Coaching Description:

This program is for you if you are thinking of becoming a life, relationship or executive coach or if you are in a leadership position and want to acquire better leadership/coaching skills to replace or supplement traditional management ones.

Coaches assist their clients to clarify their vision, mission, values and goals. They ask more questions, than provide direct answers, with the goal of guiding the client toward options that will maximize the likelihood of goal attainment. Coaches work from a position of strength and wellness, as opposed to deficit and illness. Coaching supplies just the right balance of support, challenge and accountability.

Our coaching program consists of three levels – Basic, Intermediate and Advanced, with each level building upon the skills of the previous one. Focus will be on active listening, powerful questions, direct communication, creating awareness, designing actions, planning and goal setting, and managing progress and accountability. The program consists of 100 hours of face-to-face instruction, practice and feedback, with 25 hours of independent study between levels.

Our approach is based on the Choice Theory®, the legendary work of Dr. William Glasser, which tells us that we have the power to affect change in our lives regardless of our circumstances and we bear personal responsibility for the choices we make.
