Fast Track Life Coach Certification Online

Behavioral Health & Leadership Dynamics:
Established in 1995, Behavioral Health & Leadership Dynamics (BHLD) is a leading provider of accredited online life coaching, leadership, and management training for individuals and corporations. Based in Baltimore MD, our fast-track certification programs for individuals are ideal for anyone wishing to start a fun and rewarding career as a life coach, or those working in a "helping" profession (counselors, holistic health practitioners, social workers) who would like to incorporate life coaching into their current practice.

Helping others to succeed is a fun and rewarding career!  Working as a professional life coach gives you the freedom to choose your own hours, and to work remotely from any location you want to. Our online life coach certification programs are designed to fit with your work schedule and family life. 

Life coaches work in partnership with their client in a creative process that enables the client to discover his/her life purpose. Using cognitive behavioral techniques as the frame of reference, life coaches assist clients in setting goals that will help them to maximize their potential.

Age is not a barrier to success in this field, maturity and wisdom are as highly valued as youth and vigor. In addition, you can apply your own life/work experience to your coaching. You can even develop your own specialty in areas such as relationships, nutrition, health, career coaching among others.

Corporate Life Coaching:
Our tailored corporate coaching and consulting training programs for companies and professionals can be delivered online and onsite to front-line employees, supervisors, managers, senior personnel, executive directors, board members, and CEOs.

BHLD is accredited by the Centers for Credentialing and Education (CCE), which is a national accrediting body that aims to advance professional excellence through credentialing, assessment, and business services.

“Adding a Life Coach certification to my credentials has allowed me to attract clients who may have different needs than my nonprofit groups or my hypnotherapy clients.”
- Katha Kissman, Business Consultant

“Dr. McCraw walks the walk and talks the talk! Every segment of her program represents a “double loop” learning opportunity in that she is modeling, coaching, teaching and reinforcing all at the same time. Additionally, her style of teaching is very organic and engaging. Earning a certificate from an accredited training institute such as BHLD has enabled my work to be highly regarded by clients in all walks of life. It gives me a big boost in marketing my services.”
- Sam Kirkland, Senior Manager

"I feel I personally learned and studied as much as I would from a two to four year college but in a much shorter amount of time. The lectures were formatted in a well thought out manner to give each student personalized attention, answer our questions, share our own experiences, and interact with each other."
- Pat Holmes, Master Life Coach
