"The goal of coaching is the goal of good management: to make the most of an organization's valuable resources." - Harvard Business Review

Coaching skills training is the single most powerful way to train managers and leaders in the fundamental competencies proven in research to impact high performance.

Over the last decade, more than 11,000 coaches, leaders, managers, trainers and consultants have developed coaching skills and leadership competencies by attending the Co-Active programs designed by the Coaches Training Institute (CTI).

CTI's founders were in an early collaboration that dates back to the very beginning of coaching as an industry. CTI’s “Co-Active Coaching” Model grew out of coaching senior executives in the workplace 14 years ago. The roots of Co-Active Coaching have always been in the application of how coaching skills can be used to release the best in the people around us and to enhance their performance at work.

CTI has experience working with a broad variety of organizations--from large corporations to small businesses. Join the many companies who have experienced the impact Co-Active Coaching can have on a corporate environment.

CTI has provided Co-Active Coaching Skills training to a host of organizations including IBM, Cap Gemini Ernst and Young, Prudential UK, Marriott International, Herman Miller, Boeing and The Walt Disney Company.

"Co-Active coaching changes who people are at work...and gives them the pragmatic skills needed to create value alignment and high performance." Don Semmler, Senior Vice President, Southeast Region Marriott International, Inc.

CTI’s GENESIS .....

Over the last decade, more than 11,000 coaches, leaders, managers, trainers and consultants have developed coaching and leadership competencies by attending CTI’s Programs either through our open courses, or through privately held customized internal trainings.

CTI's founders were in an early collaboration that dates back to the very beginning of coaching as an industry. CTI’s “Co-Active Coaching” Model grew out of coaching senior executives in the workplace 14 years ago. The roots of Co-Active Coaching have always been in the application of how coaching skills can be used to release the best in the people around us and to enhance their performance at work.

As a leading-edge school of coaching, our founders' involvement with the coaching industry and ICF from its very inception has resulted in a significant influence on the industry, including much of the framework adapted by the ICF to represent coaching competencies. Indeed, CTI became the very first organization to be accredited by the International Coach Federation ICF (www.coachfederation.org).

Our training programs have been held primarily in person because we believe that participants must experience a rigorous and challenging personal experience with a great deal of real and hands on practice, which is only possible in person. We also conduct all our workshops with two co-leaders and a small class size, to ensure the personal attention and individualization of the experience.

The enthusiasm and ensuing positive word of mouth of our graduates has enabled us to become one of the largest coach training organizations in the world. No matter where you are in the world, the standard of training is consistent and exemplary. We have the largest, most highly trained faculty of course leaders based across Europe, USA and Japan, providing a consistent, unmatched high standard wherever they deliver the program – be it UK, Europe, Asia, Middle East or the Americas. All leaders are professional Certified Coaches as well as highly experienced course leaders. We believe our industry is still only in its infancy and that huge opportunities for significant impact on our world are still ahead.

What makes us different….

• CTI's coaching curriculum is designed to integrate Co-Active coaching competencies deeply in your being rather than in your head, so that you can be responsive in the moment to any situation you find yourself in.
• Throughout our history, what has differentiated us is a belief that both the being and doing of coaching are equally important and a stubborn refusal to offer shortcut, cookie-cutter menus and techniques for "doing" coaching.

What do we mean by that?…

• Being involves clarity of intention, beliefs, vision, calling, motivation, and inspiration. It requires being truly present both with yourself and others, and noticing the rich unspoken information "between the lines" and in the space.
• Doing includes techniques, processes, and actions.
• Once you are consciously aware of and choosing who you are being, your doing has much greater impact. At CTI we enable you to harness the power that comes from integrating the two.
