In 2017, LCT launched the Heart-Based Coaching Program for the Master of Arts in Education at Pepperdine University, Westlake Village, California. In 2021, LCT expanded to establish the pilot program for HBC online classes, and the first Certified Heart-Based Coaches (CHBC) graduated on July 31, 2022.

Carlyne Kohner, the co-founder of LCT taught High School students Values Education in Viusayas. In the class, she was integrating teaching and Heart-Based Coaching (HBC) skills; she was observed by the Adminsitrators and High School Teachers. She also trained Teachers at Leodegario D. Deocampo Sr. National High School (LDSNHS) Panitan, Capiz, Region V1, Panay Island on January 31, 2024.

LCT has been empowering clients since 1997, and the online certification classes have been available since 2021. Heart-Based Coaching (HBC) graduates are called Certified Heart-Based Coaches (CHBC) in the Life Coaching Profession. The HBC program follows the tenets of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), the guild of the Coaching Profession worldwide.

LCT believes the following: a. Students at schools benefit from the services of Heart-Based Coaches who can coach students on their daily activities or obstacles in life, aspirations, dreams, life purpose, and more. b. Teachers benefit from learning Coaching skills. They can integrate these skills when teaching, interacting, empowering, communicating, and creating interpersonal relationships with their students. Science has shown that when adults hear, listen, and support their students, they are more likely to succeed academically and in life. c. Parents become well-informed and effective guardians to their children if they know how to love them through acceptance, empowerment, self-management, and other Coaching skills. d. Local Stakeholders' understanding of in-depth learning and Coaching skills can allow them to become better neighbors, parents, teachers, leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals in their neighborhoods. Each person's energy is contagious, making them active, positive, and alive community members. The role of local stakeholders is crucial in the success and growth of families, schools, and members of their area making them an integral part of the community's development.

LCT Facilitators are a distinguished group, each holding certifications from the International Coaching Federation (ICF) as Master Certified Coaches (MCC) and Professional Certioifed Coaches (PCC) and being Credentialed Co-active Coaches. They bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the Heart-Based Coaching (HBC) Program, not just as Keynote Speakers, Writers, Parents, and Educators, but also as Trainers, Mentors, and Observers in other Coaching classes. Their expertise is a testament to the quality of the HBC program. LCT Founders, Eric and Carlyne Kohner, are not just a husband and wife team, but also a living testament to the power of Heart-Based Coaching. Eric, a pioneer in the Coaching movement, and Carlyne, with education in her blood, have dedicated their lives to this cause. Their personal commitment and their daughter's success as a 2021 graduate of the HBC program are proof of its effectiveness. They are the Heart-Based Coaching family, living and breathing its principles 24/7. Carlyne firmly believes that our children are the foundation of society as the future generation. To thrive, the villagers (people in the community) must support their growth. A book by Hillary Clinton stated that it takes a village to raise a child, and according to the theory of Albert Bandura, a child learns through observing, modeling, and imitating the behaviors, attitudes, and emotional reactions of adults and others. Social learning theory considers how environmental and cognitive factors influence human learning and behavior. For Carlyne, the fusion of this theory is not just an approach, it's the Heart-Based Approach, a crucial tool for our children's development. She experienced those two concepts growing up. The child's exploration starts at home (H), at school (S), and then in the community (C). These three elements of HSC, which stands for Home, School, and Community, must be interconnected, not disconnected. This model forms the basis of the Heart-Based Coaching Program, ensuring a holistic approach to the development of the children. Carlyne's fusion of her culture, parenting, coaching, education, and community service led to a Heart-Based Coaching Program. To navigate HSC, parents, teachers, and stakeholders must empower and respect each child. It has to have an element of the following: How do we communicate with each child - empowerment words? How do we respect their characteristics, culture - personality style, morals and values? How do we treat them as human beings - a celebration of failures and successes? It will only take one person to make or break a child's heart and aspirations in life. The role of the parents, teachers, and local leaders are to facilitate, coach, and listen to them. Our notion is that these little ones will be our future leaders and members of society: the shapers and movers of the next generation and our world, planet Earth. LCT invites you to join and explore Heart-Based Coaching, a proven method that has shown to significantly improve relationships. By participating, you can discover yourself as a strong force and the possibility of building stronger relationships as family members, empowered educators, community servant-leaders, and societal stakeholders.

