Support Beyond Your Certification
At the Center for Executive Coaching (CEC), your success as a coach doesn’t end at certification. It begins there. We believe ongoing support is essential to becoming a great executive coach, building a sustainable practice, and staying connected to the evolving coaching profession. That’s why we offer a robust, ever-evolving member support experience that stays with you every step of the way—from your first live session to years after you graduate.
The CEC Difference:
Direct. Practical. Powerful.
"Everything we do is grounded in the best practices and applied research based on neuroscience, emotional intelligence, psychology, and research from top business schools about leadership and management."
How we support your Executive Coaching Journey
Support at CEC doesn’t stop at certification, it deepens. Unlike other programs that hand you a certificate and move on, we surround you with real-time, real-world guidance from practicing coaches, live webinars, and an evolving library of tools—so you're never on your own, no matter where you are in your coaching journey.
Learn from the best in the business.
