Great coaching transcends knowledge and procedure. It’s about developing awareness and insight, deepening our understanding of both self and others, and empowering and supporting clients toward true transformation and success.

 

For aspiring coaches, it is important to know that not all coaching methods - or coach development programs - are equally effective.

 

Whether you’re seeking a career shift or looking to enhance your current path, Lodestar’s Professional Coach Development Program is the most comprehensive, experiential, leading-edge approach available. 

 

Lodestar’s approach is uniquely

effective for these times. 

 

At Lodestar, we know that great coaching is rooted in trauma-responsive engagement skills and attributes that disrupt toxic stress before it becomes embodied as harm. These skills create the conditions that allow clients to shift into creative engagement, problem solving, and planning. 

 

We offer the only professional coach training accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) in which you will also meet or exceed all requirements needed to earn ACC certification from the International Coaching Federation.

 

Lodestar trainings are industry standouts through our commitment to:

 

1. Trauma-responsive skill development with engagement strategies that scaffold and support participants as they navigate both emotions and challenges. 

2. Evidence based practices and coaching theories backed by research, neuroscience, and leading-edge communication and pedagogical strategies. 

3. Cultivation of presence through explicitly developing both-and (polarities) thinking as a discipline to navigate complexity, coach across difference, and generate sustainability.

4. Emphasis on belonging through the intentional development of inclusion practices in coaching, exploration and appreciation for coaching differences.
