What You’ll Learn In Born To Coach Training Academy
Semester 1: Becoming a Transformational Coach
M1: The Life Coach Role
In this module, you will explore the expectations of your role as a professional coach. By understanding these expectations, you will be equipped to confidently articulate to your clients how you can assist them.
M2: Being an Ethical Coach
In Module 2, we will delve into the significance of adhering to the ICF’s Code of Ethics. Understanding and upholding these ethical guidelines is crucial for maintaining your role as a professional certified coach and avoiding unintentional encroachment into the realm of therapy.
These ethics serve as invaluable tools when navigating unforeseen challenges with your coaching clients. They equip you with the ability to address unexpected issues effectively and guide you in finding resolutions to dilemmas and solutions to problems.
M3: Embodying a Coaching Mindset
In Module 3, you will develop a ‘coaching mindset’ characterized by openness, curiosity, flexibility, and client-centeredness. This mindset will shape how you perceive your clients and determine the types of questions you pose during coaching sessions
M4: Forming the Coaching Agreement
In module 4 we’ll guide you through the process of empowering your clients to understand “how to be a coaching client.” We’ll achieve this by establishing a clear and comprehensive coaching agreement before commencing the coaching relationship and creating new coaching agreements within each session. This proactive approach ensures alignment between you and your client, minimizes misunderstandings, and establishes healthy boundaries from the outset.
M5: Creating Trust & Safety
Establishing an environment of trust and safety is essential in facilitating our clients’ ability to open up and derive the utmost benefit from the coaching process. Without feeling valued, acknowledged, and seen by their coach, clients may struggle to express themselves fully, hindering the exploration of the underlying issues that prompted their engagement in coaching. In this module, you will discover the essential elements of fostering a sense of safety and trust with your clients, laying the groundwork for effective coaching to take root.
M6: Coaching Presence
Today’s module will emphasize the importance of being present, actively listening to the client, and cultivating curiosity about both their words and their identity. Our goal is for you to actively engage with the client, inviting their input to tailor the coaching session accordingly. Additionally, we aim to equip you with the ability to stay grounded and confident, especially when navigating and addressing client emotions.
M7: Becoming a Better Listener
Listening actively to our client’s may be the most important core competency of them all because if we aren’t listening – how are we going to effectively coach our clients?! One of the most beautiful gifts we can give to our coaching clients is the art of deep listening. How often do we experience someone taking the time and energy to truly listen to our wants, needs and desires in life? My guess is we have very few people in our lives who are willing or even know how to be an excellent active listener. In today’s module you will learn how to fully tap into our listening skills to aid in the client’s transformation.
M8: Asking Powerful Questions
In this module, we aim to equip you with the skills to formulate impactful open-ended coaching questions. These questions serve as catalysts, prompting clients to explore new perspectives and gain deeper insights into themselves and their situations. Through this process, clients can begin to identify actionable steps towards the changes they desire in their lives. It’s our ability to facilitate this process of eliciting new awareness that distinguishes coaching from other professions such as teaching, consulting, and therapy.
M9: Goal Setting, Accountability & New Growth
In this module, you’ll learn how to help your clients design post-session reflections and actions, enabling them to confidently move forward with creating their best life ever.
