Love, Magic and Perspective
Here at Transformation Academy we are excited to announce our September's Transformation Academy Rising Star – Larry Moore! Our goal with this initiative is to recognize and celebrate group membership who demonstrate the heart and service of a coach. Each monthly recipient of this recognition will be selected for a unique reason. Some will be seasoned coaches who serve as valuable mentors within the group. Others may be just starting their coach-training journey and exude a contagious attitude or passion. Others may be actively supporting other group members, whether by providing resources, answering common questions, or providing moral support. Regardless of each of our wonderful group members’ background or experience, we all benefit from the mutual support and varied perspectives offered within this diverse group! The Rising Star initiative is a way to give a special THANK YOU to those who go above and beyond to share of themselves within this community. This month we would like to recognize Larry “Komorebi” Moore for being a positive force for inspiration in the group, on Facebook and as a coach! Larry has been an active and supportive group member for 3 years! He is uplifting in his posts and comments and has been an active member. He is INSPIRING because of his contagious, optimistic and light-hearted attitude AND his powerful personal story, which you can read more about in Transformation Coaching Magazine’s August issue here: www.transformationmag.com/2021/08/its-never-too-late/.

WHAT IS YOUR NICHE (COACHING FOCUS) AND HOW DID YOU CHOOSE IT?
My current “job title” is Certified Relationship and Healthy Communication Skills Coach. I first began by taking an online course on Udemy, mostly because the topic interested me. I think it was a class on Mindfulness. It wasn’t until I took a course on the Business of Coaching that I caught “the bug” as they say. Over the following two years, I completed almost twenty more courses covering a wide range of subjects, and after every one my idea of what my ideal client (Avatar) would look like changed. It wasn’t until fairly recently that I finally narrowed my niche down
