Mentor Coaching With a Focus on Trust and Safety

Support clients with a strong foundation of partnership and trust.

New for 2027!

The Core Competency Intensive courses are aptly named. While these lab-style courses address all coaching competencies and the full coaching process, each CCI course provides an enhanced focus on one critical area of coaching competence – in this instance, Trust and Safety. The coaching partnership is unique in supporting a safe space for clients to not only share, but explore, and building trust is at the heart of the engagement.

This fresh course explores how language, co-creation, and partnering creates the foundation, and follows the format of all of our Core Competencies Intensives Courses

  • Delivered in a seminar/instruction/lab format.
  • The centerpiece of each class is an authentic coaching session with students in the coach and client roles.
  • Time to check-in on the challenges students are noticing in their own clients
  • Classes are recorded for review (or in case you have to miss one)

Although our Mentor/Lab courses are designed to support students who are working to secure a credential, you do not need to be pursuing coach certification to take or benefit from this course.

Our mentor/lab-style courses are open to CAT foundation graduates. We also welcome coaches trained elsewhere (who have 60+ hours of coach-specific training and 100 paid client hours).
