I am so grateful - 'great-FULL' - that I took the Menopause Coaching Specialist Certification. In my years as a Community Programmer in Special Needs, Diversely-abled Employment and Behaviour Intervention, I have always strived to embody thriving, versus surviving, by modelling (leading by example) the very process of exploring the best-fits for strength and confidence. At the heart of all community programs must be a sense of curiousity, working to shift the perspective to one of self-empowerment, rather than problem-based, or self-limiting labels etc. I found the GGS Menopause Coaching Specialist Certification program to be grounded in this very pronciple: uplifting and uplevelling, through supporting the very processes that create strength and confidence. Curiousity and a willingness to develop ownership and agency over our lives. As women go through this inevitable stage of life, I feel the GGS Menopause Coaching Specialist Certification is a vaulable resource - not just with the end goal of becoming a certified coach in this area, but also to create that shift in mindset from seclusion and self-defeating to one of self-empowerment and thriving. Thank you GGS! Sincerely, Tanya Vipond (604) 809-1572
