9 here is what sets the center for executive coaching apart....

There are many executive coach training and executive coach certification programs. In this article, we explain some of the reasons the Center for Executive Coaching is different.

1. We focus first on coaching methods and processes that get results for clients in specific situations. Other programs emphasize theory, or a particular philosophy. We start with the pressing challenges and opportunities that leaders face, and the most effective and efficient ways to coach them through their situation.

2. To us, a coaching designation is only a starting point. It is important to have, but not sufficient for success. We go way beyond. We give you tools and methods to coach clients from start to finish, set up a successful practice, and stand apart in the field.

3. Proprietary, proven content. Other programs teach the basic coaching core competencies and generic listening skills, along with basic emotional intelligence, leadership, and psychology material that you can find in any book on the subject on Amazon. We give you content you can’t get anywhere else, based on years of testing and refining from actual work coaching clients in the field and discovering what gets results and causes clients to give referrals and invite the coach back for more work.

4. Our business development guidance is the best in the industry. Whether you are an internal or external coach, you need to position yourself to stand apart. No other program comes close to offering the marketing tools, guidance, and business development support that we do. We even review your marketing message and plan to grow your practice, and are here to discuss situations with prospective clients anytime you wish.

5. We recognize that you are probably going to want to do more than just coaching for your clients, and help you do it. Other programs assume you will only coach. However, clients also ask you to facilitate, assess, train, advise, and sometimes consult. We show you how to pivot so that you provide the solution your client expects. Our program prepares you to earn the right to be a true trusted advisor for your clients, and sit at the table with them as the highest-level strategic partner. We also guide you if you wish to write a book, speak, or undertake other projects to build your credibility as a coach and professional.

6. Personal support. You get on-one-one support whenever you need it. All you have to do is email us and we can schedule a meeting, usually within one business day. It is like having your own help desk on call for you.

7. The support is ongoing. It doesn’t end. We have members from 10 years ago who still contact us from time to time to check in and get our advice.

8. Your fellow students (we prefer to call them members) are fantastic. Top professionals from around the world join our program, so you get to learn from an amazing group of people. You can practice coaching with them and work with them to accumulate coaching hours for your ICF designation or BCC certification. Our members come from companies like Aflac, Amazon, Ancestry, Army Corps of Engineers, Ascension Health, AT&T, Bank of America, Booz Allen, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Brown University, Capital One, Caterpillar, Charles Schwab & Co., Cisco, Coca-Cola, Deloitte, Dropbox, Duke Energy, General Atomics, General Electric, Google, Harvard Business School, Inland Steel, International Red Cross, J&J, Kaiser-Permanente, Laser Spine Institute, Lexis Nexis, Macy’s, McKinsey Consulting, Microsoft, MIT, NASA, National Basketball Association (NBA), Nike, Partners Healthcare, Procter & Gamble, Ralph Lauren, Regeneron, Stryker, United Nations, UPS, US Military (all branches), and Zappos. Our members come from almost every sector and industry of the economy and from top leadership roles.

9. You get proven, practical coaching methods, processes, and toolkits that have been road tested and proven around the world, in organizations of all sizes. Our proprietary Coaching Solutions Toolkit is included in our certification program, and has become famous in the coaching community for its practical, results-driven approach to the top challenges that leaders face.

10. The program is practical. It is not academic or theoretical, although it is grounded in best practices and applied theory from psychology, neuroscience, emotional intelligence and leadership research. There is no fluff. Everything we teach is meant to be applied in the field with clients in ways that get results — whether you are an internal or external coach.

11. All of the coach training, mentoring, and support you need to feel confident and be a great coach. There are many ways in the program to practice coaching, have us review your coaching, and be mentored. We are committed to your success and we are a small program, so we can take the time and effort to do what it takes!

12. We have two decades of experience and a great track record of delighted graduates. In fact, approximately 60% of our members come to us through referrals from other members. We train both internal and external coaches.

13.The program is flexible for your busy schedule. Everyone who takes our program is busy with work, children, studies….Our program lets you study at your pace. If you have just 3-4 hours per week you can complete our distance program in 2-4 months and our ICF program in 6-8 months. There is always a way to fit our program into your schedule if you really want to become a certified executive coach. That’s why we are rated the top coaching certification program for busy professionals.

14. The program is modular so that you can choose what works for your budget. You can start with our core program. Then, if you wish, you can add the ICF mentor coaching later on. You can also add a seminar later on, all at no penalty.

15. Multiple certifications are included with our program at no additional cost. With our program, you begin by achieving executive coaching certification. From there, with just a little more work you can receive our Career Coach and Business Coach certifications. You can even create your own specialty certification by completing a research project about how your coaching programs can help leaders and up-and-coming leaders in your specific marketplace (e.g., Technology Leadership Coach, Non-Profit Leadership Coach, Healthcare Leadership Coach, Diversity & Inclusion Coach….).

