Curriculum

Each cohort spans 9 months (a pre-requisite course is required before commencing our 125+ hour coaching training). The program is structured around three intensive sessions (in-person or virtual). In the interim, participant work is comprised of weekly group touchpoints, mentor coach calls, providing coaching, receiving coaching, and partaking in relevant reading and integration.

Approach to Learning

We learn best in short bursts of modules linked to required reading, followed by time for reflection and integration. We start ‘at home’ knowing a coach needs first to know one’s self in order to do work with others. We use our well-known Self as Coach model to guide exploration through our internal landscape. We create an environment that places a premium on safety and respect, laying the groundwork for offering feedback regularly to spur growth. Our coaching labs are interspersed throughout each day, providing invaluable space for integration, practice, feedback, and reflection.

Modules, Reflections, & Integration
We have a robust required reading list that spans foundational concepts, theories, and models particularly relevant to the field of coaching. These areas span a wide range, including change theory, adult development, leadership development, neuroscience, systems thinking, team and leadership coaching, core coaching competencies, and more. During our intensive sessions, we create a rhythm that links short bursts of traditional presentations and reflection time and integrates them into practice in coaching lab sessions.

Inside-Out, Your Internal Landscape
The most essential tool a coach has is the ability to use one’s self well in the relational work of coaching. We emphasize the necessity of knowing one’s self as a coach and utilize our well-known Self as Coach model to explore and develop our internal landscape. Our model examines the areas of presence, empathy, range of feelings, boundaries and systems, embodiment, and courage.

Practice – Feedback – Practice
We know that in order to grow our capacity as coaches, we need more than theories and concepts! We learn best when we can practice in settings where we receive feedback that allows us to learn, adjust, grow, and reset. We incorporate this into our intensive sessions and all of our interim learning.

Coaching Labs
Throughout the program, coaching labs provide dynamic settings where participants can deepen their skills through real-time practice and feedback.
