Certifications: Coach Certification Foundations

Charge your coaching with emotional intelligence.

What does it take to become a great coach? Through this journey you’ll learn to apply International Coach Federation (ICF) Core Competencies for the essentials of coaching. Strong executive and life coaches know people are not solely rational; lasting transformation comes only when the head + heart + hands work in sync. The EQ Coach Certification is research-backed with case studies, current neuroscience, and best-practices refined over decades of study. You will leave CCF with the understanding and skills to start your coaching practice – plus you’ll be accredited in the Brain Profiles to take your coaching further.

 
Coaches and coaches-to-be join CCF for practical & transformational ways to blend EQ and coaching methodologies.
  • CCF is part of Six Seconds’ EQ Coaching Certification which is an Approved Coach Training Program with 200+ hours from the International Coach Federation.
  • Effectively utilize a wide and deep range of EQ development methods grounded in the latest neuroscience of learning and emotions, so you have a complete system for coaching transformation.
  • Learn a transformational emotional intelligence framework to make coaching highly effective; plus practical tools to provide metrics for growth.
  • As seen in numerous published case studies, Six Seconds tools and methods address a range of organizational and individual needs, from improving leadership at FedEx to strengthening collaboration at Siemens to building client-centered service at Qatar Airways.
