When I finally said “yes” to my calling as a coach, I felt completely overwhelmed and had no clue where to start. Then I stumbled across Laura’s podcast and decided to listen from the very beginning. Her message that we all have a coach inside of us stirred something in me. It was exactly what I needed to take a leap of faith and join her course.
​
Looking back now, I can’t imagine where I’d be without The Greenhouse Course. It’s deeply rooted in God’s truth and packed with practical, real-life coaching tools I didn’t even know I was missing.
​
Laura’s teaching is so refreshingly real - she’s honest, engaging, and has a way of making you laugh while breaking down things that once felt complicated. The PEARL practice she teaches completely shifted how I see myself and how I coach.
​
Today, I use this tool confidently in my sessions, and it’s helping my clients in ways that truly matter. My growth as a coach wouldn’t have been possible without this course, and I’m so grateful I took that step.
​
If you feel called to help others and want both the encouragement and the tools to do it well, I can’t recommend this course enough. It’s not just another class - it’s an experience that will equip you to make a lasting difference.”

~ Coach Eve, S&S Women's Mindset Coach
FAQs
​​​​
-
Do I have enough money, time, courage, and energy to do this?
Maybe not yet. And that’s okay. But what you do have is a choice~ and the opportunity to say “yes” even while you’re still unsure. When you commit to what God is calling you to, His favor makes up the difference. He equips those He calls. You bring your “yes.” He brings the provision, peace, and power to move forward. He alone is enough... and He is for you.​​
​
-
How and when do I start?
Right after purchase! You’ll get instant access to your course dashboard to all of the course modules. In addition to the modules of online training, you get downloadable workbooks and coaching tools. You can pursue certification with Sterling and Stone by completing 20 coaching sessions and the course in its entirety. You can begin whenever you like, take your time to go through the course, and there's no pressure to finish everything based on the course access timeline. You're busy, and I get it! I will, however, encourage you to be 'in motion' so you can accomplish what you've set out to do!
​
-
I already coach or have a niche. Is this still for me?
Yes. If you've never received strong coaching foundations or want to learn how to integrate a transformational tool like the PEARL Practice into your current practice, this is for you. These tools work across all niches because they’re designed for humans... and last we checked, that’s who you’re coaching.
​
-
Would anyone actually want me to coach them?
Yes! There are people in the world right now praying for someone like you~ someone real, wise, and willing to walk with them. Your ideal clients likely aren’t your friends or family. They’re people you haven’t met yet, but they’re waiting for someone just like you to show up equipped and ready.
​
-
But what if my life feels too messy or broken to help anyone?
Welcome to the club. Your story is not disqualifying~ it’s part of your calling. The most powerful coaches are those who’ve lived through transformation and are willing to walk with others through theirs. We don’t coach from perfection. We coach from purpose, faith, and the truth that God works through the messy middle.
​
-
Is this ICF accredited?
Nope. And that’s intentional. ICF accreditation is a good fit for some career paths, but it’s not required to start coaching or to build a meaningful business. What we focus on is excellence, transformation, and biblical integration. You’ll receive a Sterling & Stone certification, align with our Code of Ethics, and receive ongoing education, support, and growth opportunities that equip you to coach with confidence.
​
-
What’s the time commitment?
Plan for 3–5 hours per week, and you can finish in about a month. This includes watching module videos, journaling, and practicing tools. Practice sessions for certification, however, require additional time and are scheduled on your own time, and can be paced however you need.
​
-
What’s the financial investment?
The full training and certification course is just $500.
You can also choose to make two payments of $250.
​
-
No hidden fees. No pressure.
Just a real invitation to say yes to your calling and let God handle the rest.​​​
