Becoming a professional coach means being dedicated to helping people succeed. Coaches have a heartfelt desire to make a positive difference in their clients’ lives and help them overcome their own barriers by tapping into their full potential.
Becoming a great coach requires us to do work on ourselves: before helping others with their oxygen masks, we need to put ours on first. This journey not only enhances our coaching skills but also fosters personal growth, resilience, and a deeper understanding of ourselves.
Many of our students shared that becoming a coach is a transformative experience that allowed them to grow their capability to listen, empathise, connect with others at a deeper level, and develop a stronger sense of purpose and direction in their lives.
Through coaching, you can amplify your impact in catalysing self-sustainable change both in leaders and teams, unleashing undiscovered potential and allowing them to go beyond what they thought was possible.
Our coaching training is for the leaders, facilitators, HR professionals, agile coaches, and anybody who wants to spark change in others — in the workplace and beyond.
It isn’t about becoming a coach. It’s about doing the inner work to become your best self, both professionally and personally, so that you can cultivate trusting relationships, collaborate better with teams, and become the leader you want to be.
The changes you make within will catalyse change in those around you.
We have a range of educational programs that correspond with the first 2 ICF accreditation levels so that you can walk away as an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) or Professional Certified Coach (PCC), depending on the course.
Already accredited? Each module within our programs can be taken as a standalone course that counts towards your Continuing Coaching Education (CCE) hours.
Ideal for those just beginning their coaching journey, our Level 1 coaching course will give an understanding of what coaching is and how transformative it can be.
You will learn how to embody the mindset of a coach so that you can hold effective and transformational conversations with others — and help them see things with clarity so that they can make better decisions.
You will also gain the tools and resources that a professional coach draws upon to become a better listener, a better facilitator, and a better leader.
Our Level 1 coaching course contains 2 modules: Unlocking Conversations and Deepening Conversations. Complete both modules, as well as our Group Mentor Coaching, to become an ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC).
Are you ready to elevate your coaching? By the end of our Level 2 coaching training, you will have the confidence — and the competence — to handle the most challenging coaching scenarios.
You will learn to hold space with a grounded presence and to shift your coaching style to suit what is happening in the moment.
You will learn how to make impactful observations, give challenging feedback, and help your clients arrive at a heightened awareness of themselves and their situation. This will help you go deeper to shift the focus from the problem to the person in front of you.
This program will also teach you how to deal with the unique challenges that come with being a professional coach within organisations, contracting at multiple levels, dealing with complex scenarios, and partnering with people with higher power and status: executives and senior leaders.
Our Level 2 coaching course is for those who have completed a Level One program and contains 2 modules: From ACC to PCC and Coaching Leaders. Complete both modules to achieve the ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential.
We have a range of courses and workshops that will help you connect to your client at the deepest level. This isn’t about adding more tools and techniques to your repertoire. It’s about embodying what it means to be an artful coach.
Through these educational resources, you will begin to move away from doing to being, cultivating a self awareness that will deepen the impact of your coaching.
You will learn to focus on the humanity you bring to the room, to accept what happens without judgement, and to develop a grounded presence so you can hold space with grace and kindness.
Any module you complete will not only enhance your coaching practice but can go towards your ICF certification renewal by providing Continuing Coach Education (CCE) hours — and it’s available to any professional or coach.
These coaching rounds give you the chance to refine your skills through practice and constructive MCC mentor feedback – all in a safe and supportive environment.
Ready to focus on your growth at no cost?
