Sound Familiar?
You're a skilled coach.
But something keeps getting in the way.
You leave sessions wondering if you actually moved the needle — or just helped someone feel better for an afternoon.
We had such a breakthrough session… and then next time we were right back at the same issue.
My client knows exactly what they don't want. But when I ask what they do want — total blank.
I feel like I'm getting trapped in the story. Every session circles back to the same narrative.
I'm working harder than my client in these sessions. Something's off, but I can't name it.
The Framework
What if the goal isn't to solve the problem,
but to make it irrelevant?
Future Self Design™ is a proprietary coaching methodology built around one insight: your clients don't come to you just to fix things. They come to find out who they are without the thing holding them back.
Shift from problem-oriented to possibility-oriented thinking — without leaving the client behind
Use intuition as a coaching tool — learn to trust what you're sensing, not just what you're hearing
Build agreements that create identity-level transformation, not just action-level compliance
Navigate the 9 most common session hurdles with language you can use immediately
Understand exactly where each client is — and how far you can stretch them right now
Anchor even small actions to future self identity so the work feels meaningful and cohesive
"Real change happens when you stop lingering in problem-solving and focus on who the client wants to be and become."
Cheryl S.What You'll Walk Away With

What Coaches Actually Said
The impact was immediate.

From the Cohort
What coaches tell other coaches.
"Future Self Design is a practical, intuitive, and easy to access framework. If you're looking to take your coaching to the next level without committing to a ton of hours, it is worth exploring. Lauren does not waste any time — we got right into applying the methodology and seeing the results."Gina C.
"I've shifted from being a coach who helps clients manage what's hard to someone who helps them orient toward who they're becoming. I listen differently now — I'm listening for signals of the future self trying to emerge."Cheryl S.
"Seeing future self in practice — Lauren is a masterful coach. I now intentionally ask for the client's quantitative assessment of their current and desired situation. It works really well and it's much more natural for my clients."Breagin R.
"I had the aha that I coach too much around the present and the problems — vs. co-creating the future and the desired destination."Linda D.
"I intentionally coach clients toward their future selves now — even if the future is as short as the end of the call. Who are they becoming?"Lisa B.
"When the coaching process feels stuck or stagnant, return to the original desire for the future self. That's the anchor."Heather R.

Common Questions
Everything you want to know first.
Do I need to be actively practicing to enroll?
No. Coaches at all stages — from recently credentialed to those returning to practice — have gotten tremendous value from this program. You will be asked to do a coaching session for homework, but an alternative exercise is available if you don't have a current client.
What credential level is this designed for?
This course is designed for ACC and PCC holders — coaches who have their foundational skills and are ready to deepen them. ICF competencies are woven throughout. The 13 CCE credits are approved for both ACC and PCC renewal submissions.
What if I miss a live session?
All sessions are recorded and available on the course page immediately after. That said, the peer coaching and live feedback is where much of the learning happens — full participation is strongly encouraged.
How is this different from other advanced coaching courses?
Most advanced training focuses on models and methodology. Future Self Design™ focuses on what's actually happening in the room — where energy goes, what intuition is telling you, and how to hold space for identity-level change rather than task-level outcomes. It's practical, not abstract.
When does the mentor coaching session take place?
After the three group sessions, you'll receive a link to book your private 1-hour mentor coaching session with Lauren directly. Bring a recording, a live question, or anything from your practice — it's your time to use however serves you most.
What's the cohort size?
Cohorts are intentionally capped at 8 coaches. The small group format is central to the learning — you'll coach each other, give and receive live feedback, and build the kind of trust that makes real exploration possible.
