KWU has three distinct levels of trainers – Market Center Trainers, KWU Approved Trainers, and International Master Faculty Trainers.
​
Market Center Trainers
Market Center Trainers are approved locally by their Team Leader (TL). The TL is the most qualified leader to determine and assist potential trainers at the Market Center level. However, KWU does provide a recommended learning path for Market Center Trainers and certifies those who complete the curriculum.
​
KWU Approved Trainers
KWU Approved Trainers are certified through KWU. Trainers at this level have the opportunity to train in any Region to which they are invited. They will be marketed on the KWU website and will be invited to faculty program events. Becoming certified means that a trainer has met KWU’s high standards and is recognized by Regional leadership for their talent as a trainer. It also means that KWU is confident that a trainer can deliver KWU courses in an engaging and effective environment so that the lessons can immediately be applied to associates’ businesses and lives.
​
International Master Faculty
International Master Faculty is a unique designation granted to those who have proven themselves to be exceptional trainers, icons of Keller Williams Realty, and ambassadors for KWU at the highest level. International Master Faculty trainers will be marketed on the KWU website and will be invited to faculty program events, as well as be afforded unique teaching opportunities and provide input into KWU course content.

Imagine... that you are exactly where you wanted to be in your career at this stage of your life. You have enough money to do the things that give you pleasure; you live well, enjoy time with your family and friends, and wake up invigorated to start each day. Your relationships have never been better. You love your career. You are energized and happy.
Clue 2 Coaching is about getting to exactly this happy place. It's about teaching you a different way of thinking. The one thing that differentiates people who live amazing, stratospheric lives is the way they think.
Like the Law of Gravity, there are Universal Laws of Creation that exist and impact your life whether you know it or not. One such law is that you are responsible for the results that you get in your life. Another is that the way you feel is a function of the way you think. We want you to learn how to identify which thoughts propel you and which ones defeat you. By continually reaching for better thoughts you can create significant shifts in your life. We call this trading up. Trading up teaches you to think better thoughts. Clue 2 Coaching teaches you to always be reaching for thoughts that make you feel better, release resistant thoughts and replace them with a better thought. With the Clue 2 Coaching program you are able to make monumental changes in your thinking that lead to phenomenal, life transforming results.
​
At Clue 2 Coaching we recognize that the single biggest difference between top performers and everyone else is the way they think. Clue 2 Coaching is about empowering you with the tools of deliberate thought that top performers are able to access instantly and use to drive their success. As a matter of fact, it's what they count on. Clue 2 Coaching is about supplying you with the consistent exposure to the kind of thinking that will enable you to achieve the life that you desire.
All of our student's use the Frame of Mind on-line journaling system every day. Journaling is the single most important tool in creating significant change in your life. It's the vehicle that allows you to get from where you are now to where you want to be. Clue 2 Coaching provides you with the skills of deliberate thought required to maximize your career performance.
Clue 2 Coaching teaches you that repeated thoughts lead to beliefs, and beliefs lead to expectations and expectations lead to the results you desire. Clue 2 Coaching is crystal clear about results. Results are a direct and deliberate product of what we allow our mind to focus on. Success is the result of a focussed frame of mind. Clue 2 Coaching Programs use our groundbreaking on-line, guided and secure journaling system.
The key ingredient to the coaching program is the Frame of Mind exclusive on-line guided journal system. Each week our students write in the journal about a designated theme that targets a specific aspect of your thought process. Journaling has the ability to transform your life. When you journal you confront your battles; you explore your dreams, hopes and aspirations allowing them to come to life. They become more tangible and are validated. You bring constant attention, focus and energy to your goals which accelerate the time frame in which you achieve them.
