CoachInc.com and its
philosophy:
Since 1992, CoachInc.com has trained the finest
personal, business and corporate coaches in the world by educating more than
16,000 students and graduates from 51 countries to become coaches through its
Coach U and Corporate Coach U programs. The company was founded on the belief
that life and business send each of us a series of messages. If you respond to
the message, it becomes an opportunity; but if you ignore or don’t see the
message, it becomes a problem. The better you see and faster you respond, the
more opportunities and fewer problems you will have.
Sandy Vilas, owner and CEO since 1996, and visionary
Jennifer Corbin, president, have taken that message and endowed it with action
all over the world, assisting people to become coaches and helping others get
what they want in life, both personally and professionally. CoachInc.com and its
proponents believe there is nothing more important than the client’s
satisfaction with their work – no hidden agendas. The connection to each other
is important; as we strengthen ourselves, we strengthen everyone around us. And
what it means to be a person continues to evolve and unfold. Coaching
facilitates collaboration, creativity, innovation, action and positive
results.
Guiding principles:
Both
Coach U and Corporate Coach U are based on fundamental values and beliefs that
have become the core of the training. Although interpreted somewhat differently
in the personal versus professional or corporate setting, the guiding principles
are the same. These include:
1. People have something in common
2. People are
inquisitive
3. People contribute
4. People grow from connection
5.
People seek value
6. People act in their own interest
7. People live from
their own perception
8. People have a choice
9. People define their own
integrity.
Training
programs:
CoachInc.com training programs take a comprehensive and
inclusive approach to coaching. No one method works for everyone, so
CoachInc.com programs use a variety of strategies and paths to success. In this
manner, coaches are able to customize their coaching styles to the needs of each
client. CoachInc.com also takes a flexible approach to its classes, offering
both live programs and teleclasses for the Core Essentials Program to
accommodate the convenience of its students. Self-study materials, proprietary
tools, and access to reference materials are also designed to accommodate the
busy schedules of students.
While some coaches may want to coach full-time, other
people may look at coaching as a part-time profession. And, in fact, many people
simply wish to integrate sound coaching skills and principles into their current
jobs, businesses and life experiences. CoachInc.com programs are designed to
meet the professional path chosen individually by each student. When students
have completed the programs, they are supported via special interest groups and
coaching chapters throughout the world, giving everyone access to an
international coaching community.
