For Internal Coaches and Coaching Groups:
Top Organizations Rely on the Center for Executive Coaching for Executive Coach Certification for their Internal Coaches and Internal Coaching Groups

Learn more about our programs
As coaching continues to grow as a profession, the expectations of your internal clients grow, too. They demand results from coaching. They will not tolerate coaches – internal or external – that do not get results, that use jargon, that do not have a clear path to results, that are what we call “light weight.” This is even more important for your internal coaches.
We would argue that it is harder, and yet more important, for internal coaches to build credibility in an organization. You have only one audience, and you have to get it right. You need practical, powerful coaching methodologies that have impact, build relationships, and gain credibility.
Unfortunately, most internal coaching training programs – even many approved by the International Coach Federation (ICF) – do not do the job.
The Center for Executive Coaching is different. We are an accredited ACTP with the ICF, and we go far beyond the ICF’s stringent requirements. That’s because we focus not just on coaching competencies, but on what executive- and leadership-level clients expect from a credible coaching professional. Everything we teach is focused on getting results, having impact, and addressing the most pressing challenges that executives, leaders, managers, and up-and-coming talent face. Our approach to internal coaching is practical and results-oriented, without the fluff, jargon, and academic theory that cause so many executives and managers to get impatient and roll their eyes. You receive instant access to toolkits, methodologies, and approaches that you can put to work right away to solve pressing problems for your internal clients, get results, and continue to enhance your credibility.
Note that our content can also be easily adapted to applied leadership development solutions that combine training, peer support, group coaching, as with leadership academy/university models for high-potential managers.

For this reason, professionals from organizations including Aflac, Macys, Fedex, Microsoft, Nvidia, Kaiser-Permanente, Ascension Health, New York Life, Cisco, Coca-Cola, various branches of the US Department of Defense and US Military, the NBA, University of Florida, UPS, and dozens more have come to us for coach training.

We have also trained entire internal coaching groups for organizations, including:

  • A hedge fund with offices in seven countries.
  • A leading pharmaceutical/life sciences company.
  • One of the largest logistics and transportation/delivery companies in the world.
  • A publicly-traded technology company specializing in cyber security.
  • A healthcare delivery system with almost 10,000 employees.
  • A global civil engineering firm.
  • A leading Software as a Service (SaaS) technology company.

We invite you to train your internal coaching group through the Center for Executive Coaching. We can train you, and also offer a train-the-trainer program.
