ORGANIZATION TRAINING

I salute the entire organization of the Coaching Innovation Institute. The training was tailored so that it felt like it was tailored for the participant and not from a textbook. More importantly because of the nature of the program our emotional needs, fears and uncertainties became part of the training and this enhanced our growth to become better transformational coaches. I firmly now believe that an old dog can be trained. Thank you for the opportunity to grow.

The training was very practical. I learned skills and approaches that I could deploy immediately and did. I rate the training very high in both content and instruction. The trainers were also very inspiring and empowering. Moreover, I learned equally as much from my cohorts. I have three graduate degrees and have participated in numerous executive education programs. This is one of the best!

Coaching Innovation program aligns with my belief that individual change is the only way to create organizational and systemic change. Coaching Innovation, gives you the tools and practice to become your personal change agent, resulting in being an effective coach to others and contributing to a better world for all people.

This is one of the few spaces I cherish because I was welcomed, supported to be authentic, and intellectually challenged. I found the content relevant and thought provoking. This has made an indelible mark on my career trajectory.

I consistently have returned to education and personal development as a proven strategy to contribute to my community and to my self-fulfillment. Most recently, this has led me to become a certified coach through Coaching Innovation Institute. ICI's coaching model honors the fact that community-driven stories hold power — to reveal hidden truths, activate public discourse, and create positive social change. Through their coach certification program, I have learned to craft a personal vision through a storytelling practice, which has been instrumental in my self-discovery as a coach.

The Coaching Innovation Institute training I participated in was one of the most affirming, joyful and deepening professional experiences I’ve had in a long while. The “special sauce” was our cohort, which includes our amazing coaches, all of whom established a space of trust and open sharing. It was a space where we could openly question, explore deeper parts of ourselves, laugh, cry and be vulnerable.
