After closing my online school,
Valentina
MCP Certification
I found myself, a year later, feeling completely disjointed and in search of myself.
“
Now, it feels like my whole life has been a preparation for MCP Coaching Certification,” says Valentina. “It's all been a kind of springboard.
What did you do professionally before MCP Coaching Certification?
I ran an info business, an online school for remote professionals, for six and a half years. I closed it in 2020. I was in a kind of suspended state for a year before obtaining the MCP Coaching Certification.
How did your coaching practice come together?
I took on my first three paying clients in April. I worked with one of them for a year. At the same time, I also launched my first coaching intensive.
In November, I took on eight more clients with renewed vigour. Six of them went on to establish their own long-term practices.
Since I used to own a large online school, I know everything about launches. I understand how the product author feels and all the potential potholes and crises. I underestimated the experts. I really enjoy bringing entrepreneurs and experts into harmony.

By the end of the program, I had done about 130 client sessions and paid off my studies.
What changes have you experienced since MCP Coaching Certification?
I found the case, if not of a lifetime, then of at least five years.
Coaching and working with clients is something I must do.

How does this change in thinking feel?
It feels like the gears are grinding and something new is lining up in my brain. It’s like discovering some kind of superpower in myself.
The moment I see that I’m glitching or deceiving myself, my thinking shifts. I redirect my brain, find another thought, and reshape myself to identify alternatives. Based on that, I choose what serves me, my goals, and my values.

Do you have anything to say to other MCP Coaching Certification participants who look at you and think they can’t do the same?
I’m a person, too. I felt that I wasn’t being the product of my product. But I was fortunate to have a personal coach who helped me turn this thought around.
I’ll share a personal story. I jumped from a 69-metre bungee this summer. I get there, I’m standing there. I’m scared. I can’t do it! And the instructor asks me, "How many more times are you going to come here? I can see that you need to do this. How many more times are you willing to come here?"
After the second attempt, I did it.
It’s the same thing with MCP Coaching Certification. How long will you wait to start? You’re already here and still feel compelled time after time.
