Topic: Applying the Best of Modern Science, In Service of More Powerful Coaching

Presenter: Steve Mitten, B.ApSc, P.Eng, CPCC, MCC Life & Business Coach 2007 Canadian Coach of The Year

Much of coaching has evolved from the intuitive adaptation of past best practices from a wide range of disciplines. There is great value in such a heritage as modern coaching has demonstrated high levels of client satisfaction and return on investment. And, when you can integrate your best intuitive practices with a solid core of what science has demonstrated actually makes people learn and grow optimally, you have a much more powerful approach. In the last few years there has been an outpouring of great research that supports and augments current coaching best practices.

Two top ranked schools at Columbia University have joined forces to offer a Coaching Certification Program and a Center for Coaching Excellence. This collaboration is a natural extension of a long and productive relationship between Columbia's Executive Education Division, Columbia Business School and The Center for Educational Outreach and Innovation, Teachers College.

Program Structure
This Certification Program is designed for those interested in developing the competencies needed to deliver coaching services in organizations, where the focus is on building high-performance cultures that leverage human talent and generate results. Recognizing that learning needs are different for external coaches and those coaches working inside of organizations, a choice of customized programs for internal and external coaches is offered. Upon completion of the external or internal coaching intensive, participants receive a Certificate of Completion and can apply for the Coaching Certification Program, which requires completion of the Practicum and the Advanced Coach Intensive.
