Richard Canfield (speaking for/at the Nelson Nash Institute council) reports a recent spike in applications to become authorized practitioners and describes steps for new applicants: interview/approval, payment of initial fees, and mandatory attendance at a first coaching academy within the first 12 months. He notes multiple coaching academies have run and characterizes current attendance growth as elevated—almost exponential.

At the council we've been talking about this now for two years and being able to implement some direction how we can add more value, more education to our practitioner community and also a lot of the new people coming in. In the last year, year and a half, there's been a pretty good spike and increase in applications that the Nelson Nash Institute has received for people to go through the interview process to see if they can join the practitioner body, become an authorized practitioner. Anyone who joins the Nelson Nash Institute and is approved, they go through the interview process, they get their check mark, they're able to get started, they pay their initial fees. They their initial fee is also going to include access to the first coaching academy. They have to attend one in the very first 12 months which is hugely impactful. We've had a number of people attend, a couple back to back ones and we're seeing from your perspective of mine, we've had these conversations one on one. I would say we're seeing an elevated, almost an exponential growth in those individuals who are attending that.
