These Advanced Trainings enhance your existing coaching business with additional skills and practice
for all coaches
This six-week course meets two hours each week. It is licensed by and is the same training Gallup offers to become a certified Strengths Coach. The Cancer Journey Institute’s curriculum touches on the power of Strengths, but this course gives Cancer Journey Coaches (CJC’s) the opportunity to dive deeper into Strengths and in turn offer a better understanding in service of your clients and trainees.

More than just training, we're answering the call for more community among those whose lives have been touched by cancer. Check out our upcoming Workshops and Live Events!

Absolutely! While you may not have been through our Training Programs, you're still welcome to join many of our Workshops, Events, and Trainings. We often have coaches with their own established practices participate in our Offerings to continue developing their business by adding tools and skills, especially to add the focus of supporting the cancer community of patients, thrivers, survivors, and caregivers.
The Association is a community especially for coaches that have completed The Certification Program. While this 8-month Training covers the full spectrum of CJI's curriculum, we want to offer our coaches a place to revisit tools and concepts they want more time and attention with. These offerings also have the added benefit of continuing the flow of learning and connecting with the material after the Program concludes meeting regularly. Once you know the language, it becomes important to connect with a community that speaks the same language and upholds similar values.
Haven't joined The Association yet? All coaches can join after completing The Certification Program–whether you're officially certified or not–by submitting a follow request to @cjcassociation on Instagram.
If you aren't able to attend the next offering or missed the last one, please email [email protected]. We'd love to know what days and times would work best for you so we can better accommodate in the future.
We'd love to hear and answer your questions. We deeply believe in asking for what you want, otherwise, you'll never get it! You can either submit a Contact form or email [email protected].
Whether it's Fundamentals or Certification, the impact of our Training Programs consistently feeds transformation.
The Cancer Journey Institute Fundamentals Program came into my life at a time of major transition, as I explored new career possibilities. As a cancer survivor, I wanted to deepen my understanding of how better coaching can better support family, friends, and colleagues with cancer. What I found was not only a deeply enriching coaching program but also a healing community of compassionate coaches dedicated to guiding and supporting their students. The "VIP" Fundamentals Program gave me hands-on experience with real coaching practice sessions, helping me truly understand and value the coaching model. This class was a pivotal part of my transformation, equipping me with skills I will carry for a lifetime. While I’m still considering whether to become a coach, one thing is certain—the Cancer Journey Institute has helped me heal and embrace the next chapter of my life with a new confidence.

The depth of information taught and shared in the Cancer Journey Coach Certification class is phenomenal. It’s almost indescribable the type of learning available to us as participants (and ultimately our clients), but is measured week-by-week in the way we interact, the way we open ourselves to a greater understanding of self and the way we have grown. Each tool is woven together seamlessly.

What my heart knows, in this moment as I finish this final leg of my Certified Cancer Journey Coach Training, is this: I’m going to do something BIG with this training as a foundation. I feel called to build something. Something far more than a coaching practice, which I also plan to build. And, a big part of that is I’m going to build it with The Cancer Journey Institute. I feel that in my bones. You ask me what is possible? ANYTHING!
