Leading-edge ICF Accredited Coach Training and Presence-Based Coaching Certification
Our program integrates coaching, developmental and integral psychologies, somatics, interpersonal neurobiology and mindfulness. Coursework is deeply grounded in a robust model of human development. Some of our students have been coaching for years and have run into the limitations of existing coaching models. Other students are new to coaching. Both of these groups are now integrating Presence-Based Coaching® methodologies to expand what they offer. This work is smart, leading edge and accessible.

Course of Study
Presence-Based Coaching is one of the only coach training programs that provides the flexibility required no matter what coaching path you are on.

Which program is right for me?
Our Core Practitioner program is where everyone must start. This program gives you a solid coaching foundation with our unique methodology, tons of tools and practices to use with clients, connection to a cohort of students who are learning and growing alongside you, all while sharpening your coaching skills the whole way through.
The Core Practitioner program has 3 parts – PBC I (in person 3-day retreat), PBC II (in person 4-day retreat) and Mentor Coaching (virtual, 3-month class). It usually takes about 12 weeks to complete PBC I and II, and another 3 months to complete Mentor Coaching, for a total of 24 weeks or 6 months of training. This Core Coaching course gives you enough coach training hours to pursue your ICF coaching credential at the ACC level.
If you’re interested in continuing on with us to develop Advanced Coaching skills and become a Certified Presence-Based Coach, you’ll want to start with the Core Practitioner course, and then continue on with our Advanced Practitioner Course (LIPCC) which lasts 6 months. This Advanced Coaching course gives you enough coach training hours to pursue your ICF coaching credential at the PCC level.
One of the most powerful educational experiences of my life. Elements included a master teacher and coach; artful design; rigorous content and expectations; a variety of experiential learning activities offering multiple ways of knowing (cognitive, physical/somatic, and psycho-social); regular application of knowledge and skills. All in the context of a learning community fostered throughout. This epitomizes an accelerated learning experience in a supportive environment, offering personal and professional transformation at an exceptional value.
Presence-Based Coaching was the perfect system for me. It combines accountability coaching with heart; acknowledging the extraordinary power of being fully present to another. This training has made me a better coach, a better listener, and a better human.
The PBC course is an excellent foundation for helping a coach be fully present for the client and aware of their own mind, body, and role in the coaching conversation! I had been looking for the right coaching program for several months but once I found PBC knew it was the right fit – not a “checkbox” framework at all – very mindful and neuroscience based.
I couldn’t have made a better decision. As a professional in my early thirties, I’d been searching for the right program to help build my confidence as a coach and jump-start my own coaching practice. I researched lots of certifications from reputable providers but none of them felt right for me. Then I spoke with Bebe and realized how authentic and thoughtful this program is. The structure of the program has allowed me time to immerse in the content while at the retreats and apply learnings at my own pace outside of them. I also find this approach to coaching to be most authentic for me.
Presence-Based Coaching has helped solidify coaching principles that I’ve learned in previous courses while also adding several new skills and methods that have enhanced my ability to effectively coach others. I’ve begun incorporating these principles in my professional and personal relationships and they’ve had a significant impact in both areas of my life. Would highly recommend PBC to everyone seeking to be more effective and intentional in their role as a leader.
This course goes above and beyond. The transformation and growth I have seen in my ability to move forward with my own projects as well as having learned simple and powerful skills that allow me to support the transformation of others is truly touching.
PBC was an experience that I didn’t know I needed on a cellular level. I left feeling so connected to myself, my work in the world, my potential as a coach, and my fellow cohort members. I also feel much more present in my day-to-day interactions and already feel myself deeply embodying the art of the question.
