Our online intensive executive coach training and certification seminar is crafted to stand as a key moment in your professional path to a coaching career. Participants graduate from this seminar not only with newfound confidence and mastery of coaching skills but also ignited with an extraordinary blend of energy, passion, and vision for their future in executive coaching.
Just like our Core Distance Learning program, the accelerated program arms you with practical, impactful tools and strategies designed to captivate and serve your clients effectively — in less time than the self-paced program.

The member site is brimming with resources, business development tips, customizable templates, and an archive of webinar recordings, alongside perpetual one-on-one guidance.
The online delivery of this program has received acclaim and validation over the past four years, with many attendees lauding it as the most enriching professional development experience they’ve encountered. The format is not only conducive to learning but is also incredibly efficient, removing the logistical hurdles of hotel stays and travel.
