with Christopher Cooke
During the training you will:
  • Learn the 8 principles of human emergence and how they expand your coaching lens
  • Recognize different value systems (codes) and apply this awareness to client work
  • Use Human Change Theory to understand why clients get “stuck” and how to guide them through transitions
  • Practice with diagnostic instruments (surveys, mapping) to create deeper insights for clients
  • Develop the skill of reframing – pressing pause and helping clients see challenges from new perspectives
  • Strengthen your own systemic and developmental thinking, making your coaching more precise, impactful, and transformational
The program is grounded in over 20 years of adult development research (Clare W. Graves), the Spiral Dynamics model, and Christopher Cooke’s international practice. It uniquely connects theory of human change with practical tools you can apply directly in your coaching practice.
The program is also certified with the International Coaching Federation (ICF), allowing you to count your learning hours towards professional credentialing.
