When you see this badge next to someone's name . . .
It means that we invited this person to join us for coach training and development because we saw in them the stuff that's hard to teach.
It means that they then spent some rigorous weeks and months acquiring the skills, competencies, and presence of a coaching leader.
It means that they learned alongside several peer coaches with whom they found support, challenge, innovation, and fun. They probably also uncorked a little magic.
It means that they were eager and resilient about getting good at both "doing the craft" and "being the coach."
It means that they are positively contagious on the inside of some great organizations.
It means that they belong to a community of professional and ethical allies and have access to continued development, support, mentor coaching, and supervision as members of the SeattleCoach Network.
The bottom line: The "SeattleCoach " Badge is deeply earned.
The ability to coach well adds an extra gear to the professional identity and engine of leaders, managers, and health care professionals. It is equally rewarding and demanding.
At SeattleCoach we understand that the ability to coach well is both ancient and new. As practitioners of this maturing work, our goal is to stay on the leading edge. We under‐promise and over‐deliver and think SeattleCoaches are among the best-prepared anywhere. As an intentionally small but scrappy program, we're like a good Northwest craft brewery: We start with excellent ingredients, work with small batches and add lots of careful attention, mentoring, supervision, excitement about learning and yes, fun, along the way. No fog machines. No one-size-fits-all formulas. The results are delightful.
If you think you might want to join this amazing tribe of coaches, be in touch. We'll get right back to you.
Since 2008, nearly 600 seasoned leaders have joined us. They represent scores of backgrounds, organizations and companies--and five continents. We’ve trained and developed each one in small, face-to-face, interactive Cohorts,
