Why Your Clients Need This (And Why You Do Too)

As a coach, you want to help your clients get unstuck, find clarity, make better decisions and find fulfillment in all they do. The WHY Discovery process is the ideal tool to help you give them all these things.

What This Means for Your Clients:

What This Means for You:

My life changed when I discovered my WHY. My passion leapt to levels I had never experienced before. I had a new confidence and a clarity of what’s next that set me on the path I’m on today.

I’ve spent over a decade trying to make a case for the power of WHY. Now I’m ready to ask for help. I want as many people as possible to find their WHY.  Which means I need coaches, lots of them, to join me in common cause.

Let’s work together to build a world in which people wake up every day inspired, feel safe wherever they are, and return home fulfilled by the work they do.

Our Graduates are Very Happy

Ashley T, Ph.D.

Life, Executive, and Academic Coach

“This is step one for me. This is the foundation of my entire practice because I am so bought in. I believe in this so deeply that I don't feel like I can effectively coach people, groups, unless we start with this. Because this gives me insight into everything else that we will accomplish moving forward. This is what my entire practice will be based on.”

Geoff R.

Counselor and Coach

“I've spent thousands of dollars on training and education and certification. I think honestly, hands down, this was probably the best. It was just impactful in a lot of different ways. Personally, relationally, professionally."

Stella D, Ph.D.

Leadership Coach

“This training gave me the confidence and mastery to conduct real WHY Discoveries - not just scratch the surface. My clients now describe their WHY as their personal compass, and I’ve seen them pivot careers, strengthen relationships, and make bold choices with clarity and confidence. They now have language for what they did not have words for. And putting words to their feelings has helped them move to action. I couldn’t do this work without the certification.”

FAQs

The training takes about 35 hours plus 5 hours for your final certification requirements. It’s designed as a blend of self-paced lessons from Simon and four live practice sessions where you’ll work directly with our Master Trainers.

The learning happens primarily in the coursework, so it is important to complete all assignments in order to gain full knowledge of the methodology and support your cohort.

Not at all. While many of our participants are coaches, trainers, or HR professionals, the only real requirement is curiosity and a genuine desire to help others find their purpose. We’ll teach you the complete WHY Discovery process from the ground up.

A reliable internet connection, availability for all of the four live classes, and the commitment to complete the online learning and practice with your cohort. We provide all the tools and resources you’ll need. All 2025 classes are conducted in English for English-speaking participants.

You’ll complete and record your own WHY Discovery session and pass a written exam to demonstrate your mastery of the methodology. Once you’ve successfully completed both, you’ll officially become a Certified WHY Coach.

You become part of our global network of Certified WHY Coaches and continue your journey with ongoing learning opportunities, practice groups, community support, and a listing in our online coaches directory (launching soon).

Currently, the certification covers one-on-one WHY Discoveries. We’re developing a group facilitation course that we plan to launch in early 2026.

For 2025, the program is available in English only. We’re excited to expand to additional languages in 2026.

A spark is something quite small and, by itself, not very powerful. But a spark has the ability to ignite. An idea is like a spark; alone it is just a set of words, but it too can ignite. A great idea can inspire others to dream bigger. Let us all work together to ignite something greater than ourselves.

Let us all be a Spark of Optimism.
