SCIENCE-BASED COACHING COURSE

What’s unique about the Science-Based Coaching Course?2022-12-15T13:21:37+00:00

Many Matchmakers already have the skill sets to coach singles and give advice but they are not confident that their advice will really work. Some even feel stuck when their clients are not progressing well on dates.

Dr. Terri Orbuch created the Science-Based Coaching Course using her experience of following the same 373 couples and studying their relationship patterns, behaviors and communication styles for close to 3 decades! Boost your confidence and credibility by getting the training and knowledge from Dr. Terri Orbuch. This is the foundation that can help take your business to the next level.
