Develop your effectiveness as a leader. Learn how to empower others. Earn your coaching credential while tapping into your leadership potential. Our Professional Coach Training program equips leaders and professional coaches with the skills to be an effective coach, develop a coaching culture, and use a coaching approach in all aspects of leadership. In addition, this program will look at how to develop a coaching practice either internally in an organization or externally as a coaching professional.
Coaching is about getting results by bringing out the best in individuals, teams, and organizations. Coaching isn’t about fixing or solving problems; rather, coaching is a developmental or discovery-based process that promotes development and sustained results. Similar to athletic coaches, coaches further develop the skill and talent already inherent in the individuals, teams and organizations they coach.
An enormous benefit of coach training for leaders and professional coaches is that as part of the training process, leaders and professional coaches receive their own coaching. That means dedicated one-on-one time to speak openly about challenges, goals, and outcomes. It means having someone else who is committed and able to draw out the best in YOU, so you are showing up at the top of YOUR game. This is a great opportunity to have support for your own development and solidify your coaching skills at the same time!

Professional Coach Training is offered in two formats:
Online Distance Learning: Our online classes offer a high-quality, interactive learning experience using an online meeting format.

Save on travel costs and time off from work and experience training with several different faculty members in classes with students from around the world. (Some online specialty programs follow a different format than the semester system.)
On-Site/In-Person Training Events: Our on-site training allows you to complete the majority of classwork during the event.
