My experience with Maria's course was a surprising one. I guess I expected success tools that just skimmed the surface or some great statistics to make me think and help me maneuver through the world. Well, wow, there is a whole lot more to it than that. Over the five days that I spent in her course we learned about and experienced concepts that reach to the core of every person, myself included. It turns out Maria's course doesn't just direct you toward success in your business or personal life. It directs you toward success at being the best human you can be and somehow, even just during those five or six days, builds within you this undeniable understanding that you fully are able to achieve the goals you've set in life. And that feeling doesn't go away, because she provides you with tools to use to keep evolving even after the course ends. The concepts in this foundational course are not difficult to grasp but they are not a walk in the park, either. There was emotional turmoil of the best kind (take her Basic Assumptions course if you want to know what I mean), tears in abundance (you don't have to cry of course but don't be surprised if you or others do), and amazement - and enjoyment - in watching Maria do her thing as a highly experienced, efficient and effective coach. If you're wondering if you'll emerge from from the chrysalis of this course a new person, all I can say is that if you want to then YES. This course can be the catalyst you've needed to effect massive change in your life. This course set me on my own accredited coach training path, because to see Maria help people in the way that she does was immensely inspiring. If you are looking for a coach training school that can help you understand yourself and others in a core way, this course would be the perfect place to start. If you're looking for leadership training to help you in the workplace or other aspects of your life, then these courses are also for you. Best wishes on your journey! read more

I am so grateful for Dr. Maria Nemeth, MCC, the Founder and Director of the Academy for Coaching Excellence (ACE) program with in-deepth training and mentorship one-on-one. Her exceptional course leaders are deeply engaged with the curriculum and life principles while creating a learning environment with compassion and purpose. As an educator for more than twenty years, I was craving to learn specific skills and tools that would be accessible to my clients allowing me to empower them to live their best lives. I was limited in supporting my students and clients with an educational framework - as a consultant only. After two years of researching Life Coaching programs, I did not find one that made me want to "go for it" with confidence. I was introduced to ACE, and immediately enrolled never looking back as it was the best program in alignment with my personal and professional goals as a certified Coach. As a former PhD candidate in my early twenties, I was aware of methodology and evidence based research when searching a program that was reputable and everyday practical to all humans. The course curriculum, structure and design was very important for me and Dr. Nemeth had a vision to integrate the learning with an ontological framework for Life Coaching to be beautiful, effective, and natural. The program has been more meaningful to me as a person and has contributed to my own life. I am excited that you are starting this incredible journey and I hope to see you in an ACE course soon! read more

I first took Maria's Mastering Life's Energies course in 2010. It was transformative. In the spring of 2021, I felt stuck in my business and knew the MLE course could help me move forward, so I took it again. Even though the sessions were presented virtually, I received the same personalized experience. I appreciate how Maria asks questions that penetrate the surface of my thinking so I can see the truth of how I'm interacting with people. To get the most out of the course requires vulnerability and courage I rarely show, but I felt safe expressing myself fully with Maria and her team. I have taken the ontological tools into my daily activities and have strengthened my relationships with friends, family, and work colleagues. Since MLE, I have taken other ACE courses and webinars with Maria. In every session, there is ample time for participants to reflect upon their lives and share their thoughts with the group. She has coached me beyond the level of my usual thinking. I have stretched my comfort level toward the point of mastering the skills required to achieve my dreams and desires. Now I'm taking Maria's Energy of Money course. It's not easy to look, see, and tell the truth about my relationship with money, but I'm making breakthroughs! I will continue to take Maria's courses and webinars as they become available and recommend them to anyone who wants to understand themselves better. read more

The very best one could possibly do for oneself personally and/or professionally, is to become a client of Academy for Coaching Excellence! Receive Coach Training or personal/professional Coaching for yourself! Dr. Maria Nemeth's Coach training program totally changed my life in the best of ways! My Coach training, starting in 2004 with subsequent certifications, continuing throughout my entire Coaching career. Up until retirement in 2020. Gratefully, my "first" retirement in 2000, was from a financial management and systems design consulting practice career of 30 years. Eventually I decided to look for something to do to give back to the community. I enrolled in a trusted source, an ICF Coach Training program a few years later. One that came highly recommended to me. Started with MLE , Mastering Life's Energies course and never looked back! :) Met and was privileged to support people around the world, though never perhaps ever physically in person. Makes absolutely no difference, in fact, most people focus much better without needing to be in person, in my opinion. What a joy, what a life's ride! Don't take my word for it, try it for yourself and see how it can be for your own life. Whether as a coaching client or as a professionally trained/certified Coach. Wishing you well and a life filled with luminosity. Nancy Laura Joseph Nan read more

