During the Living in Presence-Based Coaching Course you will:

Deepen your understanding and practice of Presence-Based® Coaching. In LIPCC, you will apply coaching tools and practices to on-going coaching relationships and life-long development. Retreats, virtual technologies, small group work and supervision provide a range of rigorous structures that support the integration of learning. Leading edge material going well beyond Doug’s published writings is included, and our Competency Model provides grounding for rigorous coach self-development.

Follow the developmental thread of Sensing, Being, and Acting. We, and our clients, live in multiple commitments that include contribution, self-care, career, and family. These superficially competing dynamics trigger the experience of tension, and they hold the potential of accelerated integration. In LIPCC, we come to see that we are revealed through an unfolding series of commitments that impel us to continually include and transcend our identities in a life-long development process. Coaching and living in presence accelerate this natural unfolding for ourselves and for our clients.

Forge a robust community of practice. A central part of the learning will be the development of a co-creative community of practice whose collective purpose is to support the development of our members, and in turn those we serve. We do this primarily through the practice of Presence-Based® Coaching.

Presence-based coaching is coaching at its best, and the training that I wish I had received way back when I first started coaching.  It not only unpacks the structure of coaching so precisely and clearly, but it also models the being of the coach and the nature of the coaching relationship that brings forth the best from clients and coaches.  It is a very holistic, integrative and developmentally focused approach to coaching and coaching training, delivered by master trainers who live and practice what they teach.  The powerful program design has been honed over years of delivery, review, and adjustments.  I have come away a different coach and person, with greater impact and joy in coaching.

LIPCC is a must for anyone who wants to do the deep, soul-opening work of discovering their full potential as a coach. The tools you walk away with will substantially change the way you interact with your clients, but more importantly, will change the way you view yourself, allowing you to access a new level of confidence rooted in presence. I cannot express enough how much this experience has transformed me.

The LIPCC program was the fulfillment of a personal dream in content and outcome. I grew as a coach and as a person. As someone who honors somatics, personal development and experiential learning, I cannot recommend this program highly enough. As a result of my participation, I am attracting higher level clients, and living at a higher standard for my own growth and development.
