FAQ
How long does certification take?
Most participants complete the certification within 11 weeks. You’ll gain immediate access to your training portal and materials upon enrollment, but the certification is built around required live sessions for coaching, practice, and discussion. These sessions are essential for mastering the material, earning your certification, and connecting with the Motivational Maps community.
Who is this program for?
This certification is designed for coaches, consultants, and internal HR or L&D professionals who want to integrate motivation science into their work. Whether you’re guiding individuals, leading teams, or developing organizational strategy, Motivational Maps gives you a measurable, practical framework to help others unlock their best performance.
How do I know if this is right for me?
If you’ve ever felt stuck, unfulfilled, or unsure why some things light you up and others drain you, this program is for you. My Life by Design helps you understand your motivators, enabling you to create a life, career, and relationships that feel authentic and energizing.
Can I start with the Adult Map Certification and upgrade later?
Yes. You can begin with the Adult Map Certification and upgrade to the Full Certification at any time. The investment you’ve already made will be applied toward the full amount.
Do I need to be ICF-certified to enroll?
No, but many participants are ICF-certified or plan to be. Motivational Maps is an ideal complement to ICF coaching principles, strengthening your ability to measure and facilitate motivation-based growth.
What if I can’t attend one of the workshops live?
Each session is designed to be immersive, interactive, and deeply personal — so live attendance is required to gain the full benefits and complete certification. However, we understand that life happens. If you need to miss a session, you’ll receive access to the session recording and key materials to review on your own. You can also connect with Akeela or your cohort before the next session to ask questions, clarify insights, and stay aligned with the group.
Will I receive ongoing support after certification?
Yes. You’ll have continued access to the private Motivational Map portal, monthly North America Mappers Meetings, and the global community of certified practitioners.
What’s the refund policy?
All enrollments are non-refundable, as each seat reserves your spot in a small, high-touch cohort. However, we understand that circumstances can change. If you’re unable to complete your session, you’ll have the option to join the next available cohort at no additional cost.
Become the person everyone turns to for clarity, performance, and purpose, powered by motivation science.
