What people say about our life coach training programme and the process we work with..

The following is only a small sampling of the many testimonials we received from life coaching students, book readers and course participants.

I had wanted to do Anne's course for a very long time after I read her books and "bells" went off in my head. I was finally in a position to do so this year and it was the best decision I have ever made. Whilst learning to be a Life Coach, you are on an inner discovery journey about yourself, and so many things change for you personally, and what a fabulous tool that is when you begin to teach other people, you can then bring a true knowledge and understanding to your clients.

My best description for this process is that I feel the pieces of the Jigsaw that is me and were scattered and not fitting together, are now sliding back into place smoothly, fitting together as I learn more and more. I highly recommend this course and the wonderful Anne Hartley to anyone who wishes to be a coach or just for personal growth.

I’d like to thank you Anne, for providing such an inspiring, detailed and all-encompassing approach to Life Coaching. Your Heart Process is such a strong foundation for the work we do as coaches, as well as being such a great guide for our own personal journeys.

I have really enjoyed your coach training Classes and loved the fact that they are tele-classes, so I could dial in from anywhere.
Thanks again.

The course was fun, life changing and challenging at times. When you live by what Anne teaches Life flows so easily.

I now so get that being a victim serves no one especially me and that it is only ego that creates our pain. My life coaching and search for a deeper meaning to life has been a blessing and puts me in a space of acceptance and understanding.
Kerrie Butler, Sydney



When I started my life coach training with Anne I thought I knew myself pretty well during the course I accessed information about myself at an unexpected deep level. The processes are practical, and although they are simple to apply they can reach incredible depth if needed.

Anne’s openness, integrity and genuine heartfelt care for her coaching students allowed me go to access greater depth of knowledge about myself and life coaching. I am confident that the skills I have learnt are of great benefit to anyone wanting to change their life circumstances or gain greater understanding of themselves.

Anne’s depth of knowledge and professionalism is unsurpassed. A woman of wisdom, depth of knowledge, integrity with an open heart, she is an asset to all who meet her.

Thank you Anne.

Having trained under Anne as a Life Coach, I can testify that putting what I have learnt in this course into practice, has impacted my life enormously. I have learnt to know myself more clearly, why I behave in a certain way, how I interpret situations, why I react in a certain way, my internal dialogue, the way I prepare myself for difficult situations, all through the lens of Love the Life You Live and who I am as a person.

I have seen that change come about through the choices I make freely, not through outside pressures, or expectations of others, for that creates internal conflict, but by the day-by-day decisions and by demonstrating who I am, i.e. my authentic self.

My journey is a continuing one, and I would encourage anyone who is prepared to do a little work looking within, to join me on that journey.

Anne’s Ten Step Process of Life Coaching came to me at exactly the right time in my life. I have found that working with the values and beliefs has been immensely empowering for me. I am not someone who can start with a goal and work towards it in a linear fashion. The Ten Step Process is inspiring and has led to amazing “Aha!” moments constantly as I finally find my true self and capabilities. Clients have expressed enthusiastically to me that working with this process has enabled them to overcome hurdles and obstacles in their life even from the very first session. I would strongly recommend this process to anyone who wants to improve the quality of their life, to achieve their dreams (whether they know what they are or not) and find happiness.

To be trained under the guidance of Anne is to enter into a life-changing process of personal growth. It is evident from the first meetings with Anne that one is getting in touch with the most profound yet practical of teachings available to would be coaches.

Anne has developed a most useful ten-step process for empowering people that she has honed through her own trials and tribulations. Anne never prescribes any wisdom or lessons that she herself has not mastered.

The coaching training model is comprehensive and structured, equipping the trainee with a core curriculum of cutting-edge exercises and tools. Anne has fine-tuned a very original approach that works because in a short time period I have confronted myself with the ten-step challenges and made significant changes in my daily habits.

Anne's style is simple and direct yet based on universal wisdom translated into a workable format. Her training process is fun and supportive keeping a good balance between theory and practice staying loyal to her values model.

