Deepen your practice and expand your toolkit with a curated collection of evidence-based coaching techniques, frameworks, and methodologies.

ABOUT THE CERTIFICATE

The Coaching Tools Certificate is a two-day intensive program. It is a perfect follow-up to the Coaching Skills Certificate, or for newer coaches looking to building on foundational coaching skills, this program equips you with a rich repertoire of practical tools and frameworks that you can begin applying with clients from day one.

This program is delivered live and virtually, with limited cohort sizes to ensure every participant receives direct expert feedback and meaningful peer practice time. Led by AoEC-accredited faculty, the learning is experiential throughout — you practice each tool in live coaching conversations with fellow participants before the session is done.

PROGRAM CONTENT

Across two full days, you will explore and practice a curated range of coaching tools and frameworks drawn from psychology, neuroscience, behavioral science, and systemic thinking, including:

• Psychometric and diagnostic tools — how to introduce and integrate assessments (values inventories, strengths profilers, 360-degree feedback) purposefully into a coaching engagement

• Goal-setting and visioning frameworks — moving beyond GROW to access motivation, identity, and aspiration at a deeper level

• Cognitive and behavioral tools — practical approaches from cognitive behavioral coaching (CBC) and solution-focused practice to help clients shift limiting patterns

• Somatic and embodiment tools — body-based awareness techniques that invite clients to access intelligence beyond the purely cognitive

• Systemic tools — methods for helping clients explore the wider relational and organizational systems in which they operate

• Tools for working with emotion — building your confidence to work with feeling and energy in the coaching space

The SPARC Coaching Tools Certificate is taught by faculty of The Academy of Executive Coaching in the U.S. (AoEC). AoEC is a global leader in executive coach training and is among the most accredited coach training providers in the world.
