Emergent Coaching Certification
Lean into the instrument you are and tune into what’s emerging
ENROLL NOW
Virtual, 12-Week Certification Training | April 13 - June 29, 2023
Are you a coach looking for a way to make coaching feel effortless and intuitive?
Do you feel disconnected from the joy of coaching, burdened by the pressure to add value and create outcomes for your clients?
If so, the Emergent Coaching Certification program may be exactly what you need.
The Emergent Coaching approach is based on the idea that coaches are instruments of something greater than themselves. Instead of focusing on what value they are adding, Emergent Coaches meet their clients where they are and support what is already emerging within them. This organic process allows coaching to feel easy and effortless while still being generative for the client.
Our 12-week virtual training program will teach you how to work with what's already present in the energetic field between you and your clients, unlocking their potential for growth and development. You'll learn to attend to and support what's emerging in the field, and develop your intuition as a coach through practice and repetition.
The program also introduces the 5 As for generative relationships with clients (Attending, Attuning, Allowing, Accepting, Appreciating) and teaches you how to work with a client's feelings as a way to uncover what's wanting to develop within them.
Not only will you learn how to be a more effective coach, but you'll also experience a deeper connection with what flows through you and your coaching. This approach offers an easier, lighter, and more organic way of coaching that feels good for both you and your clients.
Join our Emergent Coaching Certification program and experience the transformative power of Emergent Coaching. Our 12-week virtual training program kicks off on April 13 with weekly sessions through June 29, 2023, and you'll receive 35 ICF CEUs (21 Core Competencies and 14 Resource Development).
If you're ready to let coaching be easy for you and generative for your clients, this program is for you.

“The course was SO rich. This is one of the most rewarding and challenging courses I've done, and sits for me really well with the course I've already done with the AoEC in the UK.”
A rich, rigorous, deeply impactful program…

MODULES 1-3
Explorations in Emergent Coaching

In this segment, we'll explore more of what's available from our clients and the field — all resources to notice, attune to, and use as a place for exploration and deepening client awareness. We'll consider the role of metaphors, narratives, and emotions in coaching.

MODULE 9-12

-
An organizational development professional who wants to engage a broad toolkit of techniques and approaches to use with your clients and support their teams to access more of themselves for better outcomes.
-
An HR or corporate executive who wants to prepare yourself to be most present and available for your team.

What Makes Emergent Coaching Certification Training Different?

We’re With You Every Step of The Way
Our team is committed to connecting with you on a weekly basis to provide personalized assistance, answer questions, and support you in integrating what you learn. We collect your feedback throughout the program to ensure it’s tailored to your needs and that your experience is rewarding.

A Rich Learning Environment
The Emergent Coaching Certification cohorts consist of coaches, counselors, OD professionals, and others who seek to explore their work as a sacred calling and see themselves as an instrument of something larger than who they are. The program draws individuals who care deeply about growing their capacity for presence, intuition, empathy, and more, all within a coaching context.

A Balance of Interactive and Engaging Experiences
Using a strategic combination of live sessions, Q&A, interactive exercises, reflection, breakout rooms, and triads, you’ll be transported into a meaningful and connected experience that will continue with you long after our 12-week journey.

An Internal Deep Dive
While most certification programs are intended to provide you with a client toolbox, the Emergent Coaching Certification guides you on a powerful internal dive. You’ll gain deeper self-awareness, allowing you to reach a new depth in your coaching and have a greater impact on your clients and yourself.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Training Schedule
The Emergent Coaching Certification training is a thoughtfully-designed hybrid program that offers independent exploration and engaging live learning with your cohort in weekly live sessions and triad meetings.
Training is facilitated weekly on Zoom. These experiential and immersive sessions are held:
April 13 - June 29, 2023
Weekly on Thursdays
10:30 AM - 12:00 PM Pacific / 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM Eastern

Plan for both weekly 90-minute virtual learning sessions and time outside of virtual sessions to engage in learning triads, readings, and exercises to support you in integrating what you learn.
Can’t make a session?
The entire program is live, virtual, and recorded. The live sessions are available in the learning portal, complete with downloadable resources, learning partners, and Q+As. And if you can’t make it live, don’t worry! You’ll have unlimited access to the recordings, so you can catch up on the replays (or watch again!) whenever you like.

Henry Kahn
“I feel that this course was the most powerful and beneficial because I was still having many moments of “I didn’t see it coming.” I am as close as I have ever been to replacing my default reactivity to unfolding challenges with breath work, body awareness, pausing, being silent (a wonderful place to be!), and all of the other exercises of bearing witness, connecting with source, experiencing the field. Last but not least, I am learning to label, acknowledge, and then let go of what no longer serves me or my clients (instead of ignoring).”
