Future MArriage Coaches
Impact Iowa’s Heroes has invested in five couples to become certified marriage coaches through the International Christian Coaching Institute (ICCI). These coaches have received training and mentorship to become certified life coaches through an extensive credentialing and development process administered by ICCI. Impact Iowa’s Heroes is now investing in these couples to receive additional training to become marriage coaches through the coaching and mentorship of Dr. Gary and Barb Rosberg in partnership with ICCI. We appreciate their commitment and are excited for them to be a future resource for Hero couples in Iowa. Here are your future Impact Iowa’s Heroes marriage coaches:
