from experienced coaches and those going through the course with you. This program breaks down every aspect of what you will need to be a coach, from the tools of a coach, to building your online presence and marketing yourself as a coach. Dez has been wonderful to work with, and anytime I need help or support, she has been right there for me. I had some worries about coming from a strategy and consultation background and going into coaches, but I am happy to say that this program was exactly what I needed for this venture. I am so grateful to have found Stacee, Dez, and the Radiant Coaching program!”

“I joined Radiant Coaches Academy because it focused on holistic coaching, were the education builds on expanding your awareness around who your clients are, what their needs are, and how to be an active listener. This allows you to dive into the present moment to focused on where a client is at and ways to empower them to look within to see the answer. It's a flexible program, with a clear road map to complete your certification and prepare you to start your coaching business. From self-guided lessons, live online courses, and in person retreats, you are not only learning about holistic coaching, but you are learning in a holistically community of educators and students passionate to coach people in all areas of life.”

“Attending Radiant Coaches Academy's training has done so much more than teach me how to coach others, it's transformed my internal dialog, habits, and decision-making. I feel more competent, intuitive, centered, generous, and trusting of life. The self-paced system required that I master an area where I'd gotten slack: managing multi-faceted learning effectively. With other coaches support, I replaced old habits, with new ones. Meeting the requirements at my own pace allowed me to prioritize other needs in my life, allowing me to meet my growing edges without undue stress and pressure, and with plenty of support. In the courses, critiques were invaluable, and appropriately gentle but clear to what would most help us grow. The do/don'ts learned in classes has helped me avoid mistakes and intuit better questions for my clients. Finally, Dez made our retreats unifying and fun. I've felt supported and connected in a culture which could easily be competitive. It's a joy to celebrate others' successes!”

“I really enjoy this coaching training, and Dez is an amazing coach with a big heart. You can feel her calm and fun energy in the class. She is also very knowledgeable not just in coaching, but also in many spiritual topics. I chose Radiant Coaching because of the flexibility and its uniqueness. You don’t need to resign from your job to complete 125/150 hours of study, but you can finish the classes at your own speed. I found it’s like my place, and I also found many of my type of people here. It also covers a wide range of topics and like an all-in-one school, where you can learn from coaching to yoga, crystals and tarot! You will find an amazing coaching journey here with Radiant Coaches Training. Thank you Dez and Radiant Coach to supports me to become a professional coach.”

“Radiant Coaching Academy has been truly life changing. I had been through another coaching program and upon graduating, still felt unprepared. When the opportunity arose to take this program, I was so excited. This time I was offered a scholarship to participate through my Indigenous lineage. As a woman of color, being given this opportunity, was a priceless gift. I felt empowered to truly be me and use my gifts to serve others. The online training and weekly training calls have been invaluable. Throughout this process I have also been given the blessing to apply for my PCC! If you want to get certified through a program that will expand your life's possibilities and get your fully prepared, sign up today!”

Starting this train meant stepping into my authentic self, fearlessly and unapologetically. Coming to the end of this portion of the training means that I now have the confidence to be exactly who I know I've been called to be. Since beginning this training, I have been able to refocus my mindset and go within to reconnect with self. The biggest takeaway I will leave this portion of the training with is that I have EVERYTHING I need to be who I need to be within.”

“The power of your potential awaits. If ever there was a thought or feeling that you have more to do in your life's journey or have more to offer the world, then you probably do. Ever wonder how you end up somewhere and that somewhere feels right? That's what happened to me! The training from Radiant Coaches Academy has provided me with a solid foundation that aligns with my holistic coaching beliefs. The material was instructive, straightforward, interactive, and fluid. The constant support of the Radiant Coaching Academy equips me with the resources to hone my coaching skills and confidently build my practice at my own pace. Live training and recorded library-based training allowed me to control the material flow and specify my area of interest daily.

Dez has curated a really wonderful community of people, and I’m honored to be a part of it.”

I was ready to learn, and so all the fantastic Radiant teachers appeared on the quest as well as the intensive training hosted by Dez Stephens. The training guided me and gave me all the tools needed to gain confidence, believe in myself, and show up for my clients. Thank you, Radiant teachers. I don’t know how to explain what this training has done for me. I have heard before “when the student is ready, the teacher appears” I experienced it with this course. You all are amazing teachers and I feel blessed to be able to learn from all of you! Especially Dez. I am now confident and feel ready to enter the field of coaching. Thank you all you for making this possible.”

Everyone has been helpful from Facebook groups, community groups within the training, and Dez is amazing, and always one text or email away.”

“Radiant Coaches Academy training will give you all the tools you need to become a holistic coach, open your perspective and can transform your life if you let it.  It is obvious that Dez has walked the walk of holistic life coaching and has spent the time to put together a training program that includes all the tools needed to create a successful coaching business.  The words ‘life changing’ are too often overused, but when approached with an open mind and spirit, Dez’s breadth of knowledge, combined with Misti’s experience and expertise in training, creates an opportunity for a life changing experience.” 

“Broken but Healed – This is how I describe my training.  I entered broken only to be healed while learning how to heal others. This is a journey well worth taking. Your tribe the people that embark upon this journey with you will be irreplaceable. Thank you so much Radiant Coaches Academy for reminding me that I am whole. Get ready you are in for a ride that you will never forget you are here on purpose and not by chance.”

“The 5-day in-person training was a beautiful place to explore personal and professional growth as a coach. We had an incredible group of people that created a safe space to be in together, which was essential to deepen our journeys. We will stay in touch as friends and support as we continue to flow through our lives.”

“Coming into this training with no expectations and an open mind allowed me to really delve in and be present to witness this awesome experience. In seeking to aid others to reach a place of peace, I found this training truly inspirational and transformational in my own life.

“Radiant Coaching Academy is the real deal. The combination of in-person training, online classes, the abundance of resources and mentors makes Radiant stand out among the sea of training options. This program gave me the tools I need to expand how I meet people where they are and help them on their journey. The fact that the Radiant program is accredited by the International Coaching Federation helps me know that I received top-notch training and that I have the certification I need as the coaching industry becomes more regulated. Finally, I know that this program was meant to be on my path, the culmination of years of work, but also the start of a new journey for me that will allow me to be in control of my own financial security and future while living my life’s purpose.” 

“On what felt like a whim, I enrolled in Radiant's holistic coach in-person training. I thought I was already coaching and that this certification would be a great addition to my professional credentials. I had no idea it would expand my life and shatter my own personal glass ceiling (that I didn't even know was there!) I am floored by how powerful this work has been and how quickly it can be done! Hands down this training was one of the greatest gifts I have ever given myself because it opened up a way to merge my professional expertise with my heart and passion. I am forever grateful and transformed.”

“For me, training as a coach as a psychologist led me to expand my tools. Likewise, as a person, it brought me to calm and self-love. Sharing with other people with the same passion for helping others is wonderful and enriching, it becomes a bond and a family in your life. It develops you as a human and professional. You learn to listen and see beyond the selfishness that sometimes surrounds us unconsciously. The training was like a retreat for my being, where I could find myself once again and then help others. Radiant holistic coach for me was a lot of personal growth. It moves your heart and it moves your soul, dust off your instincts, and revives them from oblivion. It was an experience of incredible connections with wonderful people, a lot of learning, and above all, I won a tool that was created to help others. Immensely happy to have been part of this team and to be part of a huge family that develops and trains itself to be better day by day so that we can give others a little of each and serve humanity not only with a reason but from the heart and soul.”

They are all very helpful and supportive, ready to answer questions or give kind words of encouragement.
