What you will learn

- Coach using a presence-based, human-centered approach
- Apply the Inner Game + Outer Game framework in real conversations

Why this approach works
The Inner Game + Outer Game of Coaching
Most coaching programs teach skills. Human Potential Coaching develops skills and the inner capacity to use them effectively.
This whole-person approach creates coaches who are grounded, effective, and capable of supporting lasting change.
OUTER GAME
- Listening and questioning
- Session flow and structure
- Reflection, reframing, and insight
- Supporting action and accountability
INNER GAME
- Presence and self-awareness
- Emotional intelligence
- Nervous-system literacy
- Capacity to stay grounded under pressure
Program Focus
Coaching Foundations is delivered live and experientially through a focused training series. The program covers the core learning experience of Human Potential Coaching, drawn from the first three parts of our certification pathway.
