Practitioner Certification

Develop yourself as a skillful coach.  You will learn creative methods for: establishing agreements, asking powerful questions, expanding perspective, moving through stuck places, designing actions, managing progress and holding clients accountable.  This program is both rigorous and fulfilling.  You will discover coaching is not just a skill it is a way of being.

The certification includes the Power of Possibility, 4 additional classes, 4 learning labs, coach advocate, peer coaching, network sessions, one-on-one coaching and a written exam. 

• Power of Possibility (pre-requisite)  This course is a foundational piece of the certification.  It is designed to not only teach the process of coaching; it is to develop key skills and methods for coaching clients at any level in the process.  This course is required before taking the certification classes.

There are four core courses as part of the certification. The classes are part education, experimentation, and personal/professional application. The following classes can be taken in any order.  Each class is offered every 4 months so if you miss it once you will have 3 other opportunities to enroll in it.

• Honor Your Interior Self is intended to teach coaches how to help clients align their inner visions, values and beliefs with their exterior world. 
• Design a Creative Environment is part of this series to teach coaches how to effectively coach a group and what skills, tools and competencies are necessary to learn and develop when group coaching.
• Integrate Creative Expression teaches students how to integrate creativity at different levels in the process to expand perspective and design more desirable results.
• Source Gifts and Talents helps coaches learn how to tap into clients discarded, unused or underused talents.  It provides unique tools and techniques to assist clients in seeing that there is not a huge leap between where they are and what they want.

Four learning labs accompany the four certification courses.  They are designed to deepen the learning.  Each session focuses on one part of the coaching education provided during the coaching courses.  Our goal is that the coaching models, tools, competencies become so natural that you don't have to think about them.