16. The faculty is excellent — and all of us have successful coaching practices. Did you know that at many other coaching schools the faculty have almost no clients? Not here. Our faculty members are seasoned coaches who know how to get results for clients.

17. With our anytime admission, you can start when you want, and there is no time limit to complete the program. Other programs force you to start at a certain date. Not us. Our rolling admission lets you start when you want. We have an orientation process that gets you up to speed so you can hit the ground running and get access to all resources on your timeline. Also, you can go at your pace, without a time limit to complete the program.

18. We match you up with a pool of fellow students/members for coaching practice, and this accelerates your skills as well as paid coaching hours if you seek an ICF designation. We have a large pool of coaches who want to get their ICF designation. We match coaches up regularly so that they can work together. By working with other coaches, practice hours count as paid hours. That way, you are eligible for your ICF designation more quickly.

19. We have been helping aspiring executive, leadership, career, and business coaches be successful for almost two decades; we know what we are doing. We have been doing this a long time. We learn constantly from the market, because we also work as coaches, and we keep refining our methodologies as the market continues to evolve. We don’t want to be the biggest — just the best — at least for seasoned, highly intelligent professionals who are serious about getting results for executives, leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals, and up-and-coming talent.

THE ABOVE ARE ONLY SOME OF THE THINGS THAT SET US APART, THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT WE HELP YOU GET GREAT CLIENTS AND COACH THEM TO SUCCESS, SO THAT YOU SUCCEED, TOO – WHETHER YOU ARE AN INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL COACH

Read what our graduates say....

I have participated in well over 100 workshops and certifications in my career. The past three days working towards my certification as an Executive Coach were most definitely one of the most enjoyable and rewarding. The Center for Executive Coaching's experience, knowledge, and approach - not to mention the wealth of resources and ongoing learning opportunities provided - combined for a truly valuable experience that has, without a doubt, already made me better for those I serve in my coaching endeavors. Whether your goal is to begin your own Coaching practice or simply become better at leading and coaching those you serve, I highly recommend the Center for Executive Coaching.

I graduated from Harvard and Columbia. I learned more from the Center for Executive Coaching than I did from any professors at those schools. Great teaching and methodology!

There are a lot of executive coach educational programs out there. After significant research I selected the Center for Executive Coaching. I couldn’t be more pleased with the instruction and support provided by the CEC. And as a bonus the program attracts top caliber students from all over the world. The network one develops as a CEC graduate is second to none. I highly recommended CEC for anyone looking to build, or improve an executive coaching business.

From a wealth of business experience, the Center for Executive Coaching has created the best executive coaching training program available. As a former university professor, I know good teaching when I see it. The CEC is not just good — it is exceptional in its teaching and coaching skills. I am pleased to give the CEC my highest recommendation.

From the moment I spoke to the Center for Executive Coaching, I was totally enthused about working with them. Their no-nonsense approach cuts through to the heart of how to get results in coaching and training others. You learn what has worked and what hasn’t and most crucially the CEC lets the learner/coachee explore what is right for them. The teaching style was authentic and energizing to be around. The people attracted to The Center for Executive Coaching are top-notch, and I had one of the best cohorts of coaches I have had in a long time. I hope to continue working with the CEC, I highly recommend it.

I researched executive coach certification programs extensively. To say that I landed in one of the best offerings is an understatement. The Center for Executive Coaching's knowledge of coaching principles coupled with practical business application is outstanding. The CEC has exceptional content and focused training methods. The caliber of cohorts and extensive knowledge brought forward by the CEC is a compelling learning and growth experience that I can now apply to my coaching business.

Straightforward, relevant, and ability to make an immediate impact! These are just a few of the many benefits that come from partnering with the Center for Executive Coaching to become a well sought after resource for any business or organization wanting to persevere in a time of uncertainty. I can’t thank the CEC enough for the value and would encourage any person or organization to utilize and learn from their expertise!

With decades of experience at a global consulting firm, I had been coaching professionals for 10 years before joining the Center for Executive Coaching to become a Certified Executive Coach. Now, as I juggle weeks full of coaching calls, I dial in as often as possible to the classes. I usually pick up at least one fresh concept that I put immediately to use with clients. I know of nowhere better to go for a steady stream of practical coaching ideas that clients value highly.

The Center for Executive Coaching strengthened my outcomes focus in one-on-one client work. Specifically, the curriculum design provided comprehensive content and ongoing community support. Most importantly, the dedicated time in the program has already translated to immediate value for existing clients.

I had the opportunity to attend one of the Center for Executive Coaching training sessions. Of all of the executive coaching certification programs available, the Center for Executive Coaching provides the most practical training. The resources the center provides are absolutely phenomenal....I look forward to continuing to work with the Center for Executive Coaching.

I received my Executive Coaching Certification through the Center for Executive Coaching. The insights, exceptional knowledge base, and format for this program was over-the-top in content and skill-building exercises. I’d recommend the CEC for any professional who wishes to be on top of their game. Amazing work!

