TESTIMONIALS

“This course taught me so much about myself and other people. It was interesting, rewarding, challenging and life-changing. Quality training in a supportive, caring environment.”

LUCY

The end of our training came upon us far too quickly..it almost felt a tad surreal this evening..how sad for all of us. Quite amazing to consider our diverse little group and how we have all grown so fond of each other, Thank you for creating a wonderful environment to learn and to grow ..it has opened up all sorts of possibilities for us all. I know in my heart that each and every one of us will incorporate our new skills into our lives moving forward.

WENDY

I just want to say thank you for being such an awesome trainer. As trainees you not only passed on valuable skills on how we can help others, but you helped us see insight into our own lives. I thoroughly enjoyed both Level 1 and Level 2 courses and feel honored that I now have the skill to move forward into a coaching career.

Furthermore, your after sales service is fantastic! We leave your safety net from coaching into the huge ocean of life to cast our own nets and as beginners in most fields, the ocean seems massive to us so when we know we can call on you for direction, it not only gives us peace of mind, but confidence that we pursue our careers successfully.

CARMA

I wanted to take the time to send a big THANK YOU your way! I am so loving the Advanced Coaching Course. Words fail to articulate what the training has given me, but I will give it a go….I am far more confident to articulate what I feel. I have unravelled some ‘stuff’ which previously I did not fully understand, however due to the new skills I have acquired I have a depth of understanding that has uncluttered my mind. Even more exciting is that I finally feel like the coaching has clicked for me!… I am now comfortable in my approach and what I have to offer as a Coach.

I read a FB post about honoring strong women in our lives; as I processed through the files in my mind your face popped into mind, so I wanted to share with you that I think you have constructed a mind-blowingly fabulous course, right on the button in terms of relevance and skill level. On a personal level, your inner resource and motivation to succeed are truly inspiring. You are amongst the most powerful people I have met and I am happy to know you. I wish you great prosperity with the growth of Momentum.

MONIQUE

Viv’s course is the best course I have ever done (compared against my university degree, MBA and professional qualification). It’s given me the greatest amount of personal growth and awareness in the shortest amount of time.

SOMESH

Working with Viv has been absolutely wonderful. I began our first session with a little trepidation that I was going to be ‘told how to do things better’, and was pleasantly surprised with the warmth, friendliness and support with which Viv conducted her coaching.

Not only has she helped me with learn new tools for managing staff, she has shown me a new way of looking at difficult issues. Each session was extremely beneficial and I looked forward to our discussions and her insights. I was able to walk away from those sessions confident of the skills I had and the skills I had learnt.

I have absolutely no hesitation whatsoever recommending Viv’s coaching to anyone, whether for a certain issue, career or personal development.

Viv thank you it was a fabulous course, so much learned and gained. I realise that I can be difficult sometimes (learning to keep my mouth shut, is a lesson ongoing) but even so, I have taken and learned so much about myself. Some things I fear will never change but as you said every aspect has both positive and negative so i guess it is about accepting it all. The work you teach is life changing and as we go out to coach, so many lives are changed because of your training. The impact is huge. appreciate it all, wishing you all the very best success.

Through the Momentum Training, I have gained new skills and have grown as a person. The training has unlocked my potential and opened the way to becoming a life coach. My horizons have been broadened by the trainings as I look at life from new perspectives.

Delia

In 2015, I realised that I needed to enhance and specialise in my people skills so that I may be a more effective and useful service to the world. Then I found Momentum Life Coaching & Training and knew immediately that group training was the right path for me.

In February 2016, I commenced my coach training, and I have loved every minute of it. I have gained so much value from the training process, in realising new things about myself, coaching and being coached, feeling empowered to make inspired changes in my own life and having the support of a like-minded group of new friends

Michelle

I would definitely recommend Momentum Training to anyone looking to improve their own life as well as learning to coach others. I loved every second of it!

Viv was a fantastic trainer and the learning was a powerful personal experience as well as training to bring the power of coaching to others. It was hands-on, challenging, fun and personally life changing.

Kat

My training with Momentum gave me the confidence to embark on a completely different career path by tapping into what I had to give and was most fulfilled by. I learnt so much about myself and how to support my clients through the fun, inspiring and relaxed sessions.

I couldn’t recommend this training more highly for anyone thinking about how coaching skills might enhance their life and work.

