Center for Coaching Mastery Starter Certification Program

The other BIG benefit of living the life of a Coach is this: Coaching is the most rigorous personal development concept ever invented! In order to coach well, you have to keep growing yourself. Every person you coach is a mirror into yourself in some way so you start to see yourself deeply and profoundly. If you are a dedicated lifelong learner, then coaching is a great career for you.

One last point: while we do take coaching very seriously, it really is a LOT of fun. With our emphasis on the Spirit of Play you are in for a lot of “big smile” moments. We like to pursue it as “Serious Play” and we hope you will too.

In the step by step option, each step is a requirement for the next step. In other words, you can’t purchase step 2 without step 1.
