Carol McClelland Fields, PhD, BCC
Author and Transition Trainer
After working with clients for more than 10 years, I realized I could train other Change Catalysts to use my transition and clarity programs with their own clients.
Since 2004 Master Trainer Karin Marcus and I have taught over 500 Change Catalysts how to incorporate the Seasons of Change, Purpose Clarity, Heart Magnet, and Anniversary concepts and materials into their work with clients, enhancing their impact and building their practices.

Introducing Training Opportunities for Coaches, Healers and Other Change Catalysts
Do You Support Clients in Transition?
Do your clients feel lost and confused about their future direction?
Are they in transition—ending an important phase of their life or stepping into a completely new era? If so, it's likely their friends and loved ones are giving them advice or pressuring them to take actions that are counter to your clients' inner truths.
In your role as a Change Catalyst, your clients reach out to you for support as they sort out their situation, make sense of their circumstances, decide what actions to take, and find a way to continue moving through this difficult time as effectively as possible.
On a good day, you are clear, your questions are helpful, and you feel good about the outcomes your clients are experiencing.
At other times, you feel in over your head, not sure where to go with your clients nor how to support them in their journey.
If you have experience working with clients, you may have the basics in place, but you are looking for ways to deepen or enhance your work with clients.

Coaching Clients in Uncertain Times: As the scope, intensity, and pace of change continue to escalate in ways we can't always anticipate, it's important for us understand how high levels of uncertainty alter the way clients navigate change and enhance your ability to talk about changes of this magnitude.
Coaching Clients in Uncertain Times (7.5 Credits*)
The Seasons of Change is a rich, multi-faceted nature-based metaphor created by Carol McClelland Fields, PhD, that provides guidance, direction, hope, and support to those in transition. This model is useful whether your clients have entered their transition by choice or by force, whether the transition was anticipated or came as a complete surprise.
Seasons of Change - Fundamentals (10 Credits*)
Short Courses
Unlocking Transition Anniversaries for Growth and Healing: Ever had a client who was doing well and all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, they slipped into a deep funk? The anniversaries of significant or traumatic transitions, both personal and collective, frequently trigger unresolved feelings that can be derailing. Support your clients in acknowledging and commemorating these anniversaries so they can feel whole again.
Awakening Your Client’s Heart Magnet: If your clients feel lost, confused, and unable to make decisions that align with their goals, values, and needs, they are missing a key building block to creating a thriving live. When you awaken this inner knowing, it's possible for your clients to make decisions and choices to create a life they will love.
Awakening Your Client's Heart Magnet (3 Credits*)
*All credits are awarded by Institute for Life Coach Training based on our partnership. Scroll down to read more.

What Change Catalysts Are Saying
about Carol and her Training Classes
“The Seasons of Change course was a wonderful addition to my coaching knowledge and will help me serve my clients through all the Seasons of life they walk through. The Seasons of Change model is easy to understand, and once it is related to real-world case studies it is absolutely easy to see why every coach should experience this class. ”
“The Seasons of Change course was fantastic. The course material was very organized, updated, and thoughtful. I appreciated the conversational approach of the classes each week and found the material to be useful and easy to implement. Carol McClelland Fields is so insightful and always shares context and adds depth to the material we are discussing. I found the way she organized the class to be very helpful. ”
“As a Certified Seasons of Change Coach, I found this updated training invaluable in getting a deep understanding of how Carol has brought her new insights and understandings to the Seasons of Change model. She is a well organized and very responsive teacher, open to all questions and respectful of each student’s learning process. I integrate the Seasons of Change work into my coaching approach and find that my clients are greatly helped by it whether it’s the main focus of our work, or a part that helps them better understand their experiences as they navigate change. ”
*Credits: Partnering with Institute for Life Coach Training
Great news! In recent conversations with Institute for Life Coach Training (ILCT), we made an important discovery. As of Spring, 2017, ILCT will be awarding credits for all of the classes we offer in conjunction with them. Whether you are looking for credits to finish a credential or gather continuing education units to renew your credential, you'll be awarded credits that are valid with ICF, CCE, or NAADAC. From now on, we'll provide a course link in our announcements and web pages so ILCT students can register for our classes directly on the ILCT site.
Not an ILCT student? Not to worry. Through our relationship with ILCT, we can now facilitate you in receiving credits for our classes as well. You'll register for classes on our site, and then we'll walk you through a few easy steps to secure the credits for the course you take.
We are excited to continue and deepen our partnering with ILCT. Thinking back, I realized we've been referring students to each other since I started teaching training courses in the early 2000's
