A Message from Our Founder: Fernando Hettiaydura MCC
Thank you for being here. I believe you're here with the intention of making a profound impact on yourself, those around you, and your clients. We are here to assist you as you embark on this transformative journey. Speaking of transformation, my journey in a nutshell has been one of finding purpose through overcoming adversity. Growing up in a civil war zone in Sri Lanka, I faced numerous challenges including poverty, childhood trauma, and adolescent assault. And I have been on a lifelong silent journey of healing invisible wounds of Complex PTSD to finding equilibrium, emotional bliss, and love. These experiences deepened my passion for personal and professional growth and inherently guided me to extend healing and growth to others who are on similar life journeys. Many people have been guiding lights on my path, and now, I wish to pay it forward. Through Ignite Global, Evolving Temple, and Awaken Mind Guide, I aim to create a community of practitioners and healers who are not only equipped with professional skills but are also driven by a deeper purpose to contribute to the ripple effect of healing self, human civilization, and our mother earth. Our scholarship program is one way we can make this vision a reality. Thank you for being part of the professional community of Ignite Global. Together, we can ignite a brighter future. Warm regards,
Fernando Hettiaydura MCC

I remember my long-term mentor, Benita Stafford Smith MCC, who took me under her wings as a young adult and guided me with generosity and wisdom. Every time I asked how I could repay her, she would say, “Pay it forward.” This philosophy has become a cornerstone of my values and creation of Ignite Global.
Today, I want to be a guiding light for those seeking to transform their lives through education, just as others have been for me.

Why are Ignite Programs already significantly affordable even without a scholarship?
We partnered with Wolfram Research AI, the creator of Wolfram Alpha and the Wolfram Language founded by Stephen Wolfram, specializing in computational technology which leads programs such as Mathematica to assess Ignite Global Program Fee structure in comparison with the world’s leading Global Coach Education Programs. And we found out;
Ignite Global fully ICF Accredited Coach Education Programs including all-inclusive ICF Credential Preparation Bundles are approximately 56.81% lower than the average fee of other providers.
There are two main reasons why we are able to offer our programs at significantly affordable rates:
At Ignite Global, while we do offer coach-specific professional development, it is not our primary business focus. Our main business model revolves around delivering comprehensive coaching, therapy, and wellness programs to individuals and organizations worldwide. We are passionate about sharing our powerful coaching frameworks and specialized programs with the world, ensuring they are accessible to all at an affordable fee.
