There has never been a better time to be a coachbut...

So there's no doubt that the coaching field is blowing up.  More and more people see the need for personal coaching.  Just like yoga decades ago, Life Coaching has gone mainstream.  And it has the $14 billion dollar industry to prove it. Which sounds like good news, right? Except….

The number of non-credentialed people out there, calling themselves a "coach," is also growing.  It's like the wild west right now.  Anybody can sell themselves as any kind of coach they like.  It's a completely unregulated industry.

Here's the real problem: For the average person, it’s not always easy to tell an effective coach from a poser… until they fail to get results and make progress. 

Not only does it prevent the coach, and  the clients seeking coaching, from having the life they want, it may leave a bad taste in their mouths about coaching altogether.  

Most of these untrained coaching practices will fail, and worst of all, they will fail the clients on whom they are experimenting.

In the Coaching world, like many other professions, without clear differentiation, as well as proof of expertise and skill, it comes down to price.  But, it doesn't have to be like this. 

Our CCA training puts you in a position to get your clients dependable results while you enjoy the financial and personal freedom you've earned.

CAA Professional Coaching Certification 

Sets You Apart

 

The Certified Coaching Academy is a structured, supportive path, for active coaches to earn a Professional ICF Certification and ignite their own thriving life-coaching practices. Normally, you'd need to complete both your ACC (Level 1) and then your PCC (Level 2), but, in this course you'll get both!

Certified Coaching Academy (CCA) is accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) as one of their recommended programs. This training has already produced dozens of thriving coaches who are living their purposes and making lasting impact on their clients, businesses and communities.

Stand Out From Other Coaches in a Crowded Market

Set yourself apart from other life coaches with an internationally recognized certification. PLUS, learn from a heart-centered, 25yrs experienced facilitator in a supportive group setting.   

Master Proven Skills & Frameworks

An effective coach is only as good as the experience, tools & skillsets at their disposal. That's why we'll share the vital processes that empower you to facilitate extraordinary results with your clients:

  • Results that are much harder to come by through "natural coaching ability" alone.
  • Results that clients will be excited to pay for and pay you well for. 

Create a Predictable, Lucrative Business

More and more executives, leaders, and those that desire more out of life are actively seeking out coaching.  The global market size of the coaching industry is over $14 billion because people want results - and professional coaching works. 

So whether you're looking to pivot into a new and fulfilling career path, or scale your current coaching practice into a more predictable business, being a Certified Coach WILL increase your value in the marketplace.

How Talie's Approach to Certification is Different

Getting your Level 1 & 2 Certification is like getting both your Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Life Coaching!

Certified Coaching Academy is more than "classroom education.” 

Forget dry lectures, tedious assignments and going at it alone. Our program enriches the entire training process by bringing you into a connective community and focusing on the skills that will provide the significant growth you want to see, both in yourself, and your business. 

Flexibility

Our training offers a hybrid approach so you can have the freedom to go at your own pace.  Enjoy both recorded lessons you can come back to, as well as live, weekly online training.  Graduate on your own timeline.

Inspiration

During this process, we'll tap into your innate coaching abilities in a way that goes beyond intellectual learning. Imperfection and risk-taking are encouraged and welcomed

Heart-Centered

Our training,  just like Talie's approach in her  own personal coaching practice, operates from a place of compassion, empathy, and possibility.

She is personally invested in guiding you through your creation of the career and lifestyle of your dreams.

Connective

Nearly  as important as what you will learn is who you will get the chance to meet.  Supportive relationships and community networking are one of the pillars of our training. 

 

Why CCA is Powered by ICF

Since 1995, International Coaching Federation has grown to become the world’s largest organization of professionally trained coaches, and the leading voice for the global coaching community.

Talie chose an ICF certification for herself, and, also as the methodology in which to certify others, because of:

✅ ICF has, by far, the most International Recognition 

✅ The ICF's rigorous standards

 The comprehensive frameworks for excellence and mastery in the art of coaching.

How ICF Certification Works

The Certified Coaching Academy is designed to be a 12 month process to give you everything you need to qualify for an ACC & PCC ICF Certification.  Our coursework, mentoring, professional practice, and network of support  will prepare you to present all of your completed certifications from Talie, in addition to the other ICF requirements, directly to ICF for your Certificate. We'll walk you through the whole process. 

TRAINING + PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE + ACCREDITATION

Coursework

The CCA is a unique combination of go-at-your-own-pace recorded lessons and live group sessions.  Our curriculum covers the full 125 hrs of required training + your Mentor Coaching.

Mentoring

 
Achieving ICF Certification entails a minimum of 10 hours of Mentor Coaching, which can be a significant investment, typically ranging from $2k-5k. At CCA, we simplify the process, saving you both time and money. Mentor Coaching is seamlessly integrated into our training program, eliminating the hassle of finding a separate Mentor Coach.

Professional Experience

You will get on-the-job experience and support with everything you need for the Certification process.  It is similar to a medical student getting intensive professional experience during their residency.

Performance Evaluation

You will receive guidance in preparing the ICF required recordings. You'll submit two audio recordings, and the corresponding written transcripts, of coaching sessions.  We prepare you to pass this evaluation at the PCC level.

The Certified Coaching Academy was simply created to ignite FREEDOM and IMPACT - both for our graduates and the clients they serve.

We exist to empower our graduates to create FREEDOM financially and in their lifestyles, and IMPACT with the people in their lives - including their new clients.
