Do you have clients that seem to have an immunity to change no matter how supportive you are of their challenges?
You use your best protocols on these clients, and they come up short. You know, the clients that continue to:
- Stay in a relationship that doesn’t serve them.
- Be stuck in jobs/careers that are unfulfilling and won’t make efforts to change.
- Sabotage themselves in some way despite knowing not to do so.
- Stay unaccountable to their goals.
- Move the goal post to avoid committing.
- Stay in confusion about their purpose or meaning.
Your seeds of wisdom and support end up on barren ground, their immunity to change overwhelms that process and renders your support ineffective. This can be frustrating because you want to be effective and support people in their time of need.
It is easy to make the judgment that the client is just not willing or ready to change. Although that can indeed be true, it could also be true that the client would respond to a different approach to support.
That’s precisely what we are offering…
Inner Presence Work is a next-generation facilitated inquiry coaching method that supports people to utilize the power of their own presence to safely access and emotionally connect with core unconscious beliefs and limitations in a way where they are effortlessly transformed.
Do you know what keeps you from being effective with some clients?
We genuinely considered all the ways clients (and coaches) confound efficacy in coaching sessions and created the protocols and prompts to remedy such derailments.
For example, in an Inner Presence Inquiry Session, the client who stays in a relationship that doesn’t serve them will be gently and expertly guided around the gauntlet of protection to emotionally connect with the deeper vulnerable part that holds the emotional reason(s) why it is necessary to stay in the relationship.
This vulnerable part holds the key to change. Until it is accessed and brought into awareness, no amount of goal setting and motivational efforts will be effective.
Same with clients who sabotage their success: There are perfectly good emotional reasons why it makes sense to sabotage their success that emerge within the Inner Presence Inquiry session.
In short, we have developed inquiry protocols that support clients to access vulnerable, disowned aspects of themselves and bring this into awareness so that it can change.
Inner Presence Inquiry work operates on the assumption that no deep and lasting change with happen until and unless what is unconsciously held is brought into awareness.
BUT, and this is a huge BUT, the particular way in which some disowned material is brought into awareness makes the difference in whether something can change or not.
Inner Presence work makes the distinction between Intellectual insights versus insights that come from the client emotionally connecting to the deeper vulnerable parts that inspire effortless transformations.
Many people report that “issues” they worked on for years were resolved quickly with Inner Presence work.
You are invited to discover this unique, “next level” way of supporting your clients!
After completing the 9-Month Inner Presence Coaching program and using these innovative methods, your clients will be saying things like:
- “I don’t know what you did, but my life has changed.”
- “I’m calmer and more at ease with myself.”
- “I no longer get triggered by so and so issue.”
- “This guardedness I had all my life is no longer with me.”
- “I have more inner space, and the activity in my life has slowed down and is effortless…”
- “My relationship with my spouse changed, and we were not even working on that.”
- “My creativity is finally freed.”
- “The thing that was holding me back is no longer present.”
- “I can’t believe that used to be a problem for me.”
- “The addictive urges have fallen off.”
Here are three reasons why this Inner Presence Program is the ultimate investment in yourself.
- Honoring Your Purpose: Your monetary investment in refining your skills will yield the high satisfaction and the sense of meaning and purpose that comes from inspiring your Clients to thrive and overcome their challenges.
- Your Increased Level of Effectiveness equals referrals: This program will support you in making deep, life-changing contributions to your clients. The return on investment of your increased effectiveness is your clients refer others to your practice which can create a waiting list practice.
- Your Own Personal/Spiritual Growth: You’re investing in your own personal/spiritual growth (it is worth it just for this sake alone). You can’t participate in this program without a significant shift in awareness and seeing some long-standing challenges transformed. Hard to put a price tag on the increase in peace, inner spaciousness, and self-compassion. All those gains will be passed on to your clients.
You Will Thrive in This course if YOU…
- Want to inspire the highest truth realization in yourself and pass that on to your clients.
- Know the value of embodied transcendence that is grounded in everyday life, instead of transcendence that dismisses and disconnects from everyday life…and emotions.
- Get excited about the healing power of presence and would like to increase your level of being present to yourself and others.
- Understand the power of working with clients in an experiential way and want to add more of those skills to your toolbox.
- Perceive the limits of “talk about” or “story about” engagements in the transformational process and want to contribute to clients differently.
- Are willing to explore fearlessly and heal your unresolved pain (if any) as a means to experience more openness, clarity, and trust.
- Feel things deeply and at the same time have a sharp mind that loves to learn new out-of-the-box methods and skills.
- Want to make sure your support of others is from a spacious, neutral position instead of it being subtly ego-driven.

Half-Day Kickstart Video Conference To Start The Program
This half-day video conference program will be the official start of the program on Saturday, April 22nd, 2023. We’ll come together and get to know each other and create a safe container. We’ll also explore what is
20 Interactive Video Conference Group Learning Sessions
We will come together as a group via video conferencing. Groups sessions last 2 hours. The specific dates and times will be decided by the group and will work for everyone. These two hours group video conferencing sessions will be about teaching the core curriculum of 16 modules that will support you in becoming a professional depth coach.
We’ll also do Q & A time, and/or demonstrations of Inner Presence work. We will co-create an experiential learning environment that includes activities, exercises, demonstrations, practice coaching, handouts and more.

and emotional connections practices. - an audio and video recording of the group conference to review. Several students have reported they went back over the course after they finish the course and got a lot more the second time around.
3 Private Coaching Session With Jerry
These sessions will give you a sense of what your clients will experience in an Inner Presence session and reinforce what you are learning in the course. You’ll have an opportunity to use these sessions to give attention to anything inside that gets stirred up in the course or in your daily life. You can use them to do deep work on yourself.
As you are probably aware, the deeper the inner work you do with yourself, the deeper you can go with your clients. The more present you are to yourself, the more present you will be to others.
In fact, your effectiveness as an Inner Presence coach will increase exponentially when tending to your own challenges and opening up more space inside.
10 Self-Paced Video Training Programs
These videos focus on a Relational Inner Map and give you a precise way to tease apart different aspect of the client that emerge in a session. These videos are packed full of useful information that takes people years to learn. Jerry has condensed and organized it all so that you can get the benefit of his years of study of in a very short time.
Once you internalize this information you’ll be poised to effectively contribute to clients because you’ll hear and see things you would have not otherwise heard or seen without the understanding of this Relational Inner Map. You’ll get the skills and confidence it takes to handle anything that comes up.
Look, you could spend 15 years of your life sifting through all the eastern enlightenment literature, the depth psychology modalities, and the compassion training as Jerry has done to come up with something equally effective, but why do that when he has done it for you already. You just need to plug yourself into the existing program and reap the benefits.
