CORE CURRICULUM

Fundamentals is CTI's foundational Co-Active Coaching skills course. The Fulfillment, Balance and Process courses are named after the core principles of the Co-Active Coaching Model. Each of the three courses covers in depth, each of the three principles and how to coach them.  In the Bones is an integrative course that deepens your confidence and solidifies the skills that have been taught in the previous four courses.

The five Core Curriculum courses are:

• Fundamentals
• Fulfillment
• Balance
• Process
• In the Bones

FUNDAMENTALS

This course is foundational to the Co-Active Coaching curriculum. It is also a course that stands on its own if you want to learn coaching skills, but don't necessarily want to become a professional coach. There are no prerequisites to take this course.

The purpose of this course is to provide training and practical experience in the techniques and skills of the coaching profession, specifically Co-Active Coaching. This course is oriented toward participation and practical experience rather than lecture. You will have extensive opportunities to coach and to receive feedback on your coaching.

As a result of taking this course, you will learn to:

• Use the four cornerstones of Co-Active Coaching with your clients.
• Communicate with your clients using the five contexts of Co-Active Coaching.
• Use the Life (Balance) wheel with clients.
• Distinguish and use the three levels of listening.
• Demonstrate the most often used coaching skills.

FULFILLMENT

Fulfillment coaching is about having clients let go of preconceived rules and limitations and step into what truly brings them alive.

This course includes practical tools for helping clients discover their unique values, identify self-defeating influences and create a vision for a compelling future. The prerequisite for this course is Fundamentals of Co-Active Coaching.

As a result of taking this course, you will:

• Use visualization and imagery to help clients define a vision of the future they will create.
• Assist clients in identifying their unique values and assessing their satisfaction with living those values.
• Identify a client's self-defeating influences.
• Design the relationship with your client.
• Design an initial "intake" session.

BALANCE

Because people live in constant motion, it's easy to forget that we have a choice in everything we do. Balance coaching is about guiding your clients to make powerful life choices and to select the experiences they want most, rather than dashing about either at the mercy of circumstances or trying to have it all.

In this course, you will learn to assist your clients in generating new perspectives and creating a plan of action grounded in commitment. Prerequisites for this course are Fundamentals of Co-Active Coaching and Fulfillment.

As a result of taking this course, you will:

• Help your clients see many useful perspectives.
• Coach clients by planning from possibility rather than circumstances.
• Create a plan using our innovative "right brain" planning method.
• Use new techniques to get clients into alive, sustainable, effective action.
• Use structures to keep the client in action.

PROCESS

Although uncomfortable, a client's chaos, confusion and inertia are part of his or her forward motion. Being with clients in both their messy and ecstatic places allows them to feel known and to more fully know themselves.

Process coaching is about being with clients wherever they are on the flowing river of their lives - in the strong current, the still pools or the rapids and eddies. Prerequisites for this course are the Fundamentals of Co-Active Coaching, Fulfillment and Balance.

As a result of taking this course, you will:

• Facilitate a life purpose statement with your clients.
• Work with emotionally charged issues with your clients.
• Use the Process coaching skills that have clients "experience" what exists for them rather than talk about it.

IN THE BONES

Co-Active Coaching relies on intuition to be responsive in the moment with your client rather than applying staid techniques or rules. In the Bones focuses on integrating the coaching skills you have learned in previous courses with who you are to take your coaching to a higher level of impact and professionalism.

This course provides polish, depth and courage so that you may respond to a wide range of clients and coaching situations with creativity and power. Prerequisites for this course are the Fundamentals of Co-Active Coaching, Fulfillment, Balance and Process.

As a result of taking this course, you will:

• Demonstrate the ability to coach your client using the principles of Fulfillment, Balance and Process.
• Create in the moment rather than from any preconceived rules.
• Incorporate your own creativity and ability with what you have learned in previous courses.
• Articulate the principles, contexts, cornerstones and skills of Co-Active Coaching.
