James Marland


Coach

I’m James Marland, the face and heart behind Course Creation Studio. Here, we believe in the power of good people doing good things as a catalyst for extraordinary change. We’re dedicated to helping those who feel called to serve others extend their impact far beyond traditional boundaries.

I love helping experts in the field, like clinicians, therapists, coaches, and consultants, create a bigger impact in the world as they develop their courses, coaching programs, or online communities.

In my free time, I love camping with friends. I still use a tent, and I am thankful for the invention of air mattresses. I also like cats, cookies, and comic books. I grew up as a nerd, and playing video games and watching Godzilla movies before being a nerd was cool. I like to spend money on collectible card games and buying technology toys that I think I will use but don't.

While I am not creating online courses, I host and Produce my own Podcast with The Scaling Therapy Practice.

Who am I, and why am I here?

Like many of you, I've navigated the challenges and celebrated the triumphs on this road to making a difference. I'm a person who’s felt the stirring to do more, to be more.

Yet, for too long, I allowed comfort, fear, and the haunting whispers of imposter syndrome to shackle me within the confines of my comfort zone.

My journey wasn’t launched from the peak of success, but from the depths of a significant life shake-up. When I lost my job, it wasn’t just my income that was stripped away, but my sense of identity. At that low point, I turned to my faith and found a new calling, not just to rebuild but to help others build pathways to their dreams.

What drives me?

I believe that within each of us lies the potential to create waves of change. It’s not about having all the answers or the perfect plan. It’s about answering the call—taking that brave first step towards something greater.

My mission here at Course Creation Studio is to make it easier for you to take that step, to break down the barriers between your vision and your ability to act on it.

How do we work?

We approach each project with a simple but powerful three-step method: Develop, Deploy, Deepen. This isn’t just a process; it’s a journey.

We start by developing your ideas into actionable plans, deploy them into the world, and then deepen our understanding through reflection and feedback.

It’s about learning as we go, improving not just our courses, but ourselves along the way.

Why take the next step?

If you’ve ever felt the pull to do more—for your community, for the world, for yourself—you’re in the right place.

Course Creation Studio isn’t just about building online courses; it’s about building up people who make a difference. It’s a community where together, hand in hand, we rise by lifting others.

BE THE HERO THEY NEED YOU TO BE

What is my mission?

This is precisely why I founded Course Creation Studio—to reclaim the narrative of my life and empower you to reshape yours. For years, I was a man driven by a deep calling, yet hindered by a mindset that made me feel like a victim of circumstance. I had to learn to step up as the hero of my own story—and now, I’m here to help you do the same. I want you to see yourself as the hero and to be the hero people need you to be.

My courses are designed to liberate you from the chains of fear and the heavy shadows of doubt cast by others’ expectations.

Together, we'll author our own stories, forging paths toward freedom and security—on our own terms. By harnessing your unique expertise, we will not only make a profound impact but also create meaningful differences in the world.

It requires dedication and perseverance, but I am confident that together, we can craft a future where you stand firmly in control of your destiny, enriched not by fleeting fortunes but by lasting contributions.

Create real impact.

I have spent two decades working with Therapists, Psychologists, Psychiatrists, and a whole host of other mental health professionals. Their mission to improve lives is also my mission. I want to help people who want to improve the world. I am convinced the therapists of the world have the experience and expert knowledge to make a lasting change in the world and create income from it.

The amount of people that online courses can help is countless. From the therapist who wants to teach other therapists how to run a group practice to the psychologist who wants to help anxious teens with tests, there is a lot we can do together. What good do you want to do? How can I help you?

WHAT'S STOPPING YOU?

If you’re ready to transform your inspiration into impact, I’m here to help. From idea to implementation, you don’t have to do it alone. Let’s start this journey together.
