Lead Like a Coach!

This six-month certification program brings together four important trends in cutting-edge businesses:

  • The rise of sophisticated executive coaching to enable growing leaders and teams to reach their highest potential
  • The recognition of the importance of strategic business executives leading the Talent and People function
  • The market imperative to create connected business cultures that prioritize the well-being of employees
  • The consideration of authentic leadership and conscious leadership as table stakes for fostering innovative culture

One of the most common questions we hear from senior leaders is “how can I be a better coach for my direct reports?”

To meet this growing demand, seasoned executive and leadership team coaches and business operators Kaley Klemp and Sue Heilbronner join forces to deliver a six-month coaching certification program for business leaders.

Executives, leaders, and managers who want to develop their coaching muscles and methodologies in order to become even more effective in their current roles will gain a sophisticated toolset, new methods, peer-to-peer learning in a stellar cohort, and the chance to practice coaching techniques in direct application to real-world work scenarios.

Become a Better Coach Inside Your Organization

In our current business climate, successful companies must walk the walk of creating an intentional business culture and offering employees opportunities for personal growth. It is not only possible to be a coach in a leadership role, it is optimal if not critical. So there’s no need to quit your day job: be a coach in your role and “lead like a coach.”

Through this program, business leaders and culture influencers will garner insights, skills, methodologies, practice, and a pragmatic set of tools to provide transformative coaching to internal leaders and team members in their organizations.

In addition to receiving high-touch training from the facilitators, participants will benefit from the exposure to other experienced business leaders in their cohort. Peer-to-peer learning is a continuous and enriching aspect of the blended in-person and remote program.

Participants will learn to coach their organizations’ leaders to:

  • Operate from a place of curiosity instead of defensiveness
  • Take 100% responsibility for their leadership and the culture and performance of their teams
  • Increase their effectiveness by functioning as more authentic leaders
  • Develop an improved ability to give and receive quality feedback
  • Leverage the various personality types of their teams for optimal performance and creativity
  • Make clear agreements
  • Communicate more consciously
  • Reduce counterproductive drama in their organizations
  • Reach a higher level of overall satisfaction in work and life

The program kickoff will be a two-day in-person event in Boulder, CO in January 2024 and we will meet again in Boulder in May 2024 for the live certification culmination program. Monthly remote and individual activities will be scheduled throughout the six-month program.

The 2024 program on Coaching for Business Leaders and Culture Influencers is open for applications. The cohort size is limited, and applications will be competitive.
