Our program involves three steps:
Block One – Foundations
The beginning phase focuses on synchronous learning to establish a strong coaching foundation. It includes “Foundational Coaching Skills” where students will learn coaching basics, practice models, techniques, and skills, enhancing coaching awareness and mindset. This block is mostly synchronous, with some asynchronous work.
Block Two – Core Comp Intensive
This is where we turn the corner into a coach training deep dive, creating more advanced coaching skills and awareness. You will take three synchronous trainings:
Core Comps One, Two, and Three. You will begin partner coaching on a regular basis, get coached by an ICF PCC level coach, and join our Mindful Masterclasses.
Block Three – Mentor Coaching and Practicum Intensive
Our final block is designed to prepare you for professional coaching. This block is mostly asynchronous work – allowing you to fit this training into your life. You will work one-on-one with a mentor coach to review your coaching sessions (meeting ICF ACC requirements for testing) and receive feedback. You will complete coaching hours and practice all while continuing to get support through our monthly Mindful Masterclasses.
We train and certify coaches, making sure you’ve got all you need to strengthen and/or build a career you love.
