          Coaching Program Details

          Why a compass? Coaching is instrumental in facilitating personal and professional transformation, marking a profound shift from one place to another. Central to this change is self-awareness—a compass serves as a pivotal coaching tool, grounding both coach and client. It enables exploration of directions and priorities, aligning core values with intentional processes to realize desired outcomes. Through compass work, coaches and clients reevaluate beliefs, behaviors, and systems, fostering substantial growth and development.

          Course Details

          Our Coaching Program will consist of 5 different courses. Each course will include weekly synchronous facilitated sessions with an expert coach; mentor coaching hours; portfolio building; and peer triad coaching practice. The 5 courses are:
