What makes your coach training program different?

For starters, we do not train life coaches. We only focus on the leadership, career and business coaching markets. Many have left other coaching programs in frustration and joined ours.

We train our coaches to help leaders solve some of the toughest challenges facing companies and teams right now. We cover these topics and so much more.

  • Leading through change
  • Strategic Planning and Execution
  • Engaging and Mobilizing Teams

We will position you to get out there and coach to the needs of the marketplace. And you will be compensated well as a certified executive coach.

Combine our training program with your esteemed background as an accomplished professional and you will be on your way to a new career. You can join at any time. 

Lastly, we offer personalized, live support. Few organizations do. When you put it all together, you will find that our program is unique in the marketplace and this is why many aspiring coaches do their due diligence, then join the CEC.
