Professional Coach Training Program

This professional coach training program is designed for leaders building thriving, supportive team cultures.

It has been developed to help leaders:

• Shift from doubt to confidence
• Eliminate bottlenecks and foster shared ownership
• Move from top-down control and lead with trust and empowerment

We challenge traditional coaching models by embedding critical self-reflection, social and systemic awareness as core competencies – not add-ons.

With over a decade of experience training 1,000+ leaders and managers, this live, online cohort-based program combines personal growth, practical coaching skills, and real-world practice to create lasting change.

Level 1: Foundations of Coaching

The Foundations level lays the essential groundwork for incorporating a coach-like approach into your leadership practice.

This program is ideal for leaders and managers who want to enhance how they support and develop their teams, without needing to become certified coaches. The Foundations program is a pre-requisite for the Advanced program.

Modules

• Module 1: Foundations of Coaching
• Module 2: The Journey of a Coachee
• Module 3: Core Coaching Skills
• Module 4: Coaching for Equity & Inclusion

Five live, interactive Integration Sessions

Between each module, integration sessions offer a chance to pause, reflect, and apply—where participants share what’s working, talk through real challenges, and receive feedback on their coaching from peers and facilitators alike.

Level 2: Advanced Coach Training

The Advanced level — available to graduates of the Foundations level — offers deeper learning and prepares participants to become certified coaches through the International Coaching Federation (ICF).

This level is ideal for those who want to formally integrate coaching into their professional identity—whether within their
organization or as part of a broader leadership journey.