I heard about Dr. Maria Nemeth back in 2008 from a client, I was not able to take a course then, but I did watch her TEDX talk. She caught my attention when she asked the simple question" would it be ok with you, if life got easier". The question stayed with me and then many years later, I had the opportunity to participate in The Energy of Money Book Study with her and her team. That class was amazing, it truly changed my relationship with money. As a certified public accountant, I've taken a lot of classes on money and investing, but never had I been introduced to the concept of relating to money as ENERGY. The idea of seeing money as a form of energy revolutionized how I see money, and my ability to earn money. Now I see that money is neither good nor bad, it's just energy. My conversations with clients about money have really shifted to a conversation of possibilities and access. The tools and principles that I learned from this class had such an impact on me, that I signed up for their coaching program. If you are willing to improve your relationship with money and want to master to tools to get you tangible results, I highly recommend that you buy the book and take the Energy of money course. read more

I have been affiliated with the Academy for Coaching Excellence (ACE) for many years first as a student and now as a mentor coach. I am extremely proud to be part of this professional and exceptional organization that encourages diversity and inclusiveness. ACE supports people in their transformation and empowers people to see the best of who they are and move forward to live the life that brings them joy. The simplicity and the power of what is taught has enabled me to focus on what has meaning for me and how I want to contribute rather than being stuck in my fears and doubts. I can't say enough to express my gratitude to Dr. Maria Nemeth, her staff and fellow coaches for enriching my life. I would highly recommend her courses to anyone without any reservation that they would learn about themselves and have skills to continue on their own and be able to take practical actions toward the life they want to lead. read more

I am so thrilled to have found this absolute gem of a coaching school! First, it's accredited, second, it's ontological, the study of being which I have been fascinated. Dr. Maria Nemeth's teachings are incredible. I started reading her work back in the 1990s Energy of Money book and then later her Mastering Life's Energies book which is chock full of practical wisdom. Last year, I took the Mastering Life's Energies workshop which expanded my knowledge even further on how to harness the energy of money, time, physical vitality, creativity, and relationships! I also took Empowering Life's Energies workshop which was great. I am now enrolled in the Coach Training Program and am excited to get certified by the Academy. It's a rigorous accredited program that will enhance my consulting services and build a great foundation for life! read more

I wish I had been able to take this course sooner. During the course, I received a wealth of knowledge that would have helped me deal with my self-doubt about my ability to succeed years ago. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking for tools to help them shift their mindset and allow themselves to become the best version of themselves. What I loved the most about attending the course was how Maria and her staff were able to foster such an amazing and supportive community within just a few days. Even after the course is completed, you will be a part of this community, which will assist you in putting the teachings into practice. You walk away from this course with a deeper understanding of yourself and the needed tools that will allow you to truly live a life with clarity, focus, ease, and grace. read more

There are so many coaching schools out there, it's hard to know which ones are going to provide a quality experience. Especially considering a career in coaching I wanted to know I was getting the best training so I could work with clients with a high level of skill and confidence. At the Academy for Coaching Excellence I not only learned a powerful method of coaching, but I had the opportunity to get mentored and develop my skill to a masterful level as I went through the program. If that wasn't enough, I also learned how to authentically enroll clients into my practice so that I know have a thriving business with clients I truly love to support! read more

I am so grateful to have found ACE for my professional coach training and also for my personal development. The program is rigorous and well-rounded; the course leaders and staff are highly knowledgeable and supportive in so many ways; the community of fellow coaches continues to be an invaluable resource. Before beginning my first course, Mastering Life's Energies, I was fairly sure that I would enjoy it. I never imagined how impactful it would be. The tools I have learned through the Academy, and continue to learn, have proved time and again to be highly effective and life-changing for my clients as well as for me. read more

I was a business coach with over 10 years of experience before I took Mastering Life's Energies (now called Academy Foundation Training). That led me to complete the Coach Training Program (CTP) and then get certified by ICF as a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) - a very prestigous 500 hour credential. I wouldn't have done any of this without Academy for Coaching Excellence. Why did I do this? The content is outstanding and life-changing. I have gained tools for myself, and also for my coaching practice. The community of people is wonderful. I am more motivated than ever to help others as I have been helped. read more

This is a kind program based on clarity, focus, ease and grace. Considered one of the top five programs in the world to become an accredited coach, I highly recommend A.C.E. and the leaders who teach are amazing! Best decision I ever made. Tanya N. read more

After taking Mastering Life's Energies course last year. My perspective has had a positive and calming change! After 2020 I felt the stress of COVID and this new lifestyle really got to me mentally. Maria is such an inspiration! She is easy to open up to and really takes her time to make sure you understand the content and if you didn't she will pause and make sure everyone was on the same page. Since MLE my daily routine really has been more graceful and focused. I will be forever be grateful for this course read more

Academy for coaching is worth every penny and time spent by taking the workshops, to be honest I skeptical. A entrepreneur friend told me to take it and understand why everyone needs to take a course like this (for your profession or personally).

Don't waste more time, just sign up and enjoy the game changing results. read more
