Course Description
*Top-Rated Udemy Instructor with 1,000,000 Students + Earn an Official Life Coach Certification*
Help clients develop self-love, self-care, and confidence and STOP self-sacrifice!
If you've been watching the news, reading the news, listening to books or on social media, any time in the 21st century, you have more than likely heard the phrase people pleaser.
I (instructor and coach Stephanie D. McKenzie) must confess to you that I am a recovering people pleaser. Yes, me right here.
However, before I became a recovering people pleaser, I was in my people pleasing seasons and my people pleasing behavior was much like that of some of your clients:
Making sure that everybody is well when you're not
Doing what was best for others and not what was best for you
Seeking external validation at a ravenous rate
Compromising your own belief systems
Working to be worthy, to be liked, to be loved, to be accepted and even to be compensated
And these are just a few of the challenges that I myself as well as my clients and your clients have and are currently facing. The reason why it's so important for us to support them as they decide to move from their people pleasing behavior into their recovery is because IT’S NOT AN EASY JOURNEY!
In this course, you will learn:
What people pleasing is, as well as the origins of these behaviors.
The similarities between people pleasing and codependency.
How to help clients develop their own self care plans
How to hold them accountable for the life and the changes that they so truly desire.
You will receive tools, including:
An assessment tool called The Pleasing Scale, to help clients identify their dominant people pleasing style.
Questions and journal prompts to help clients go deeper in understanding themselves.
Printed materials and exercises to use with your clients.
Many of you have been serving clients for quite some time and this may be just the course that you're needing to serve those clients that you have identified as people pleasing. The beauty of serving others where you have been is that you are very well acquainted with the challenges that they are going through. Coaching is an amazing opportunity for you to support those as they seek to transform their lives in new and exciting ways.
I'm very excited that you're taking this course and I look forward to the work that you're going to put into the world.

Very informative course. It dangled on the edges of secular humanism which was concerning. Yet, it did remain fairly balanced and honest. All in all definitely worth the time money and energy. I'm looking forward to helping others, by sharing these great insights.
By Rhonda Soap on 10/13/2024
The information has helped me personally wake up and move beyond in my own recovery and it is defiantly valuable to me in the line of work I do. The explanations are real and educational at the same time. Thank you for an excellent course! It is worth my money.
By Jace Devaux on 5/30/2024
Stephanie is great! Very easy to follow along. I will say, however, that she repeats herself quite a bit. I understand that repetition is a strategy to reinforce important information. But I feel that this course could have been half the length. If I don't catch something, it's my responsibility to rewatch what I missed, and not have another video repeating what I essentially already saw. All in all, great quality content. Thank you!
By Alissandra Moon on 5/2/2024
So far, so good. Easy to listen to and keeps my attention. She is a good teacher. Update-Really cant stand the AI videos scattered throughout the course,but i will persevere because the rest is SO good. Hopefully an alternative to those is on the cards- a written document or human video or even just a link to read up on the subject.

Stephanie ist eine hervorragende Trainerin und man kann den Ausführungen gut folgen. Die Inhalte sind überwiegend gut strukturiert und direkt anwendbar. Vielen Dank. Es sind einige Sequenzen/Videos rein durch KI erstellt - die sind etwas schwierig und schlecht verständlich. Hinzu kommen einige Videos, die scheinbar als Livestreams aufgezeichnet wurden und Stephanie dort mit Teilnehmern interagiert. Das bin ich so auch nicht von Schulungen auf Udemy gewohnt.
By Monika Meziani on 2/23/2024
Many valuable informations and a great way of presenting them by Stephanie. My only concern are some videos "unfinished", cut in the middle of the sentence, as well as some sounding "robotic" AI created additions being a bit disturbing...
By Emily Sylvia White on 1/28/2024
This has so much relatable information for me as a new coach and a recovering people pleaser. I love how the content is explained in a down to earth way not using terminology or common catch phrases but information born of obvious research and experience.
By Dr. Aviva Ainbinder on 12/9/2023
This course was one of the most helpful ones I have taken so far. The only reason why I took half a star off was because some of the videos were AI/voice-over (computer generated - or so it sounded). Some were recordings of Zoom/Facebook lives, which I found very disturbing because the presenter commented on what people said in the feed, and we can obviously not see that. Otherwise, loved it!

This is one of the better courses I have come across here in Udemy. Instructor Stephanie is well researched, well prepare and has true experience on the topic. I thank her for her honesty and how she introduced the topic of with such clarity, vigor, and convictions. It gave me a lot of food for thoughts as a coach and working with clients.
By Wanda D Proctor on 4/22/2023
This course has been very informative and has just confirmed and inspired me to continue the course of being the vehicle in assisting others who are actively seeking change. Content is clear and applicable. Understanding that we are in recovery was most helpful to me and i will be able to pass this on to my clients.
