Accelerated Coach Training Program

A Systematic, Effective Method to Develop Leaders with Character and Competence

Unlock Sustainable Change Through the ACT Program:

Catalyze In-depth Conversations
Lead Engaging Meetings
Listen Intuitively
Ask Powerful Questions
Enhance Your Development of Others

The ACT Program is an in-depth, 15 week program designed for those who desire to use coaching practices in their current role. It employs a combination of two one-day workshops, eight tele-class training sessions, and eight personal coaching sessions with a peer coach and/or coach trainer, to create personal transformation in the lives of the trainees.

You will practice skills including asking powerful questions, active listening, the G.R.O.W. model of coaching, redefining success and failure, catalyzing in-depth coaching conversations, and setting up a coaching client relationship.

Your sustainable personal change experience positions you to replicate this experience with others. Organizational culture shifts when the leaders of an organization each experience personal change and practice our methodologies.

At completion of the ACT Program you will have the option to upgrade into the Professional Program by taking the five-week ACT Upgrade Course. You are also qualified to present the Real Talk Training Seminar. To purchase the RTT Presenter’s Pack, visit the “Coaching Tools” page.
