Presence-Based Coach Training

Presence-Based Leadership Development offers training for experienced and new coaches as well as leaders committed to purposeful and meaningful action.  Each of these offerings will simultaneously support your personal development and professional effectiveness.

Our coach training curriculum is designed to offer robust presence-based coach training, grounded in an inclusive model of human development. The program develops coaches who are deeply committed to their own learning and development, to an inquiry-centered approach to coaching, to cultivating mindfulness and awareness in themselves and their clients, and to placing themselves in service to the growth and development of effective and compassionate leaders.

This curriculum is for discerning individuals who are seeking a top notch development experience with a small group in a face-to-face setting. The core of the training is delivered in three-day residential retreats at a beautiful retreat center in Asheville, NC. Additional reading, self-observations, telephone conferences, and observed audio reviews complete the coursework.

Designed for committed learners at any level of coaching experience, the curriculum is approved by the International Coach Federation for initial certification or renewal at ACC, PCC, or MCC levels.

ACSTH color
We received final approval from the ICF; the entire Presence-Based Coaching curriculum now comes with credits for initial coach training or re-certification. We are now in the midst of the Fall Presence-Based Coaching Course. There is still time to sign up for PBC1 in September and PBC2 in October.

With Bev Wann, Doug will be delivering a three day Presence-Based Resilience workshop built around somatic practices to US AID missions globally in 2010. Stay tuned for more on this exciting work.

Doug is an extraordinary coach and an exceptional teacher and writer.  Every detail of the Presence Based Coaching course was well thought out. I returned energized after practicing and observing coaching with very talented professionals from many fields. I am learning to slow down, and to create, with my staff, a supportive environment within which to question long held assumptions about what's possible, and to build the courage and clarity for self expression.

The  retreat helped me take my coaching work to a much higher level. Doug’s emphasis on integrating the body into the coaching experience allowed me to be present with my clients at a level that I had not experienced. This holistic experience continues to enrich my life and my coaching practice.

My coaching has taken a giant leap forward- I am able to "lead like water" to let the conversation go wherever it needs to, to recognize more easily when I am pushing or assuming I know what's best, and to trust in the client's wisdom. The result is that my clients and I are going deeper and to places I think will produce real results-all with less frustration and work on my part. The quality of my listening and being present is deeper and even more authentic. Your coach training is the best by far I have ever attended.
