The Coach As Leader

Claiming the Leadership Potential That's Already Within You

A coach is more than someone who helps others become better leaders. A coach is a leader. Yet many coaches don't relate easily to that idea, preferring to see themselves as activators and supporters of other people's leadership rather than stepping forward as beacons of it themselves.

In reality, coaching is far more than a skillset. It is a path of progressive leadership. And most coaches are carrying far more of that potential than they recognize or claim.

Join us for this enlivening Masterclass, where we together explore how each of us can begin to stand more fully as a leader, both within the coaching relationship and the world beyond, and deepen the impact you are here to have.

This is an International Coaching Federation (ICF) approved workshop that offers 1.5 CCEUs (1CC / 0.5RD) when attended live.

What We’ll Explore Together

  • The coach as leader: Why coaching itself is a path of progressive leadership, and what that can mean for you.

  • Inner leadership: The leadership capacities already present in the way you hold and accompany others.

  • Outer leadership: The benefits of stepping into greater visibility as a leader to carry your work into the world.

  • Claiming a potential: Why coaches carry more leadership potential than they have yet recognized or claimed.

This masterclass is an invitation to explore a potential of the coaching profession that many coaches have not fully embraced but which can take our work to a new level.
