Coaching is a powerful process to support people to create positive change – which takes thoughts, feelings, and actions working together. Through this journey you’ll learn to apply International Coach Federation (ICF) Core Competencies for the essentials of coaching; a transformational emotional intelligence framework to make coaching highly effective; plus practical tools to provide metrics for growth--- and this CCS is the final step of EQ Coach Certification.

We’ve identified the essential ingredients coaches need to truly launch a thriving practice. While many programs simply introduce coaching skills, EQCC goes further — preparing and supporting you to become an effective coach with coaching practices observed by skilled EQCC graduates & ICF Certified members. Beyond teaching the basics, EQCC equips you with a robust toolset to confidently build your practice and create lasting impact with clients.

I researched many ICF Coach Certification programs and selected EQCC because of the learning model and depth of in-person training. While not the least expensive, learning together in this community is Priceless!!

  • Align your awareness, presence and purpose as the foundation for effective coaching.
  • Effectively structure coaching sessions.
  • Build a coaching program that measurably improves performance.
  • Apply coaching competencies, procedures, and tools to support clients to grow.
  • Build your coaching practice in an effective way. And you’ll feel inspired and empowered as a coaching change maker, and connected to a community of EQ coaches and practitioners.

 

“I’ve been studying EQ for a number of years; I began looking for a robust EQ program/system that I could fully integrate into our organization’s leadership development program, as well as enhance my coaching experience. After about 6 months of research, I chose Six Seconds. I found the model to be thorough, easy to understand and well-grounded in solid research. Their resource library and support personnel are extremely knowledgeable and responsive and the way they melded their EQ model into the International Coaching Foundation credentialing is outstanding. Lastly, being a member of Six Seconds Global Community provides a valuable insight into different cultures and approaches to applying EQ.”

– Rick Smith, Chief Administrative Officer, Vail Health
