Our Approach

B

y exploring, experiencing, and rigorously practicing Integral Coaching®, our students develop skills, capabilities and ways of being that enable them to immediately and effectively coach in their respective fields of work. Whether participants have never coached or been coached, or are experienced long-time coaching veterans, profound skills are built, enhanced, and sustained.

Our approach to teaching Integral Coaching® is unique and powerful. We model the coaching relationship in every aspect of the curriculum so that participants learn by what we do and how we are with each of them as human beings versus just learning about coaching by what we teach.

Live coaching occurs in all of our classes to model and 'make real' the method we teach. We observe participants coaching each other and provide direct input into the skills they are developing while practicing our Integral Coaching® method. International Coach Federation core competencies are embedded in every day of our extensive curriculum and Integral Theory and Practice is incorporated into all of our Module architecture.

We have articulated a step-by-step process for Integral Coaching® that demystifies this discipline and breaks it down into components that can be learned and integrated. This step-by-step process and related practices enable our certified coaches to develop skills that are sustainable and embodied. The Modules are rigorous while also providing room for the trial and error necessary for learning. Beginner's Mind is encouraged.

Our Student Experience

O

ur world-renowned training program, the ICF accredited Integral Coaching® Certification Program (Module 1, Module 2 and Module 3), takes participants on profound journeys into the realm of human development. We deeply respect participants who authentically engage in their personal and professional development towards becoming a certified Integral Coach™. We value the skills and backgrounds each person uniquely brings. We firmly believe in the power of rigorous coaching coupled with compassionate understanding.

Students in our programs receive coaching (from each other and faculty members) so that they can be on the 'receiving end' of this powerful method while they also practice Integral Coaching® with each other and volunteer clients over time. They progressively develop core coaching competencies as they practice and are supported over the duration of the program. Initially, students cognitively understand adult change principles, our coaching method and the Integral lenses used in this approach. Through practice and customized development, their understanding becomes fully embodied as they develop "self-as-instrument."

Our Training Modules meticulously build excellent coaching skills, human development knowledge, Integral understanding, personal self-awareness and efficacy, and skillful compassion. We enable coaches to integrate this method and fully embody Integral Coaching® as they build their own successful coaching businesses (or transform their existing coaching work) or apply this method to other ventures within organizations or entrepreneurial endeavours.

Please see our Resource Page for comments from graduates of our Certification Program. The words of our graduates will give you an immediate 'feel' for our coaching school and the impact that our training can have.