The checklist for learning the Heart-Based Coaching (HBC) program at Limitbusters utilizes a marking system to track the progress and mastery of Coaching skills. The system uses "C" or "P" to indicate the Coach's proficiency. "C" or Check denotes that the Coach has successfully utilized the Coaching skill, while "P" or Practice signifies that the Coach needs further practice with the skill. The checklist is divided into three key steps: Step 1. The Foundation of Coaching, which lays the groundwork for understanding core coaching principles. Step 2. The Ways of Coaching, which explores various effective coaching methods and approaches. Step 3. The Other HBC Skills from A to Z, covering a comprehensive range of additional coaching skills and techniques. This checklist is a valuable tool for coaches at Limitbusters to systematically assess and develop their coaching abilities, ensuring the delivery of high-quality and effective coaching services to our clients.

In the HBC Program, the Participants will receive two Mentorships: 1. Group Mentorship (GM)—After the online class, a one-hour (1) group mentorship will follow to debrief a particular course module. It will answer all their inquiries for that week and include more lab work to practice a specific Heart-Based Coaching skill of the day. 2. Individual Mentorship (IM)—Each Participant will have a Mentor to guide them when practicing Coaching. Each Participant will receive three times of one hour (1) of IM in the entire program. A Mentee will practice a 30-minute Coaching with their Mentor, and after that, they will debrief what works in the Coaching and what other HBC skills are necessary to hone in the Mentee's Coaching. An alternative to on-the-spot Coaching is having the Participant present a video or audio recording of their Coaching for about 20 to 30 minutes. The remaining 30 minutes will be about the Coaching Feedback. These training guidelines are designed to provide a clear and structured approach to the Participant's experiential learning in practicing HBC.

During off-Training, Participants can expect to engage in a variety of activities aimed at their personal and Coaching journey. They can practice and implement the concepts and techniques they have learned during the training, fostering real-time growth and transformation.

The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines Coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Coaching comes from the word "Coach," which means carriage in French and Hungarian. A carriage is a transportation system for passengers from where they start their ride to their destination. In other words, from here to there. Coaching happens when the clients identify what they want in their life, such as dreams, goals, etc. The Coach uses coaching skills to facilitate their agenda.

In the Coaching Community, one of the fun inquiries was: Who was the first Coach? Of course, each Coach gave their favorite answer. Here are some of their responses. Aristotle: He instilled rational thinking, ethics, and others. Confucius: He wrote about personal morality and sincerity. Emerson: He wanted the people of America to have their own culture. With his idea, people change how they view themselves within society. Heraclitus: His theory was that change was the nature of the universe. A man should exercise rational thinking. Jesus Christ: He used metaphors and stories, asked powerful questions to his disciples, and was xenial and authentic throughout his life. Pluto: A father of transcendental philosophy. A proponent of finding a deeper purpose in life to be happy. Socrates: He asked questions to his students and had meaningful conversations instead of feeding them the answers. He challenged them and encouraged learning and wisdom to attain a happy life. Ancient Times: From their perspectives, the human way of nurturing or provoking people's faculties stemmed from teaching, mentoring, counseling, and preaching. Sports Coaching: In the year 1860 in England, Coaching becomes an integral part of sports. The team hires a Coach and one-on-one Coaching for some elite athletes. Also, in 1974, Thimothy Gallwey wrote, The Inner Game of Tennis. He describes the difference between Coaching and Teaching. He mentioned how a Sports Coach applies the principle of Coaching. Business Coaching: In the 1900s, some companies hired psychologists to enhance the efficacy of their workers. They were there to offer counsel. They are now called Consultants; some call themselves Coaches even though they primarily do consultation. School Coaches: In the 1930s, we heard the word COACH from the University of Oxford. The tutor or teacher is the same as a Coach, meaning, like a carriage, he takes his learner from one stage of the journey to another. Father of Coaching: In 1980, Thomas J. Leonard founded Coach U and taught personal Coaching. CTI: Karen Kimsey House, Laura Whitworth, and Henry-Kimsey House collaborated with Thomas Leonard. In the 1990s, the three founded the Coaches Training Institute (CTI) for their Co-active Coaching program. Two of the first CTI Trainers are our co-founder, Eric Kohner, and his partner at that time, Cynthia Loy-Darst. Both of them are now Senior Trainers in the organization. Coaching for Performance: This is Sir John Whitmore's book in 1992. He created the GROW (Goal, Reality, Options, What) model. It became the coaching bible for companies and managers. Coaching Organizations: Before the Coaching Federation of Thomas Leonard, another coaching institution, the Professional Coaching and Mentoring Association, existed. In 1994, Some of the Coaches in Los Angeles, California, connected the leaders of both organizations to merge so that there would be one organization for Coaching. They did, and eventually, it became ICF (International Coaching Federation). Other Organization: CHADD (Children and Adults Attention Deficit Disorder)emerged in 1987. They have had a yearly gathering. In this conference, some Coaches participated. Another milestone for the Coaching profession because some of the Coaches were working with learning disabilities. They call themselves AD/HD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) Coaches. Metamorphosis of the Coaching Profession: Coaching is a distinct profession. There are many types of Coaches - Spiritual Coaches, Financial Coaches, Agile Coaches, etc. Heart-based Coaching (HBC): In 2012, Carlyne developed HBC specifically for Educators, Parents, and students. The model is ALIMA (Asking Powerful Questions, Listening, Intuition, Mindfulness, and Acknowledgment), and the way of Coaching is using the heart. She believes that the foundation of society is the children. They become leaders and professionals in local, national, and international communities. The children deserve a good foundation right in the get-go, in their homes, acquire wisdom at schools, and engage in our local communities. Loving them is imperative through listening, seeing, and supporting them in their dreams. Naturally, all of these skills are the components of HBC.