The Center for Executive Coaching runs a coaching program that sets you up for success - a melting pot of talent to practice coaching, share insights and form valuable relationships through networking. The CEC has a no-nonsense approach and cuts through all the fluff to get to concepts that bring value. If you’re looking to be a competent and confident executive coach (be it internal or external) then the CEC’s program gives you the gift of a community of practice to help you grow in your coaching journey.

I am thrilled that I chose the Center for Executive Coaching to help me launch my practice earlier this year. The CEC has built something very special. Their Certification Course was excellent - from pre-work, to session facilitation, to accessible course materials, it's obvious this course has been honed over the years to be highly engaging and effective. The more I work with clients and access the CEC's vast online library of resources, the more valuable being connected to CEC becomes. Finally, I feel fortunate to connect regularly with other coaches through the ongoing workshops. This is truly a learning community!

I had the honor of participating in the Center for Executive Coaching’s certified executive coaching program. The content was solid, the cohort was full of outstanding professionals that I learned a lot from and it was all very relevant and practical to the executive coaching profession. I also appreciated all of the tools and resources we were provided with in particular. The CEC has designed a world-class program with no fluff. I cannot recommend the program highly enough for anyone seeking to build a successful coaching practice.

Without a doubt, I can tell you that your program has made a significant difference in my coaching capabilities, delivery of consulting services, and transition into independent practice. I have learned more than I ever thought I would when I enrolled in your program. Of all the coach training programs available in the market today, I chose your program in particular because of your pragmatic style, business-oriented approach, and 'no BS' manner. Your style works for me in about 100 different ways. I am forever grateful.

I highly recommend the Center for Executive Coaching’s Executive Coaching program. The training is engaging, enjoyable, results focused and full of real-life examples. The program contains plenty of valuable resources including best-practice marketing and business development. It is a world of educational exploration. There are a lot of opportunities to exchange with like-minded individuals. Moreover, ongoing personalized support is provided. The faculty I worked with are exceptional in their teaching and coaching skills with an inspiring, direct and honest nature.

I appreciated the commitment to keeping it real to ensure we, as coaches, focus on what really matters for our current and future clients. I have no doubt, I picked the right program...to help me become a better coach.

I would recommend the Center for Executive Coaching's Certified Executive Coach training to any coach looking to expand their understanding or start off on the right foot. The training covers tactical approaches to coaching and gives participants plenty of resources and practice. I feel prepared to coach almost anyone. The teaching style is direct and honest which is a welcomed attitude in the world of coaching.

The Center for Executive Coaching’s executive coaching program balances the academics and the realities of becoming an excellent executive coach in a pragmatic, no nonsense way. The sessions are fast paced, thoughtful, and actionable leading every session or seminar to feel like an inspiring call to action. I am so glad to have signed up for the Center for Executive Coaching’s course and would encourage others to do the same without hesitation.

The Center for Executive Coaching packages and delivers an entire career-in-a-box. If you're passionate about the transformative and fulfilling nature of coaching, it gives you that as well. An extensive library of tools, excellent training, and enthusiastic support are all included in this exemplary program. Out of the range of ICF training available, the Center for Executive Coaching is the clear leader and I'd recommend it without reservation to anyone who wants to be an exceptional coach!

I recently completed the Center for Executive Coaching's Executive Coach certification program and couldn't be more satisfied. The program is very straightforward and pragmatic, and the trainers are readily available if any students need help in their executive coaching journey. The program also provides a significant volume of proven content and tools to participants that helps ensure their success. The caliber of the participants was also very high, which enabled deeper learning through peer coaching. I highly recommend the Center for Executive Coaching.

As a recent graduate of The Center for Executive Coaching (CEC) Program I wanted to share my AMAZING experience with you. First and foremost, the content is real world tested and is proven to get practical results. The faculty care deeply about your success and you can feel and see it through the approach and direct access to them. The CEC coaching methodologies and toolkits are truly best-in-class, well organized and simple to follow. I attended the 3 day on-line seminar which was extremely well run with a clear agenda, diligent timing and great content. While the seminar included both lecture and peer practice, the majority of the time was spent practicing with peers which was intense, but very beneficial. The seminar was full of seasoned professionals that were focused, engaged and professional. All of the content is on-line as well with recorded webinars, PPT slides, scripts, etc. so you can engage more deeply as you wish. The program not only addresses how to be a best-in-class coach, but also helps you with how to build a “coaching practice” with marketing and business development assistance – very helpful and unique.

I highly recommend the Center for Executive Coaching. After months of research and exploring all of the available options on the market, the Center for Executive Coaching really stood out because of its professionalism, ease of access, coaching opportunities, and long-term focus on professional development. From the moment you press "sign-up," you get access to a seemingly unlimited supply of resources including live and recorded webinars, a hard copy textbook, and ready made coaching solutions. The seminar was also invaluable in establishing a firm foundation of what it takes to be a coach and well worth the additional investment.
