Our Coaching Philosophy
- Your mind is the most powerful thing in the Universe

- You are never a victim of change
- You are created to stand outside yourself and observe your reaction to events and circumstances around you, including your own thinking about it and how to transform it
- You are created to recognize and choose the thinking that would enable change and empower you to bring about meaningful and lasting change
- You have infinite capacity for change
- You are free to make choices on how and where to focus your attention; and
- Inner change takes place over time through consistent persistence.
What you get at the end of the Programme
At the end of the Programme, you will be issued with:
- The Saraswati Coach Academy International Change and Transformation Coach Certificate; and
- A certificate of completion as authorised by the ICF stating your CCE units completed for renewal of your ICF credential or to progress towards next levels of certification