I can highly recommend Anne as a mentor, coach and coach of coaches. Anne is generous with her secrets and I am grateful to have crossed paths with someone who is making an enormous contribution to change lives in a dramatic way.

My own Life Coaching career arose from being a client of Anne Hartley’s. After spending years studying personal development I was looking for more and certainly found it with Anne’s 10 Step Life Coaching process. The process is simple, concise and so effective. Confronting all the steps and working with my own values has empowered me in every aspect of my life. Anne is a seriously committed coach, and trainer. Drawing from her incredible life journey she shares her wisdom and guides whether it be a client or a student in the direction of their dreams. The accredited Life Coach training is thorough, and balanced between hands on and theory. I enjoyed the course immensely, and became especially passionate about the time allowed for questions and discussion. I also found it was invaluable to be trained by someone who is actually working in the field at the time. I would highly recommend Anne as a coach or as a trainer of trainers. I would also like to thank her personally for all the books she has written. They are brilliant.

The Hart Life Coaching course was very helpful for me in that I was forced to dig deeper into the teachings and content of what Anne was saying in her books and workbook. Having homework to do was a good discipline in the midst of my busy life. I found Anne very knowledgeable about life coaching and what she said was very helpful and supportive.
Al Gentleman, Perth

I feel very confident about the course we are doing with you. I enjoy it immensely and it has made a difference to my own life already. Initially I was very concerned about Certificate 1V accreditation but it is not an issue given the wonderful value and worth of your course. I appreciate all you do – and thank you!
Michelle Kandiliotis, Adelaide

I find the teleconferencing very effective, you don't have to leave the comforts of your own home to be involved in a class (which I love!) and it feels as though you are all somehow in the same space anyway eventhough so far apart in distance.

Being a lover of freedom, it's also great that i am able to travel anywhere within Oz or even when home in NZ and know that i am still able to commit to the call weekly, wherever Iam.
Leanne Morton, Cairns

I think the teleconference facility is easy and effective. You are the ultimate professional in the way that you manage the sessions and the data.

I completed the Life Coaching course in 2007. It was important to me to invest my time with the right course. I found that Certificate IV accreditation was one of the key differences between Hart Life Coaching and others on the market. After speaking with three independent, successful life coaches in Sydney (none of whom had formal accreditation), I was comfortable to follow my gut instict and enrol with Ann. The course has provided a wonderful base and a strong foundation to commence my work with clients.
Liz Schembri, Sydney

Having never completed distance learning before, I was a little apprehensive how telephone training would ork. I need not have worried. The lecturers presented relevant, time and useful material, with positive energy and passion that was inspirational.

I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to put my skills into action through life coaching. This course has filled the gap in my quest to teach what I believe is the purpose of this life. The content of the course was very thorough. The case studies were challenging but an interesting exercise. The guest speakers were enlightening. And you Anne, came from the heart, and empowered us to go out into the world with confidence. Thank you.
Carmel Petcos, Melbourne


I would like to say thank you for your course and coaching. It has been a positive and progressive time having brought continual growth and change, and I am greateful that Hart Life coaching was a catalyst in my initiating personal breakthroughs as well as providing to direction to begin as a life coach.
Jaye Stanford, Melbourne

The Ten Steps gave me another tool to add to therapy, as I now teach my clients life skills. Doing the course brought about a great deal of positive change in my own life and the Ten Steps have worked for my clients as well. I particularly enjoyed doing a course over the telephone, it was so easy and saved me so muchtime. The interaction with others, and practise coaching sessions were great.
Joann Willoughby, Farley Hypnotherapist / Reiki Master / Accredited Life Coach, Sydney

I would like to personally thank you from the bottom of my heart because your vision and passion for life coaching has encouraged people like myself to follow in your footsteps. Reading your books has given me a greater understanding of the importance of listening to your heart rather than your head. I know year head is useful for many a think but if you didn’t listen to your heart there would be no passion.
Sue Phillips, Queensland


I really appreciated seeing how you used focused questions relating to the method, particularly those magical being and having values. To see your client see a way forward was truly inspiring. I was able to draw on it with a client and get a great result. It's such a buzz. The course has been great.
