With our industry leading Empowered Business Coach Training you will confidently break through the boundaries of traditional coaching to deliver transformational results for the organizations you serve.
Ten years ago, we asked ourselves the following question: What separates top-tier business coaches from those who struggle to gain their footing in the corporate coaching space?
What we found is that the most highly sought after business coaches have mastered what we now call
The Four Coaching Cornerstones.
These Cornerstones Are:
Strategic Curiosity
High Impact Scaffolding
Seamless Toolkit Integration
Infrastructure Implementation
The Empowered Business Coach Training is specifically designed to help coaches expand their expertise within each of the Four Coaching Cornerstones.
During this 12 week training we cover:
Strategic Curiosity
World Class Coaches tap into Strategic Curiosity to get leaders thinking about things they’ve failed to think about before.
This approach guides the client to reflect deeply, examine and uncover blind spots, shift perspectives, find clarity in the face of complex challenges, and gain confidence in the steps they want to take in order to achieve their desired outcomes.
Strategic Curiosity leads to transformational breakthroughs.
It allows clients to get to the deeply rooted struggles that they and their organizations are facing.
It ensures that coaching sessions bypass surface level, generic chatter that sounds like “how are you today and what do you want to work on’ and gets right to the deep and truly human aspects of the world our leaders are navigating.
Strategic curiosity leads executives back to you over and over again because after your time together they feel seen, understood, clear headed, and deeply supported.
This is the most human-centric cornerstone in all of Business Coaching.

High Impact Scaffolding

World Class Business Coaches lean on their scaffolding to ensure that the work they’re doing is strongly aligned with the overarching goals of the leader and their organization.
This structured approach ensures that coaching sessions do not become meandering conversations full of pontification or excessive short term fire-fighting calls. Instead, leaders are ushered along the identified pathway with accountability for advancing towards their larger, longer term goals.
High Impact Scaffolding leads to measurable and lasting organizational results.
It allows clients to intentionally define what success looks like, thoughtfully design the desired pathways, experience the accountability they need to stay focused, and feel the energy that comes from small incremental wins along the way.
This framework and the tangible impact that it has will solidify your role as a trusted partner and strategic advisor.
High Impact Scaffolding ensures clients return to you not only because of the immediate solutions you provide but also because they see your coaching as essential to achieving their long-term vision.

Seamless Toolkit Integration
The art of delivering the perfect tool at the moment it will have the highest impact.
World-Class Coaches master Seamless Toolkit Integration by recognizing the exact moment a tool is needed to help clients re-frame their thinking, organize ideas, or solve pressing challenges.
These tools aren’t just given—they’re applied with precision and purpose, tailored to meet the immediate needs of the leader while supporting broader organizational goals.
Seamless Toolkit Integration allows clients to experience “aha” moments when they need them most. The impact of a well-timed tool is amplified, helping leaders achieve clarity, shift their perspective, and unlock new paths forward.
This cornerstone transforms coaching into a dynamic and adaptive process, ensuring clients feel deeply supported by solutions that are practical, relevant, and immediately actionable.

Seamless Toolkit Integration is what separates coaches who simply “know the tools” from those who know how to apply them at the perfect moment to create transformational results.

Traditional coaching programs believe that you should leave your corporate expertise at home, become a blank slate for your clients, and keep your experiences to tucked away.
But we know that the most successful business coaches have done quite the opposite.
They embrace their corporate expertise.
They modify traditional coaching techniques to have more impact in the business world.
And, most importantly…
They confidently play at the intersection between coach and expert, which is where the real magic happens.
