THE IMPACT SYSTEM IS A POWERFUL PHILOSOPHY
All human beings are designed uniquely and have the desire to make a personal impact
Each of us is born with five powers: Body, Mind, Heart, Soul, and Done (healthy boundaries)
We become powerful when we discover and integrate all parts of ourselves
All parts of our lives become better when we make ourselves better – love, home, work
When we apply our personalized "Impact System," our lives are transformed
The concepts become second nature; they are easy to learn and apply
When you learn to treat yourself with dignity and respect, you'll build an unbreakable new foundation for your life. Founder Rob DuBois and our Impact Coaches will teach you to relentlessly shred your limiting beliefs and behaviors.
In the process, you'll also learn to understand the complex interplay of the physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual aspects of your being – and life. You'll gain the power to train those unique capacities, learn to integrate them to work together, and begin a life pattern that brings your dreams to reality. Yes, you really can do it!
About Our Founder, Rob DuBois
Impact Actual and the Impact System didn’t happen by accident. They are the direct result of one man’s decades of lived experiences and, more importantly, his learning from them.
Our founder, Rob DuBois, lived a youth of indecision and lack of the ability to make things happen because of deeply ingrained and self-limiting beliefs. In short, he didn't believe good things could – or should – happen to him. That may sound familiar to you.
For Rob, in early life, the pendulum would swing between spectacular gestures for attention and approval and a darker side of addiction, self-hatred, and even suicidal thoughts. Luckily, some friends who had been through similar experiences extended helping hands and guided him out.
But what Rob realized standing on the threshold of turning around his life was that it's an ongoing process that takes ongoing work. Later, he became a U.S. Navy SEAL, raised a family, and created the Impact Coaches.
The Idea that Built Impact Actual
Rob's message to you is that you can have it all: the many pleasures and privileges of life are not mutually exclusive. You can enjoy life, experience fulfillment, and make a serious contribution.
But you need a way to get there, and that's where the Impact System comes in. Maybe you're successful at work but feeling empty about the rest of your life, or you are happy at home but stuck in your career. You deserve more than watching from the sidelines when others seem to have it all. Impact Actual coaches and courses can show you how to enjoy family, friends, and life in general – and find material success.

Impact Actual vs. Other Life Coaches: The Differences
Today, the world is flooded with life coaching companies and thousands of life coaches – most with the best of intentions. They genuinely desire to help people.
But all too often, most of those coaches view their work as a career choice. They've learned the basics, and a few theories, and apply that to their clients. But they are untested in the harsher side of life – scars, doubts, fears, and failings – and what it truly takes to turn those into victories. They are not taught to be accountable for a deep understanding of hurt people and how to come at the relationship from a place of love, compassion, and humor.
Our coaches are the opposite. Although their life experiences are vastly different, they are very much tested and proven in life. We've been fighter pilots, church leaders, financial experts, cops (AND robbers), and dancers on some of the world's most renowned stages.
Our experiences authentically connect us to our clients and what they are facing.
Need Corporate Group Training Sessions?
By addressing individual character, we train corporate groups in high-performance skills to help them become much more effective teams. Companies benefit dramatically when people think and act ethically and with a mission focus at all levels.
Our Corporate Trainers:
Engage directly with leaders and leadership groups. They focus on improving each individual's self-awareness and help build more effective relationships among team members.
Create shared experiences of mutual respect, service, and a mindset on the mission. It's a people-focused approach that achieves what too many marketing materials promise but don't deliver.
Understand and teach others that everyone is a worthwhile human being who can play a valuable role – whether corporate leaders, outside stakeholders, or team members the organization.
One of the most significant “a-ha” moments in Impact Actual corporate training sessions is where to find the solution to people problems. It requires improved respect, greater trust, and higher personal and corporate accountability, not more slogans and cheap teambuilding gimmicks.
Senior-level people and others in management often are unaware of their influence on others in the organization. Subordinates will sometimes try to get away with what they see others doing. Hiring people with the best credentials only works out if those people can work well with others, act ethically in the workplace, and lead healthy, well-adjusted lives. People problems are at the root of most corporate issues, and can be identified and solved when individual character is a priority.
Are You Already a Life Coach? Want to Step Up to Impact Actual?
If you're already a life coach or are considering becoming one, getting certified with Impact Actual is a personal game changer.
Our Impact Coaches live our philosophy and bring our practices to life – each goes through the crucible of months in our proprietary training program similar to the one our non-coach students experience: the Impact Bedrock Course and the Unchained course, just to get started.
We combine the training with Accountability Coaching with founder Rob DuBois, then add coaching fundamentals instruction with Jason Rowinski, our Director of Development. These two principals guide new Impact Coaches through everything their clients will experience in the years to come.
