Skills in Life Coach Training, Executive Coaching Training, and Career Coach Certification

Which skills will you learn in life coach training, executive coaching training, and career coach certification at the Center for Coaching Certification? An effective coach listens well, understands how to work effectively with different personalities, utilizes the power of language, asks questions, and is ethical.

Listening Skills: Human nature compares what we hear to what we know, so we often miss the real message. Listening well requires removing ourselves from the equation to truly focus on the other person, their frame of reference, their emotions, their thoughts.

Understand Different Clients: Each of us thinks, processes, and decides based on our personality, experiences, knowledge, and perceived options. Each person is truly unique. As discussed in ICF-approved life coach training, executive coaching training, and career coach certification at the Center for Coaching Certification, understanding how to identify the client personality, combined with listening skills, means the ability to understand and accept the client for who they are in the moment.

Language: Often without realizing, our language focuses on the problem not the solution, the negative instead of what we want, and limits understanding. Learning language nuances, effective questioning, and how to engage means the coach enhances the value of coaching sessions.

Questions: telling everyone what to do, how, and when does not work – it is the opposite of coaching. As taught in life coach training, executive coaching training, and career coach certification at the Center for Coaching Certification, effective questioning puts clients in charge of determining priorities, values, options, and course of action.

Ethical: Need we say more? Surprisingly, yes. Taking the time to learn a Code of Ethics, such as the one taught in ICF-approved coach training, means considering others and how we treat them. Ethics make the difference for achieving long-term success.
