Master the Language

In this program you will learn the 15 Coaching Proficiencies created by the late Thomas Leonard – The Pattern Language of the craft of coaching.

Transform Your Mindset:

From: The basic skills are all you need to know

To: The Proficiencies set an enticingly “high bar” for mastery

A Pattern Language is a set of phrases that bring an experience to life. Learning and using these language patterns will immediately improve the quality of your coaching and your enjoyment of coaching.  Even better, you can learn to use them “in the moment” to alter the course of a coaching session that is going flat or off track.

When the late Thomas Leonard taught the first Coaching Proficiencies Intensive it sent shock waves through the entire coaching industry. Never before – and never since – has the craft of coaching been so completely and inspiringly described.

New coaches were immediately lifted to a level of quality beyond what their experience would dictate.  And senior coaches – and LOTS of them participated in this – were shocked and delighted that there was a higher level of coaching in sight; and A LOT more to learn.  It was a breath of fresh air; It still is.

Find out what all of the fuss was about!  Participate in this program.

Peer Reviews

Nina Miöen

All of the proficiencies are fantastic! They touch my heart so much! I got a feeling of getting a bit closer to the true meaning of life. This is something I been looking for…And Gloria explaining the proficiencies is great! I am learning more and more from life, such as to look at the bigger picture. Don’t ask WHY; try to look for the greater truth of the situation. It feels like I am really aligned with these proficiencies.

I have a client who is out of work and has been facing a lot of adversity.  When we met this past week, I focused on “Respecting the Client’s Humanity” and it clearly deepened our relationship and freed him to talk about and “go through the forest” of frustration he has been experiencing. On the other side of it, he moved towards actions he wanted to take without any prompting from me.

The most intriguing part of the class was when we talked about the proficiency “designs supportive environments” and the concept that the environment will always win. Everything can be seen as environment, it is truly important for me to design inner and outer environments to get flow and reach my goal with minimal effort. By thinking and acting in those terms everything will be much easier and fun in my life. I really look forward joining the teleclass Environmental Design.
