During the 3-week Integrative Health Coaching (IHC) course, you’ll gain the foundational skills needed to begin working with clients as a health coach. The curriculum encompasses core coaching techniques, including active listening, goal setting, and behavior change strategies, all grounded in a client-centered, integrative approach.

You’ll receive a detailed packing list in advance. Just as important, come ready to engage fully, with curiosity, focus, and a willingness to grow through both learning and self-reflection.

Unlike traditional classroom-based leadership courses, UHP’s Leader Development Experience is fully immersive and experiential. Led by former Tier 1 special operations leaders and supported by human performance experts, our programs place leaders in physically and mentally demanding scenarios that mirror real-world decision-making under pressure. Every experience is custom-built to challenge comfort zones, build trust, and develop resilient, high-performing teams.

Our Leader Development Experiences are designed for corporate executives, senior managers, rising team leaders, and entire departments looking to elevate their performance. Whether your organization is navigating high-growth challenges, culture change, or leadership succession, this experience delivers results for those who need to lead with greater clarity, cohesion, and courage.

Every UHP experience is customized, but participants can expect a blend of outdoor team challenges, leadership simulations, reflective debriefs, and physical tasks aligned with our Think, Train, Feel, Lead framework. Depending on your package, experiences may include mountain biking, navigation challenges, airsoft missions, or helicopter-supported operations, each paired with facilitated discussions and strategy workshops designed to embed lessons into workplace application.

Impact is measured through a combination of pre-event assessments, post-experience reflection tools, and optional follow-on coaching. Teams often report improved communication, trust, and clarity in execution. We also provide organizations with qualitative feedback, observed behavioral shifts, and strategic recommendations to sustain the momentum long after the event concludes.

Your team can expect increased alignment around mission and values, stronger interpersonal trust, enhanced problem-solving under pressure, and clearer leadership communication. Many organizations use UHP experiences to unlock innovation, recalibrate team culture, accelerate executive performance, and reduce friction across functional silos.

The CNC program at UHP is a hands-on, veteran-focused course that trains students in the intersection of nutrition, culinary arts, sustainable food systems, and client coaching. It’s designed to help veterans build meaningful careers in nutrition coaching, food education, and entrepreneurship.
