Executive Coach Certification Programme

Never before has coaching been so important globally as a critical tool to navigate and thrive in our increasingly VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity) environment. Coaching evokes self- responsibility, accountability, self- reflection, creativity and innovation. It provides clarity of thinking and independent action, confidence, as well as supporting well- being and a deepened level of trust and connection between leaders and those in their sphere. It creates sustainable behavioural change at both an individual and cultural level in organisations.

Our Executive Coach Certification Programme (ECCP) has been designed in alignment with the competencies, standards and ethics of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and is acknowledged as part of an ICF credential application.

The programme develops coaching capability in anyone who is a leader of people, is an important pillar in creating coaching cultures in organisations and also fully equips those seeking to become an external Executive Coach – now or in the future. We provide highly experiential and practical training that can be implemented immediately. Beyond a skill set, it importantly shifts mind-sets of participants to connect and communicate differently, to recognise, respect and elicit the potential of those they encounter and facilitate outstanding outcomes as a result.
