Description

Our coaching training programme introduces you to the fundamental themes that you’re likely to encounter when coaching on the topic of climate change. You’ll join Emily and Ruma, two experienced coach facilitators from our team and up to 23 other trained coaches* for 8 live group sessions over 15 weeks. 

Over the course of the curriculum you’ll discover how to apply your coaching skills to inspire and create climate action in your clients. 

* we also accept therapists and facilitators who are conversant in core coaching skills. If you’re unsure if your experience is the right fit, email us…..

What will you get?

  • Six live group sessions covering the fundamental topics you could encounter when coaching in this context, including teaching and practical coaching demonstrations. You’ll also learn by observing, being coached and coaching yourself in breakout rooms.
  • One practical coaching skills lab to road test your learning in a collaborative way that allows you to try new things in a playful environment. 
  • One practical business lab to reflect on your ideal client and how you can land climate change coaching in your business – there’s no one right way to do this.
  • A comprehensive 60-page workbook with all the teaching notes, plus coaching questions and additional resources to broaden your knowledge
  • A free copy or our book: “Climate Change Coaching – the power of connection to create climate action” by Charly Cox and Sarah Flynn
  • Optional homework and coaching practice to deepen your learning between sessions
  • Access to video recordings of each session for 3 weeks after the course ends
  • A supportive environment led by two experienced facilitators bringing together like-minded peers in a community of practice to explore climate change coaching together
  • A certificate of completion and 17 ICF-CCEUs (12 Core and 5 Resource Development)

Who is this course for?

This course is a continuing education programme for trained coaches and therapists/facilitators conversant in core coaching skills. This course does not certify you as a coach as we do not cover core coaching competencies in the curriculum. The programme is designed to teach you how to apply your existing coaching skills to the context of climate change, and deepen your coaching toolkit with approaches and techniques to have more impact with your clients.

Can’t afford our course but want to develop climate change coaching skills?

Fee-free places

As part of our commitment to develop coaches from all over the world, we are offering 2 fee-free places on every cohort to coaches in countries normally less represented on our programmes, who want to coach people where they live.

All of our work is about putting coaching into the hands of climate leaders, to inspire action that changes systems. Climate leaders in the global south often lack that kind of support and we know that the most effective kind of support comes from someone who shares their context.  

Our aim with this scholarship programme is to increase the ability and capacity of coaches in the below regions, who find it difficult to cover the costs of such a training, so they can go on to support and increase the impact of their local climate leaders.

You are eligible if you are:

  • – a trained coach
  • – based in Africa, Asia (excluding Japan and Korea), Latin America/Caribbean, the Pacific Islands or the Arab states
  • – unable to pay for your place and able to demonstrate why that’s the case
  • – coaching (or wanting to) coach climate leaders where you live and can demonstrate your commitment to using your new skills with climate leaders in your country/region after this  course
