We know coaching certification is a major commitment but coaching skills are essential for every leader’s toolkit. That’s why we’ve created Coaching Essentials, where you’ll learn core coaching skills that you can start using immediately.
This program provides an ideal opportunity to study and learn the application of foundational coaching skills without the commitment of a full certification program. If you decide to pursue certification, you can apply both your Coaching Essentials training hours and tuition toward the Coaching For Transformation or Advanced Coach Training programs.
Coaching Essentials is highly experiential, packed with activities, demonstrations, plenty of practice, and feedback.
This program is led by coach trainers with extensive experience in culturally aware coaching. Their experience includes:
- Supporting personal and organizational transformation
- Building on the assets and addressing the challenges faced by people of different cultures
- Developing non-profit and social justice leaders
- Integrating body, mind and spirit
- Building vibrant, healthy communities
Using a holistic approach, you’ll integrate body, mind and spirit, to empower people to be the change they want to see in the world. As a coach, you’ll support cultural respect and help clients access their inner wisdom and creativity.
