Learn the foundation of professional life coaching — also called Life MAP Coaching — and develop a deep sense of understanding about yourself, as well as others, in designing purposeful blueprints for living that align with your skills, strengths, values, visions, and missions.

BlueRio’s IA Coaching Model™ draws on theories and practical applications from strengths-based development, positive psychology, Interpersonal Neurobiology, and branding to help support professionals and coaches uncover a client’s best possible self. It also sheds light on strategies and tools to help clients map out their lives with purpose, authenticity, and accountability.

Life MAP Coaching lays a foundation for clients to design sustainable lives based on identifying purpose and aligning with their values and skills. It’s also about deepening their ability to manage life’s ebbs and flows with assertiveness and confidence. This training has been developed to meet all core competencies required by the Center for Credentialing and Education for those who wish to earn an additional designation as a Board Certified Coach. This is not a mandatory path — though many choose to pursue it.

Bonus and Benefits

Enrollment gets you far more than a certificate on the wall — it’s ongoing support designed to set you up for real success with real clients.

You’ll walk away with two private, one-on-one coaching sessions with an instructor or Teacher’s Assistant, scheduled after graduation, so you can workshop real questions once you’ve had time to put your training into practice. You’ll also gain access to ready-to-use templates and tools, giving you a running start with clients rather than a blank page. (NO extra Charge) AND a no-charge repository of resources for preparing for the BCC exam. 

Your certification is yours to keep — there are no recertification fees.  You’ll receive a digital certificate upon completion, with a paper copy available on request, and this training also counts toward Approved Training Hours for the Center for Credentialing and Education’s Board Certified Coach (BCC) exam, should you choose to pursue that additional designation down the road.

We know life doesn’t pause for a syllabus, so training is available self-paced, hybrid, or live/on-site, with up to nine months of portal access to move at the pace that works for you. And because we’re confident in the value of this program, you can start risk-free: a 14-day trial period gives you a full refund if it’s not the right fit.

What Life Map Coaching Gives Your Clients

The benefits of this training extend beyond you — they reach every client you go on to serve. Life Map Coaching gives clients a structured, supportive process for identifying what matters most to them and building a realistic plan to get there. Rather than generic advice, clients walk away with a personalized blueprint grounded in their own strengths, values, and goals — one they helped build and can actually follow.

Through this process, clients gain clarity on their purpose and direction, a stronger sense of self-awareness, and practical tools to navigate change, setbacks, and everyday stress with more confidence. It’s a foundation for sustainable growth: not a quick fix, but a way of approaching life’s ongoing ebbs and flows with intention and resilience.
