About Our Process

All of our coaches undergo a rigorous talent acquisition process including: two interviews, a nationwide background check, reference screenings, and an online review and analysis to ensure their public persona matches who we interviewed.

In our history, only about 25% of the people we interview pass these standards and are approved by our corporate HR team to begin training.

Once an offer is extended to a prospective coach, they must first sign a strictly enforced NDA and confidentiality agreement to ensure the safety and privacy of the clients and families they will be working with. These agreements are extended to the coaches for a year at a time and are reviewed and renewed annually.

Our Process

The training process has proven just as rigorous as the interview process. Once our coaches are approved to begin training, they start the first part of their Positive Presence Mentor Certification Program – a proprietary 30-day intensive training.
Phase One: Proprietary 30-day intensive training
Phase One
Through this one-on-one, hands-on experience, our coaches get an in-depth understanding of our S.E.L.F. Philosophy, our coaching P.I.L.L.A.R.S., our proprietary ‘Perspective Coaching Process’ & a clear understanding of how to support their mentees the Positive Presence way.
Phase One: Proprietary 30-day intensive training
Phase Two: Mentor Shadowing
Phase Two
Upon completion of Phase 1, each of our coaches are provided a non-paying scholarship recipient from our Foundation to gain valuable field experience. Over the next 30 days (phase 2 of their certification) they are required to put in a minimum of 5 hours of online training watching client-approved session recordings. Additionally, they must be present to 5 1-hour coaching sessions conducted by current coaches for additional field training.
Phase Two: Mentor Shadowing
Phase Three: Scoring Perfect on The Exam
Phase Three
Phase 3 of our certification process requires getting 100% on our certification exam. This sometimes 2-3 hour exam includes 50 what-if scenarios presented to each coach by a corporate trainer. Each scenario has been extracted from coaching situations we’ve experienced within Positive Presence since inception. The intention of this exam is to ensure that our coaches can maintain integrity with our core-coaching principles, utilize our ‘Prospective Coaching Process’ and think on their feet to positively and proactively support each student in various scenarios.
Phase Three: Scoring Perfect on The Exam
As you can imagine, this is NOT an easy process for our coaches or our corporate training team, but we understand the importance of the lives we impact and we take every precaution necessary to make sure our coaches are ready to inspire and support their mentees. The coaches that make it past these three phases become Positive Presence certified coaches and begin coaching company wide. Our coaches are exemplary! They are passionately motivated to change the lives of the people they coach and they are dedicated to that mission through and through.
