“Don’s end-of-life coach training is an absolute life-changing program. On my first day of class with him, I brought zero coaching experience to the table, but carried a ton of grief on my shoulders. By the end of Don’s program, he not only molded me into a professional coach, but he also helped me cope with the pain of my own tragic loss. His wisdom, his compassion, and his unwavering effort to prepare his students for the coaching field are what make Don an exceptional educator and mentor.

Thank you, Don, for being you and for doing what you do. You’ve made me a better man!”

-Andy Karam

“The grief and end of life coaching program is amazing.

Don has done a wonderful job putting it all together. It begins with the basics of coaching till you accomplish competency in life, grief, and end of life coaching.

I have done several ICF accredited programs prior to this one, but never gained the confidence in my coaching skills. With this program, and Don’s help, I became the coach that I was striving for.

Thank you Don!”

-Dr. Lina Al-Aswad

“I always felt like something was missing in the previous coach training courses I took until I found Don’s Coaching at End of Life program. Don is masterful as both a coach and a trainer and does a exceptionally thorough job of equipping coaches at the highest professional level. His training style is one of a kind and I highly recommend this coach training program.”

Ali Kennedy

“Grateful for Dr. Don and his life-changing work and mentorship through his End of Life Coaching Program. He made learning about coaching and the topic of life, grief and end of life, transformative for us as his mentees, which in turn provides a profound impact on the people that we coach. I highly recommend him as a coach and mentor, and his programs.”
