Coach Training – Coaches Training Institute
The Coaches Training Institute is one of the pre-eminent and longest running coach training organizations in the world. This curriculum is highly rigorous and designed to ingrain coaching competencies deeply in your being rather than in your head, so that you can be responsive in the moment to a variety of client types and needs. The courses are in-person and involve a great deal of practicing with real people and real issues. Low student/faculty ratio leads to a great deal of personalized attention and discoveries. By the time you are finished with this curriculum you will have found your own unique style and voice as a coach and feel the deep confidence that arises from that. This core curriculum is the pre-requisite for the CPCC Certification Program, which is ICF-accredited. Click here for more information.
Leadership Training – Coaches Training Institute
Emotional Intelligence competencies have been proven in research to account for more than two thirds of the success of superior managers and leaders. The Co-Active Leadership Program develops many crucial emotional intelligence competencies such as creating and leading from uncertainty and chaos, creating deep bonds and trust with others, sensing and tapping into the systemic field that influences people and results, busting through limitations of individual and collective mental models, creating with and from others, and leading with courage and conviction. These skills make the difference in both your success and fulfillment, whether you are a leader inside an organization, a leader as sole proprietor of your business, or a community leader.
