Student Praise
We have been blessed with the smartest and most savvy students on the planet. They make our job easy. Read below to see what our students said about what their experience was like working with us on their journey to becoming a Certified OBM®
INTERESTED? SCROLL ON!
"Enrolling in this program has been hands down, the best decision I have ever made for my busines."
I have been in business for more than a decade and I LOVE the work I do. Until recently, I referred to myself as a virtual assistant despite my natural inclination to function more as a partner with my clients. To say that enrolling in this program has been hands down, the best decision I have ever made for my business would be the understatement of the year. I feel more equipped to OWN MY ROLE as an OBM than I thought possible before this training. It has truly been transformational! In fact, one of my current VA clients hired me as his OBM before I even completed my certification. My only regret is that I didn't take this plunge much, much sooner! Thank you, OBMI!

"I've gotten my confidence back and am excited for all the possibilities out there!"
"The education and support from team OBMI are truly bar none. I often asked what the catch was - their support and guidance was endless. I believe I would have given up without their support. And I even got my first client half way through the program and I then signed Lyft corporate soon after."
~CARRIE
"The best of the best. I know I am walking into my new venture as prepared as I could possibly be..."
"From my first phone call with the OBM team to post-certification, I've been so impressed, educated, guided and mentored by the best-of-the-best. They've been responsive, helpful and encouraging throughout the entire process and I know I'm walking into my new venture as prepared as I could possibly be due to them. As someone who is typically a skeptic, I encourage you to place your trust in the hands of the OBMI team, be a sponge and absorb everything you possibly can."
~Lindsey
"Having 2 young kids, I knew I wouldn’t fit in a classical corporate role anymore. "
"Coming from the corporate world as Project Manager, I have done couple of certifications already, but none of this can be compared with the OBM certification. The support and guidance during the program from Shar and her team (Hayley & Wade) is outstanding."
"This program not only furthered my career, it gave me the motivation and support I needed."
"My experience with the OBM Institute has been life-changing. From my initial call with Wade, I knew this certification was something I needed to pursue. The classes were straight to the point and well-executed. After certification, the business building support is priceless. Thank you OBMI!"

"I finally found what I was looking for."
"After spending 3 years in all kinds of training programs and certifications trying to find my true zone of genius, I finally found what I was looking for with the OBM Program. I was very impressed with the amount of access I had to the instructors / coaches to get my questions answered with real world experience and examples. They provided great support to build out my business so that I was able to obtain my first part-time client while still working my corporate job. The content is substantial with so many "extra's" that I have everything I need to go out and be successful in this space."
~ KIM
"Shar and Wade are there every step of the way."
"Taking this certification was the best decision that I could have made, and I call Shar and Wade my mentors, not just my trainers; they have helped me with this incredible life-changing program. They gave you the nuggets that you needed to pass certification week, and even after cert week, we still can speak with them to get questions answered, website review, or just general questions and feedback. When you have someone that feeds into you and believes in your abilities; that is a beautiful feeling! Thank you!"
"The OBMI provided me with literally everything I needed to know and more."
"The training modules gave me an enormous amount of knowledge which helped tap into my strengths to apply the acquired knowledge in my daily life with my clients. The administration and coaches were amazing! I see the benefit of the projects and mastery exercises now. The resources are brilliant! I particularly loved the laser sessions with Coach Shar, Wade and Jerika. I took away something valuable from them each time. Thanks for an amazing journey!"

"The content is targeted, relevant and useful."
"I have loved going through this training with OBMI. Despite having worked in the industry already I found the projects and cert week challenging and rewarding. I have gained so much clarity from the combination of the learning resources and the direct 1:1 time. The support team are amazing. I felt I could reach out about anything - tech, curriculum, clients - and get really thoughtful, helpful responses."
~ LUCEIDA
"By far the best decision I've made for myself this year."
"I have learned so much and continue to learn more from OBMI. The classes are concise and very well done. The information made available to students is amazing. They answer all questions and genuinely care about you as a person not as a means to make money. They WANT you to succeed! I cannot recommend a better course to take or a better company to take that course with."
"I loved the resources, the laser sessions, and the mastery projects that helped to deepen the learning."

"You will not go wrong in choosing to work with the OBM Institute team for becoming a certified OBM as well as the creation, or growth, of your OBM business! I absolutely cannot say enough good things about OBMI! From the moment I saw all that they included in the support of becoming a certified OBM (and beyond) I was hooked. It only got better from there! The OBMI team goes above and WELL BEYOND when it comes to supporting their students. Multiple weekly Q&A calls, full review of your work, 1:1 calls and support...and that's all BEFORE you even take the certification test. Once you're certified, it doesn't stop. They are there with you every step of the way in getting your OBM business up and running with clients!" While I wasn't looking to add clients to my already full plate, I did need to transition those that I had from thinking of me as a VA to now seeing me as the OBM I was and the value I was able to bring to their business. OBMI was instrumental in my ability to transition my clients. I will forever be grateful for their support, guidance, and friendship in making my entrepreneurial dreams come to life!
