Watching everyone else coach was a great learning experience."

"The 44-hour intensive workshop has been the best workshop I've ever attended. Not only did I grow professionally, but I grew personally as well. The faculty is obviously expert in their respective fields and very generous in their teaching and personal interactions. In addition, CEC provided a safe and trusting atmosphere in which to learn."
—Regina Josell, Psy.D., Highland Heights, Ohio

"When I first arrived I was a little skeptical about the program yet as the days went on it was like a flower that was blossoming more and more each day until it fully bloomed. Like that garden there is a lot more work to be done for me to fill it with these flowers of knowledge."
—Karen D. Sacks, MA, Boca Raton, Florida

"This workshop was personally and professionally beneficial. The faculty's knowledge and willingness to give extra time and input to us was extraordinarily gracious. The audio and video presentations were initially intimidating but really so much fun!"

"This has been an extraordinary opportunity to learn from both faculty and course participants, to share the vision of coaching as a profession, to move towards competency and self-actualization in a safe environment."
—Maria J. Barosso, M.S., Caracas, Venezuela

"This is the very best school in Executive Coaching that there is. The instruction is of high caliber as well as the staff. In addition to the excellence of the didactic experience, the College is motivated by a high level of ethics and commitment to the community and to the world at large. Personally, it was a transforming, peak experience for me. I highly recommend it to anybody who is highly trained already, who is committed to improve himself/herself, and who has a heart. It cannot get better than this."
—Anonymous, Boca Raton, Florida

"It was an experience of personal, professional and spiritual growth. There was not a portion of the six days that was not engaging, beneficial and powerful."

"These workshops increased my confidence in my ability to coach. I learned excellent techniques and benefited greatly from interactions with my peers. The whole program has been extremely worthwhile – I have made an excellent choice with CEC!"
—Anonymous, Boca Raton, Florida

"This course offered incremental and consistent concepts, theories, and approaches to use as coaching tools throughout the coaching process. The case studies, "real-life" scenarios, and interactive homework with other students provided learning through knowledge, practicum and experience. I found I was able to implement these building blocks we learned along the way of our sixteen-week telecourse, progressively improving my skills and "tool chest" along the way. This is a truly effective way for people to be actively involved during the learning process and to attain a higher level of coaching skills absorption. Thank you Jeff! I look forward to the opportunity to take another telecourse in the future."
—Sharon Maher, MS, Benicia, California

"This course provided very practical and useable information in a well organized way. I compared several "coach" training programs and selected the College of Executive Coaching not only for the content and quality instructors but also for its solid foundation based on a high level of ethical standards. With so many programs and certifications for coaching available and so many people calling themselves "coach" – the College of Executive Coaching has its roots firmly planted in the soil of integrity. For sixteen years we've based our business on "integrity" (if you don't have integrity – you have nothing) – the College of Executive Coaching meets our criteria."
—Steve Varga, MA, San Antonio, Texas

"I found this class to be very helpful in deepening my knowledge of what it means to be a coach in the practical sense. I learned many new techniques that I have successfully put into practice. I learned a tremendous amount from the other participants and their willingness to share their experience helped me see how coaching is different than counseling. This course has furthered my excitement in making this career shift. I am looking forward to continuing on. This is a very solid program."
—Nancy Sayer, MS, NCC, Naperville, Illinois

—William Shearer, Ph.D., Redlands, California
