Bring best practice executive & leadership coach training to your internal coaching group

In-person training, distance learning, train-the-trainer…all from an ICF accredited ACTP with a practical program that emphasizes results and focuses on solutions, impact, and value.

As coaching continues to grow as a profession, the expectations of your internal clients grows. 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 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 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, Kaiser-Permanente, Ascension Health, Glazers, New York Life, Cisco, the NBA, and Valassis have come to us for coach training. We invite you to do the same.

Content is customized to your needs and can include:

• Foundations of coaching: key coaching conversations, the coaching process, setting scope and boundaries, establishing coachability, assessing the client, tracking progress and results, defining success, following up.
   
• Behavioral coaching: making one leadership behavior a habit, or eliminating a behavioral blind spot, in order to improve performance.
   
• Perceptual coaching: reframing a limiting belief or perception that might be hurting a leader’s ability to build relationships or get results.
   
• Situational coaching: We provide a library of coaching methodologies covering the most pressing challenges that leaders and managers face. Examples include coaching the client to: engage and mobilizing employees, manage up, build one’s powerbase of professional relationships, lead change, develop a succession planning, think strategically, think comprehensively about complex issues, resolve conflict, communicate simply and powerfully, influence with impact, overcome resistance to an idea, enjoy success in a new role, overcome overwhelm due to multiple demands on time, develop leaders and gain leverage, get grounded and gain clarity via the leader’s dashboard, career planning, develop a personal brand, create a development plan, execute and move things forward effectively, create a high-performance culture, and build high-performance teams.
   
• Create coaching proprietary frameworks and methodologies that can become part of your internal coaching programs
