Embarking on the CoActive Coach Certification Journey

This month I'm starting the intensive 6-month certification process with the CoActive Training Institute (CTI) which will give me the qualifications to receive both my Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) credential and my Professional Certified Coach (PCC) Credential. The CoActive approach has been nothing short of transformative, not just in terms of the quality of coaching I can provide, but in how I approach life and relationships in general. 

My Co-Active journey began last August 2023 when I started the process to receive 100+ hours of training focused on the core principles of CoActive coaching. Here's a brief overview of the five experiential, life changing three-day trainings:

1. Co-Active Fundamentals: Introducing the Co-Active Model and its essential contexts and principles. At the end of this course I felt able to say confidently for the first time in my life, "I am a coach!"
2. Fulfillment: Learning to help clients discover their unique values, identify self-defeating influences, and create a compelling vision for their life.
3. Balance: Assisting clients in developing new perspectives and creating action plans grounded in what's most meaningful to them.
4. Process: Exploring experiential coaching to help clients work through emotionally charged issues and embrace the vital role of chaos in achieving forward motion.
5. Synergy: Integrating all skills learned, elevating coaching to a higher level of professionalism and impact.

One of the most powerful aspects of CoActive coaching is its focus on the whole person. We work with concepts like the "saboteur" (that critical inner voice), the "leader within," and powerful allies that support clients in aligning with their values, vision, and life purpose. 

The CoActive approach also emphasizes the importance of being present and fully engaged in the coaching relationship. Through CoActive, I've learned to use my intuition, to be comfortable with silence, and to ask the questions that lead to profound insights from clients. 

Another aspect I love about this approach is its emphasis on action and accountability. We don't just talk about change; we design concrete steps to make it happen. This balance of introspection and action has been incredibly effective in helping clients create lasting transformation in their lives.

This certification isn't just about adding letters after my name. It's about committing to excellence in my craft and providing the highest quality support to my clients. The CoActive approach has already helped me tap into a deeper sense of purpose and authenticity in my own life, and I'm passionate about sharing these transformative tools with others.

As I embark on this next phase of my journey, I'm excited to deepen my skills, receive personalized feedback on real coaching sessions, and join a community of fellow Certified Professional CoActive Coaches (CPCC). I'm looking forward to the challenge of the 6-month intensive process, knowing that it will push me to grow both personally and professionally.

Here's to growth, transformation, and the exciting road ahead!
