Spring Presence-Based®Coaching I

The Presence-Based® Coaching Course is a two part course consisting of PBC I and PBC II. While PBC I is self-contained and provides a strong foundation for coaching with presence, the whole course is essential to understanding the full integrated coaching model. Completion of PBC I is a pre-requisite for PBC II.

Course fees include tuition, materials, and post-retreat coaching calls. Required pre-reading text for each retreat is not included (The Mindful Coach for PBC I; Presence-Based Coaching for PBC II). For those exploring ICF credentials at the ACC level, the fastest and most cost effective route is this package:

More about this program

The Presence-Based® Coaching Course is a two-part program. This course provides coaching and change professionals with a pragmatic toolkit for accelerating your own development and that of your leader clients. We focus on building and extending our own presence, and on specific coaching moves and models that awaken and support long term efficacy in our clients.

Attending will build your foundation of Presence-Based coaching skills, with a particular orientation toward developing the whole person. The course is grounded in a model of human development, leading toward the capacity to be present and a learner in all of life.

General Description

Each part consists of approximately two hours of pre-work, a three or four day retreat, and two one-hour follow-up class calls. Part I: Being a Development Partner can be taken as a stand-alone program appropriate for any level of coaching experience. The focus in PBC I is on the presence of the practitioner. This focus on presence, coupled with a powerful architecture for the coaching conversation, invites the conditions for development.

Taken with Part II: Evoking Self-Generation, the entire course offers an entry into a coaching approach with considerable depth, challenging even for experienced practitioners.

Our overall promises for the Presence-Based Coaching Course are that you will build observable new competency in coaching, greatly enhance your coaching presence, contextualize your coaching in a robust model of human development, and be more self-generative in your own life.
