Accredited Executive and Leadership Coach Certification
PragmaDoms with the Center for Executive Coaching (CEC) certified coaches undergo a rigorous, ICF-approved training process that prepares them to work with high-profile executives on a range of pressing issues and methods to improve performance. The core of our executive and leadership coaching certification program includes key foundational elements in the following coaching domains: behavioral coaching, transformational coaching, perceptual coaching, and executive career transition coaching.
Unlike many other coach training programs, we train our members to address the most pressing problems that executives face, with a strong emphasis on achieving specific, measurable, and aggressive results. CEC certified coaches have successfully coached executives and leaders from a wide range of companies and non-profits including Fortune 500 companies, major technology firms, healthcare systems, pharmaceutical companies, universities, financial services companies, emerging growth companies, professional service firms, foundations, national and local non-profits, retailers, real estate companies, and manufacturers.
In addition, this program includes a lifetime membership in The Center for Executive Coaching (www.centerforexecutivecoaching.com) along with all materials, weekly tele-classes, and access to the online member area. This membership will allow you to reinforce what you have learned and meet other coaches.
Five Reasons Why a Culture of Coaching Gives Your Organization a Competitive Edge
A culture of coaching means that your executives, managers, and front-line staff bring out the best in each other, constantly improve results, and build an unstoppable team that works for common goals. Ultimately a culture of coaching enables employees to have the business and emotional intelligence to delight customers, implement ideas to increase revenues and profits, and increase the value of your business.
Improve accountability and results. Coaches create significant, measurable improvements in performance. They do this by agreeing on performance metrics, tracking results, and having appropriate conversations to keep people accountable.
Develop leaders who continue to improve the organization. Coaching builds organizational capacity by developing leaders. With coaching, people gain insights into their own strengths and capabilities, embrace the vision and potential of their organization, and take responsibility for moving the organization forward.
Improve communication up, down, and across the organization. Coaching trains people to have open, honest conversations about how to make things better, without getting defensive, protecting turf, or blaming others. It assures that everyone is aligned and working towards the same strategic priorities.
Give employees the skills they need to perform. Coaching builds expertise in key areas required for high performance: communicating powerfully, engaging employees, managing up, building relationships, influencing without formal power, developing one s career, managing change, building teams, setting strategic direction, focusing one s time on key priorities, and developing others.
Become a magnet for top talent. The best talent insists upon opportunities that advance their skills and career. When you have a culture of coaching, you tell prospective and current employees that you care about their ongoing development. You also create an environment that reduces turnover among your best-performing employees.