Naomi

The life coaching training was the most perfect environment for learning, growing and sharing. The face-to-face training allows discussion which is very helpful and great for shared learning. Being able to practice the tools each week on my case studies and then come back for review and discussion worked very well.

Viv’s style and wealth of experience allowed me to experience coaching first-hand and practice it with continued support. The training was fun, personally beneficial and has provided me with such amazingly useful skills for all areas of my life, parents, friends, children, colleagues etc

Carole

I have been working as a life Coach for a year now and within that year I have gained the knowledge that the training offered by Viv at Momentum Coaching outstrips anything offered elsewhere.

The face to face, learning through the atmosphere is the only way to go.

Can you really learn to be an effective coach online? I think not - do it in person, trust me, enroll at Momentum.

Toni

After I had my first interview with Vivienne Kelly for the Foundation Life Coaching Course, I didn’t have any doubts that it was going to be a life changing experience. The group that we had for the Foundation Course was meant to be, the girls became close friends, and the vibe and endless experience that Vivienne Kelly brings to the course its priceless.

After the Foundation Course ended I felt that I wanted to learn more about this beautiful career and way of living, so I continued with the Advanced Life Coaching Course.

I not only learnt the tools of how to be a Life Coach but I learnt how to implement the tools into my everyday life, communicating with others and having a deeper understanding of different personalities.

Now I am proud to say that I am a Qualified Life Coach with Momentum Life Coaching.

Johanna

Through the Momentum Training I was able to change my view on almost all day to day situations. What might have been a daunting task became a manageable opportunity. What used to be a threat to a relationship is now a potential for better understanding.

Professionally the course gave me directions and tools where my work with clients before was based on intuition and experience. After finishing the Advanced Course at Momentum, I developed the UP - Coaching System for unlimited potential. Within this unique system, the Momentum Coach-Approach is combined with body work, mindfulness and visualisations and gives clients deep insights and motivation in an inspiring and relaxing way.

Melanie

found the Momentum Coaching training to be the perfect blend of learning new skills, practice and support.

Viv & her team expertly guided us through the journey from novices to having the confidence to coach our own clients & add value to people’s lives

Kelly

I loved Momentum Training in so many ways.
• My brain was thirsty for new learnings.
• I was ready to meet new people.
• I wanted to boost my personal growth
• Momentum offered a personal training
•The training opened many opportunities. I went on to become a momentum trainer and supervisor and I opened a business, midlife courage.

Sharleen

For me, I found the course positive, and full of personal growth and possibilities. Through the sessions when you came up with an issue the tools allowed you to think outside the box. I also loved the concept of the client being the author of their own destiny by allowing them to talk and see some different ideas.

Kerry is looking to grow a coaching business using his extensive business background, while Olivia and Debby are continuing their commitment to coaching by going straight on with Advanced. Welcome to them and I look forward to a rich journey of growth for all. Michael is off on a wonderful trip and we’ll see him in February for Advanced. Have fun!

Needless to say there was plenty of laughter in this group of Foundation Graduates: Toni Kapeli, Liz Cole, Saskia Trask, Blazenka Roje, Jo Lanigan, and our ‘thorn amongst his roses’ Stephen Ryan. Stephen is considering using his experience in running programmes for kids and teens to coach teenagers; while the others are allowing their niches to evolve further during Advanced. I am thrilled that this entire group, bar one – our Lovely Liz, has moved straight on to Advanced. Liz we will miss you, but we know we will see you soon. Olivia Harvey (possibly specialising in teens) and Debby Barry (who wants to work with women in transition), have joined this group to make up one very dynamic ‘movement’ of coaches. (That’s my attempt at coming up with a collective noun for coaches – open to ideas haha.) Saskia is already on the roll with her coaching business “For Me with Love”, specialising in empowering young women.

Advanced Graduates:

Fraser Stirling, Jan Copeland, (Trainer Viv Kelly) and Somesh Eladchunamar. The depth and quality of coaching from these coaches is amazing. What a privilege to be a part of their journey.

Her warmth permeates coaching of all topics, and she has a particular interest in Body Image coaching; and Somesh leans towards Life Purpose, Career and Spiritual Coaching or anything that requires depth of clarity and perspective.

You are our sunshine bubble.
Kim, her outside the box thinking and professionalism adds a power to her coaching ability is a perfect fit for your interest in business and personal coaching.

Kylie I’m interested to see what niche she chooses with the Advanced Program as anything you touch turns to gold. Her warmth, smile and determination is highly contagious. Watch this space!