Generally speaking, a Therapist's clinical approach works from the past - going back in time and identifying the root of the "problems." By doing this, the client can move from the past to the present. In Coaching, the Coach coaches the human being, not the issue. Coaching creates new awareness and possibilities to move forward in their lives. A Counselor advises students on several issues they may face throughout their academics. Coaches don't counsel students; A Coach may use curiosity to ask open-ended questions. Often, clients ask their questions too, and a Coach is there to facilitate and use coaching skills in these inquiries; ultimately, they will answer them. A Mentor shares Mentees with all their mighty experience in life - a role model for a protegee. The beauty of Coaching lies when a coach does not know the client. The Coach's job is to allow the client to develop their perspective/s. This process is like a dance movement; the Coach holds the client's agenda and keeps them accountable for their action and commitment. ​ A Teacher teaches students based on their acquired credentials, books, and school curriculum mandate. In Coaching, everyone is part of the collaboration process. The job of a Coach is to empower, listen, see, and whole-heartedly design what is possible for the client or student!

Life Coaching is coaching in any of the Client's domains of development, called the development wheel, which has the formula of PEMSS + HEW = Self. These are physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual, health, environment, and wealth which results in the question of how do they take care of themselves?

The most important job of a Coach is to support the Client (Coachee) in expanding their vision. The Coach holds the Client's plan; we believe a human being is a Whole-Hearted Individual. In other words, Coaches conclude that the Client is perfect—meaning, organically wise, able to answer pondering inquiries and realize their potential. The Coach's job is to support the clients in unlocking their potential, developing their leadership skills, and supporting them with whatever goals or dreams they have. The Coach uses coaching tools such as active listening, asking powerful questions, visioning, mining for values, and much more!

We design this with each client! Most clients meet with a Life Coach weekly, but some meet every other week.

Most clients experience a new awareness of themselves, their environments, and the world in which they operate. With that, clients feel empowered to choose how they show up, navigate choices and decisions mindfully, and significantly impact their work or personal life.

The Coach and Client vow a confidential relationship. The International Coach Federation (ICF) has standard Coaches' Code of Ethics guidelines - https://coachfederation.org/code-of-ethics.

A Coach and Client 'meet' via zoom or a regular phone call.

We design upfront with the client when the Coaching Agreement is complete. Throughout the Coaching, we re-design what is in the client's service. We appreciate a one-month notice before completion. It will give a chance to design what would be next for the client's journey.
