ICF MMS COACH TRAINING

Coaching Overview

We live in complex times.  We are bombarded by more stimulation than ever before in the history of the world. We need to make more choices in one day than previous generations made in their entire lives. In addition the world we live in is constantly changing. The changes are environmental, technological, political, economic, scientific, and global. We also must contend with task-saturated lives in which responses are expected in nanoseconds, and there is less and less time available to process information and data. In short, there is less time, there are higher expectations, and a plethora of electronic devices that demand attention dictating the need to be “in the know” at every moment causes stress. When you are juggling multiple tasks, trying to get more done than seems humanly possible, and you are faced with decisions you don’t feel confident making… you are not alone. The pressure to make choices and make the right decisions weighs heavily on executives wrestling with expansion, relocation, and reorganization opportunities; it also concerns employees who have to make career choices about changing jobs, relocating to another country, or determining their main “driver” in making these decisions. This is the condition that has given rise to the profession of coaching. Professions come into existence when there is a need; they die out when that need has been replaced.  In this fast-paced, intensive world coaching helps unearth vision and passion, focus motivation and make the dream become reality!

Vision and Goals of the program:

The twelve-week intensive in-person program teaches coaching from the inside-out, using the original and oldest MMS coaching method.  The approach is based on these three key assumptions:

• People have an “Inner Knowing” regarding what is “right” for them
• People possess the resources to manifest what they want in their lives
• People can have their lives be the way they truly want them

The vision for our MMS Coach Training is to train individuals to become “Brilliant” coaches. At the completion of the program, each participant will be able to efficiently clarify the underlying issue, get to the essence of the matter, determine specifically what the client ideally wants, and support the client in strategizing an action plan so that he or she can fulfill or manifest their vision. It is our goal for students participating in our program to fully embody the ICF Ethical standards along with the ICF and MMS Core Competencies, and to be prepared to professionally coach individuals either independently or within an organizational setting.
