The SeattleCoach Professional Training and Development Company grows leaders who plan to use their coaching skills and presence in a wide array of settings: With executives and their teams, as in-house experts, external entrepreneurs and via individual, team, wellness, adventure and personal development coaching. When you join us, you get to invest in who you might want to be next. And, in the words of one SeattleCoach, your soul will feel bigger. Since our beginnings as a certified coaching education and development company in 2008, over 500 smart and attractive coaches from five continents have trained together in forty-three cohorts. We now launch new cohorts of up to ten coaches several times a year--some on the inside of great companies. Each new participant becomes part of our Network. And each Cohort becomes a vibrant team of allies. Our vision is that the SeattleCoach Network of coaches will continue to grow in numbers and quality in the years to come: individually and together deepening their skill, their presence, their character and their bonds as some of the best coaches and coaching leaders anywhere. Pretty exciting. |

"Patty is one of the best. High integrity, compassion, spirituality, smarts and keen sense of humor makes her the best coach trainer I’ve ever had the honor to meet. I highly recommend her."
"I'm becoming a better version of myself." "Thank you for answering your calling--and for helping us answer ours." "Thank you for your leadership and influence in coaching and providing strong support, guidance and encouragement! It has made a significant difference in my life, my family and relationships with others." "It's a trick! They have you coach others and you end up coaching yourself!" "You turn people into coaches! How do you do that?!" "What continues to present itself is the wisdom of how you’ve designed this coursework. I didn’t expect to discover and learn what I am. More than the rules and ways of coaching, it is heart and soul + science and framework. I love this mix." "Your style is perfect for me, your wisdom and experience helpful, and you are fun. What more could a student ask?" "As I finish Module II, I think I'm a better coach. I know I'm a better person." "If it weren't for you and your kindness I would not be a coach today. You were the very first person to take the time to explain to me how my talents could be used as a coach." "I see opportunities for the application of my new skills every day." |
"This is so much more than training. I've learned from listening to everyone else in this cohort how to listen to myself better. It's a juicy growth opportunity."
"This training has been a chrysalis. We've all become more than we thought we could be via community." "This work has quietly seeped into all parts of my life." "I love what I do in a way I never imagined was possible." "Thank you, Patty, so much for following your vocation. You've opened up a world of opportunity for other people to find their path. You have created magic." "There are juicy bits to your much layered instruction that usually dawn on me as I drive home. One of the latest was the use of a song to get prepped and in the flow for a coaching session. There’s science behind why this works. You don’t regale us with some of the whys and wherefores but are willing to go down the road when asked. Subtle genius . . . Coaching training with you makes me a better person." "My coaching comes into play daily, as I recognize how I can have better presence, ask better questions and help to make the world a brighter place." "The entire program has been a gift and I will be forever grateful for our thoughtful and quietly transformative sessions. You have dug deep to create something that the world so desperately needs and found ways to empower and encourage more and more of it. What a blessing to have found you and to take part!" "Just got my first coaching contract. I am SO excited and nervous. And so well prepared, thanks to you." |
The members of our company who have completed the program are showing up differently with their teams. They are both 'coaching leaders' and 'coaching team players.'"
"Here's what turns me on: People of compassion acting with courage, connected with their life calling (purpose). One person or team living this way can cascade into their families, friends, colleagues, congregations, neighbors, and fellow citizens." "This has benefitted my entire life." "I have a closer relationship with my teenager." "You can take this stuff and make it your profession. You can also make it your way of living. Date night is better. Parenting is better." "This is so much more than training. I've learned from listening to everyone else in this cohort how to listen to myself better. It's a juicy growth opportunity." "I see opportunities for the application of my new skills every day." "I love what I do in a way I never imagined was possible. It has become aspirational, and I have a sense of calling to it." "Expect as many changes in you as in those you coach! Welcome to this unique practice." I have been thinking lately about how coaching is touching so many parts of my life, and how it makes me better at whatever I do when I show up like a coach. I am truly humbled by the gift of coaching, and I am truly grateful for your guidance and acceptance of me. I love SeattleCoach and I am deeply grateful for your guidance, teaching, coaching and mentoring. |
