Part 1: Close Up Radio Spotlights Drs. Simon & Trish Presland of Aim Higher

Clinton Township, MI – Drs. Simon and Trish Presland are the founders of Aim Higher Professional Life Coach Certification, an ICF-accredited, Christian-based life coach certification company that combines sound Christian faith, strong coaching competencies and solid business practices.

“We teach, train, and equip people to be life coaches from a biblical perspective,” says Trish.

The Preslands first met while working on a book, and soon found they had many common interests.

When their home church, Evangel Christian Church, wanted to expand its state licensed and accredited Bible college to include a counseling program, they immediately agreed to oversee it as deans. They developed a Christian Counseling Institute, where they taught their 3-year curriculum. They also developed and taught customized workshops targeting specific areas for growth such as communication, conflict transformation, healthy identity, and belief systems.

When the Preslands realized that life coaching would be the next avenue for pastors and leaders of all ministerial and professional levels to move into, they decided to obtain their ICF credentials, the gold standard of coaching.

Five years ago, they developed Aim Higher Professional Life Coach Certification, a 60-hour program supported by Scripture that meets ACSTH standards to train individuals in the ICF core competencies, equip them with assessments and other coaching tools, and teach on coaching-related topics.

“Faith is the foundation of our lives and of life in general,” says Simon. “Faith enhances the coaching process. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us to trust in the Lord with all of your heart, and acknowledge him in all of your ways, knowing that he will direct your paths.”
