Available Certificates
| Mentoring, Coaching and Leadership Development Certificate |

The primary purposes of the certificate process are to help you become a better version of yourself and a more effective leader by introducing you to the concepts and practices of compassionate listening, discovery learning and the IDEA method of individual mentor-coaching and small group facilitation.
Those who have completed the certificate have benefited in their interpersonal communications skills, team building and management abilities.
Some of our certificate recipients have gone on to do one-on-one coaching, training others in compassionate listening and doing mentor-coaching in their business or non-profit settings. Most have found that participating in a certificate cohort has helped them grow personally and led to healthier connections with other people.

Individuals often deny or resist what they are told. But, when they make a discovery on their own, they embrace it. Coaching is all about the power of discovery.
