Meet Your Trainers
Bill Tierney, Certified IFS Practioner
Bill Tierney is a Certified IFS Practitioner with advanced training from the IFS Institute. He has written four IFS coaching workbooks -True Self Leadership (2019), The Self-led Project (2021), Self-led Results (2023), and Compassionate Results Guidebook (2025). He is coauthor of the forthcoming Parts Work Guidebook (2025) and is writing his memoir Rage (2026).
Bill began coaching in 2011 while working in mortgages. In 2015, after completing Accomplishment Coaching’s Seattle program, he left that career to coach full time. The struggles of training led him to therapy, where an IFS practitioner helped him discover innate confidence through Self-energy. Drawn to the model, he began IFS training in 2019. Since becoming certified in the IFS model, Bill has continued his training, completing the IFSCA Stepping Stones program and currently participating in the Institute for Healing and Awakening IFS for Coaching program. Bill has also assisted in IFS trainings as a Program Assistant.
Bill cofounded Parts Work Practice, a free weekly IFS group which hosts half-day conferences and has now been running for nearly five years. He cohosts the True You Podcast, leads five IFS-based coaching groups - including programs for practitioners- and continues to coach individuals using his Compassionate Results framework.

For Coaches That Sense There’s Something More
The program is limited to twelve seasoned coaches who already do transformational work and are committed to expanding their impact even further. In a safe and intimate container, you will experience a profound personal transformation. You will learn how to form compassionate relationships with the “burdened” parts of yourself using the Internal Family Systems model. As you do so, you will gain more access to the resources and qualities of your highest and best Self. Expert training, supervision, and practice will enable you to integrate IFS into your coaching practice so you can model and facilitate the same transformational process for your clients.
ELEVATE is a unique program, blending the evidence-based methodology of IFS with the power and possibility of transformational coaching.
As you learn to integrate the IFS model into your coaching practice, your clients will find new freedom and power. IFS will help you:
