Course Roadmap for 400 Essential
400 Essential is what FLUXIFY calls an “anchor course” as it focuses on the skills that will anchor your coaching on what your clients need for results and growth. The four live sessions alternate between interactive learning sessions and are supported by coaching practice that you’ll do during week 2 and week 5.
400 Essential follows the framework used in all of FLUXIFY’s Anchor Courses. The four live sessions cover key interactive learning points and provide the framework for practice coaching on Ovida. You’ll extend your learning with on-demand video, writing assignments, coaching on your own, and coaching feedback. Explore the full 400 Essential Roadmap here:

- Weeks 1, 3, 4 and 6 are live interactive learning.
- Weeks 2 & 5 are a practice coaching exercise where you’ll coach and be coached. You’ll also receive feedback from the instructor on Ovida.
