IDOL Courses Academy is the best! IDOL Courses Academy is the best! This was EXACTLY the practical training that I needed to transition from a Consultant to an ID. The mentor sessions and coach feedback are impactful. The course library is in-depth and has everything you could possibly need to become an ID with no previous training. I am so grateful to IDOL for helping me make the transition. Having a community of people to reach out to for support and education has been key to my success. Thank you Dr. Robin!

This is what I needed This is what I needed, the way I need it. Organized but not rigid; friendly and empathetic, while all about realistic business results. Some of the training is very formal and demanding, and some is social and fun...in two weeks, I've moved past the "overwhelming" phase and am able to make judgments about what to learn next.
