S: I am Sahara Rose, a Wellness Travel Coach and Consultant and the Founder of The Travel Coach Network. I created and run the world's only ICF accredited certification program for international travel coaches and as a travel coach myself, I focus on the wellness benefits of travel for corporate wellness and business travel.

M: Where can people find you online?

S: Instagram and facebook at Sahara Rose The Travel Coach and The Travel Coach Network. Also, TheTravelCoachNetwork.com

M: I expect the concept of travel coaching is new to many listeners. There are many travel professionals and agents that listen to this podcast. Travel coaching may be something that is of interest to them. Do you have any travel planners in your coaching program right now?

S: Yes, there are travel experts of all sorts in my program and the TCN. This ranges from travel agents, tour operators, bloggers, retreat owners, life and transformation coaches, travel marketers, and even doctors! And of course, travel coaches too.

M: How is travel coaching different to travel planning?

S: Travel coaching is a broad concept. There is no one thing that travel coaches focus on across the entire board. What a travel coach helps with or does completely depends upon that person. When it comes to travel, there are endless ways to use your knowledge, love, and expertise in travel to make and impact in either the lives of others, the corporate space, or the world. Travel coaches use their specific talents and interests to help their ideal audience in their own authentic way. They are not limited to just planning and booking. Travel coaches also go the depth to providing actual transformative experiences depending on what their ideal client wants and needs.

M: How can adding a Travel Coaching certification to a person's skillset compliment what they officially offer their clients?

S: The Travel Coach Certification adds that deeper layer of connecting to and understanding clients on a more personal level. It's more than knowing what kind of food that they like to eat most or where they like 3 or 5 star hotels. Travel coach training gives a well-rounded approach to coaching integrating what you know and love most about travel as the expert. It is also a way to stand out in a very competitive market and the program teaches experts how to become leaders in the future of travel and travel trends.

M: For travelers listening what can they gain by working with a travel coach?

S: Since every travel coach is different, the outcomes or results when working with a travel coach varies. This can be anything from mom's want to learn how to travel better and more effectively with their children to reshaping the business travel world to helping people with a specific disability have the experiences that they always wanted. Consumers seek travel coaches who they best relate to or who have had transformations that they want.

M: What does training look like?

S: The Travel Coach Certification Program is a 9 module program that follows ICF's core competencies and guidelines. It is prerecorded videos and written copy (because everyone learns differently!) Members have lifetime access to the program. There are two monthly live trainings available to replay if they can't attend. Those hours go towards their hours of completion. In addition to coaching it's training on building and scaling a travel business. I teach industry insights, marketing, niching, scaling, revenue streams, mindset, media, and more.

M: How long does it typically take?

S: The modules are dripped out over 3 months but the members can go at their own pace and have lifetime access. There is no start and end date.

About Judy Yirsa

Founder/Owner

Hello!

My name is Judy Yirsa. I am the founder of St. Christopher Mission Travel. I created this firm to impart my joy of traveling with others. My love of travel began as a young girl when I would take exciting trips with my family to visit my grandparents in Zacatecas, Mexico. Each trip was a wonderful mix of history and religious lessons, a long thrilling car or bus rides to grand Catholic Cathedrals, Monasteries or smaller chapels, museums and other attractions. On route we would explore colorful little towns and bustling cities filled with lively music and truly delicious local cuisine.  My grandparent's excitement to show off their homeland made them the absolute best tour guides! 

My zeal for travel grew even more after college when I went to Europe for the first time as an Au-Pair (fancy word for Nanny).  I was fortunate enough to visit Switzerland, France, Italy and Germany. I was hooked instantly! Each country had its own unique charm, culture, artistic expression, architecture, music, language and delectable food. I was anxious to take it all in and before I knew it my trip was over and I was back in the states dreaming of my next rendezvous with Europe.

I had the opportunity to return to Italy for my Honeymoon in 2012!  It is difficult to put into words exactly how fantastic our trip was. The hotels were all magnificently located and wonderfully charming! St. Peter's Basilica was breathtaking and the other Churches were equally awe-inspiring! We became obsessed with authentic Italian food and their regional wines! The museums and amount of historical elements were stunningly extensive! Not a day goes by that we do not recount at least one memorable moment from that trip. Our honeymoon to Italy not only enriched our faith, but elongated our list of common interests. Who knew that we had such an affinity for history, architecture and Italian cuisine? We are constantly inspired to incorporate a lesson we learned from our trip into our daily lives. In short it was a life changing experience that has roused a great passion for travel in both of us! 

That is exactly what I wish to provide for all of my customers. A one of a kind, unforgettable experience that will awaken all of your senses and open your mind to new possibilities! So...what's your mission?

Is your mission to take your family on a fun filled cruise? Want to explore a piece of Europe? Or perhaps you are simply undecided?  Well contact me today and I will help you plan your ideal family vacation at the best possible price!
