Testimonials

Attending Michael Neuendorff’s in-person executive coaching seminar in San Mateo was an incredibly valuable experience. I gained practical, immediately applicable tools that have enhanced my coaching approach. The environment fostered meaningful connections with talented professionals, and the insights I gained boosted my confidence to coach executives and leaders at a higher level. This seminar was instrumental in helping me take my coaching skills to the next stage—highly recommended!

This was a tremendous opportunity to jump-start my coaching practice! The real value of the in-person seminar is the face-to-face interaction with your classmates. This creates an instant peer group for ideation, support, and knowledge sharing. I would highly recommend this path for anyone who prioritizes relationship building as part of their practice.

I recently attended the Center for Executive Coaching’s seminar led by Michael and Andrew, and I highly recommend it. Their expertise in coaching and practical approach provided valuable insights for enhancing leadership skills. Through engaging sessions and one-on-one feedback, I quickly saw improvements in my coaching abilities. Don’t hesitate to invest in your future with this transformative seminar.

The CEC certification in-person seminar was an excellent experience and very good value. Michael was an extremely effective instructor. He has deep content knowledge and is a very skilled facilitator. The content was relevant and well-organized. He brought the material to life with examples from his own coaching practice and experience. The cohort was an extremely valuable aspect of the in-person seminar as well. Having the opportunity to go through the session with a group of motivated, passionate, and successful individuals made the experience even more impactful. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to deepen their executive coaching capabilities.

The in-person seminar exceeded my expectations. It enabled a connection to like-minded, future coaches, who are all going through the same journey. The opportunity to learn from one another and the different perspectives we brought, added to the excellent content that we went through together. Michael’s experience and guidance, together with the quality of the content, was exceptional. The networking event with coaching alumni was a real plus, and their openness to share stories and advice was immense. Our cohort aims to keep connected and help one another in the future, and that is the bond that an event like this creates. Sign up today, you will not be disappointed!

After three years of Zoom meetings and training, it was a joy to spend 4 full days with humans and practice coaching together. Michael was an excellent trainer and shared a wealth of information, everything from coaching best practices, deal structure information, ICF details, books to read, his own past experiences (both positive and negative), multimedia examples, and so much more. I very much appreciated his ‘no bad question’ attitude, his patience, guidance, and personal interest in each and every person there. The reception on Friday night was a welcome break from the week, and it was amazing to meet alumni of the program to see how they’ve launched and advanced their coaching careers. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have learned with Michael and my fellow coach newbies!

The in-person CEC seminar is an excellent opportunity to connect with other coaches in an immersive learning experience. The program is ideal for new coaches looking to learn the foundations of coaching and seasoned coaches wishing to refresh and refine their skills. I appreciate Michael’s ability to bring the topics to life with real examples of how coaching concepts and competencies are applied. I have taken many coaching courses in my coaching journey. However, the CEC seminar and online series is the first program I have encountered that gives you valuable information and insights you can’t find anywhere else. You will walk away with the skills, knowledge, and confidence you need to grow your internal or external coaching practice!

I’ve had the privilege to be Michael’s student through the Center for Executive Coaching. He not only provides keen instruction but also facilitates a class environment of community, introspection, and growth. I particularly appreciate the real-world, practical application with which he presents the curriculum and his willingness to be a mentor and resource. He provides a trusting and supportive environment in which to learn and for that I am grateful and would whole-heartedly recommend his class and/or services to anyone seeking certification or executive coaching.

For the past 14 months I have attended Michael Neuendorff’s evening webinars in order to complete my 100 live hours for the CEC. In these live webinars Michael provided us with a breadth and depth of knowledge that were beyond my expectations. Michael covered the expected theory and consistently went beyond the required material to provide us with real world examples to implement the theory. And this is characteristic for Michael; he goes beyond the required and genuinely works to improve your skills. Thanks to Michael I feel confident to coach, that I have the skills, the knowledge and the agility to help my clients.

Thank you so much for your coaching! I look forward to each and every session with you. You have a marvellous, and I feel somewhat rare, ability to really connect with your audience to the point where they feel engaged and enthusiastic about whatever material is being presented. Most of all, your presence and heart shines through. It’s obvious you actually care and that, I believe, makes all the difference in the world.

As a student in the CEC, I have enjoyed my classes with Mike. He makes each and every webinar a real learning experience, as well as providing valuable insights into coaching and running your own coaching business. Mike is an authentic person, and that comes through in his teaching style and his mentoring. I found Mike’s mentoring to be very open and very illustrative for a new business owner such as myself. He shares his experiences openly and honestly which makes it a valuable learning opportunity. Finally I feel that Mike is just a genuinely good person. His love of helping people is evident, and comes through in all my interactions with him. I feel Mike will help you attain your goals and will always give you 100%!

I have very much appreciated Michael Neuendorff’s teaching approach at the Center for Executive Coaching. Michael appreciates that the cohort is made up of seasoned professionals and manages to mentor and make content relevant and useful, even to students/clients who have a lot of experience themselves. Michael is an expert who is accessible in his communication style and people learn from his willingness to share his own experiences and past mistakes. He is invested in client success and is open to continuing to learn, a great quality he models. I recommend him highly across any of the coaching, teaching, training, presenting endeavors in which he would choose to be involved. Any client would be lucky to work with him

Michael brings extensive experience to this coaching program. His stories brought the learning to life. The program was engaging, informative and provided a great foundation for building my business.

We remain connected even after the class ended and continue to support each other in our professional goals. I can highly recommend Michael and CEC’s program for anyone interested in building a coaching business.

I attended the CEC certification program in October lead by Michael Neuendorff. It was fantastic. While very structured with the foundational basics of coaching, the schedule allowed for flexibility to have plenty of dialogue with our fellow peers. The reason I chose this coaching program was the relevant and practical information related to coaching and the wonderful tools it provides. I can’t wait to dig into all the live webinars to continue my learning.

I began my formal Executive Coaching journey by first enrolling in the Center for Executive Coaching. The curriculum and resources are outstanding but they’re brought to life in practical, real-world teaching by Michael Neuendorff who serves as a faculty member.

Michael has a wealth of experience, and does a great job of telling stories, keeping everyone engaged, and working with people of very different levels of experience and backgrounds.

I am so glad that I decided to participate in the in-person CEC experience. Michael was phenomenal, the cohort was diverse, and all aspects of the program were appropriately challenging. I learned so much through the 3.5 days and recommend this to any prospective coach looking for a more intimate, person-centered executive coach training program.

Just hours after the seminar ended, I found myself thinking, and even saying out loud, “Wow! That was an incredible experience and great opportunity.” Without a doubt, one of the best training seminars that I have experienced.

I found the seminar to be both informative and impactful. The composition of participants was diverse, with a myriad of industries, roles and responsibilities represented. Our cohort connected immediately and will utilize one another as resources as we navigate our coaching journeys. I, personally, resonated more with the material being able to consume and practice it live as opposed to virtually or recorded. I highly recommend it!
