Step Inside The Training: What Happens Inside the Certified Coach Program?
What does professional coach training actually look like?
The Certified Coach Program is where the ideas you've been exploring begin to become skills you can actually use.
Over 22 weeks, you learn how to coach, practice coaching in real conversations, receive feedback, and begin developing the professional foundation for using coaching with real clients.
Learn → Discuss → Experience
Coach training isn't designed to be passive. You learn the concepts, explore them with your trainer and classmates, and then experience what they look like in actual coaching.
Learn
Build your foundation through the Coach Training Accelerator, weekly lessons, resources, examples, and assignments.
Discuss
Bring the learning into live class, ask questions, hear different perspectives, and explore real-world application.
Experience
Coach, be coached, observe coaching, receive feedback, and put what you're learning into practice.
The Program Is Designed to Help You Become a Coach
The program develops your coaching ability and helps you begin putting that ability into professional practice.
Learn the listening, questioning, relationship-building, accountability, ethical, and coaching skills used in professional practice.
Practice coaching real people around real topics and receive feedback that helps you recognize both strengths and areas for growth.
Repetition, feedback, reflection, and real experience help coaching become increasingly natural.
Begin clarifying your niche, message, client materials, fees, systems, and approach to attracting clients.
Students Come With Different Goals
Build a Coaching Practice
Create your own professional coaching practice and work directly with clients.
Add Coaching to What You Already Do
Integrate coaching into consulting, education, HR, healthcare, ministry, wellness, or another existing profession.
Coach Inside an Organization
Apply coaching skills within leadership, management, nonprofit, organizational, or internal coaching roles.
The program supports each of these paths without requiring one definition of what “success as a coach” has to look like.
A Consistent 22-Week Learning Experience
Approximately six months of structured development.
Live class each week, depending on the week's focus.
Small cohorts create participation, familiarity, and connection.
Same day and time, same trainer, and same classmates.
Classes are live and interactive. Coaching is learned through participation, so the live experience is an important part of developing the skill.
Half the Story Is Learning. The Other Half Is Doing.
Mentoring Classes
These classes help you understand, integrate, and apply what you're learning.
Coach-the-Coach Classes
These classes are where the learning becomes real.
The Coach Training Accelerator
The Accelerator is the curriculum that supports your learning between live classes. It brings together coaching skills, professional practice, and business development in one structured sequence.
Authenticity, the coach-client relationship, vision, ideal clients, and the foundation of your practice.
Business foundations, professional systems, fees, boundaries, resources, and entrepreneurial thinking.
Deep listening, powerful questions, intuitive responses, strategy, support, action, and accountability.
Niching, visibility, credibility, client attraction, connection, and referral-building.
Bringing the coaching model together into increasingly skillful, focused, client-centered sessions.
And you have resources to help you apply what you're learning.
You are not expected to absorb every resource at once. The curriculum is designed to become something you return to as your coaching skills and professional needs develop.
Your Virtual Classroom Keeps You Connected
The learning continues throughout the week — but that doesn't mean you're learning alone.
Weekly Syllabus

Student Forum
