Our online/remote intensive executive coach training and certification seminar is designed to be a highlight of your career. Participants leave this seminar with confidence, deep skills, and an incredible sense of energy, passion, and possibility about succeeding as an executive coach.
You also get practical, powerful tools, and strategies to attract and delight clients.
The process couldn’t be easier, because you receive your Certified Executive Coach Certification upon completion of this Executive Coach Seminar. Plus, you get ongoing support after the seminar ends and full access to our Core Distance Learning Program.
Over the past five years, the online format has been tested and proven, with many participants calling it the best professional development experience of their careers. If anything, the process is more productive than an in-person seminar — without the need for hotel or travel.

I was worried about doing an intensive training course online. BUT, this was one of the most rewarding programs I’ve been part of online or in person, not only for the content and the approach, but also for the active involvement and networking.
