Learn To Coach
Do you naturally lead and influence people? Do you have an intuitive desire to have meaningful conversations? Are you a manager, parent, counselor, or pastor who navigates high-stakes conversations? Would you like to launch your own coaching practice?
The Leadership Coaching Academy is designed for you.
At the LCA you'll engage in an immersive six-month process in a dedicated, intimate community to become a leadership coach.
Our Unique Process
The Leadership Coaching Academy is designed to be different. This coach training program is crafted to be deeply transformative for you, as well as those you lead. Over six months, you'll experience:
- Two live weekends plus online learning in between
- Six group calls and five individual coaching calls
- Peer coaching and industry-relevant reading, grounded in neurobiology, trauma theory, and the mind-body connection
And, because we believe in coaching the whole person, we integrate conversations around embodiment, spirituality, values, past history, and inclusivity, in addition to somatic practices proven to re-wire the brain to create new thoughts and habits.
What Sets Us Apart
Two live, in-person weekends
The LCA includes two live weekends full of immersive exercises, experiential learning, and real-time feedback. Our commitment to face-to-face learning is unparalleled.
Scientific based coaching
