7 Reasons to Choose Erickson Coach Training

What Is Solution-Focused Coaching?Coaching is a creative partnership with your client aimed to design and implement

specific, meaningful changes in your client’s personal and professional life.

Solution-FocusedMoves your client towards their desired future outcomes, instead of concentrating on past experiences or reasons for present dissatisfaction.

SystematicEmphasizes the holistic nature of your client, seeing how positive change can fit into their bigger picture.

Client-CenteredAllows you to trust your client’s inner resources and skills, respecting their agenda and future outcomes. Coaching is an advice-free zone.

Action-OrientedPursues transformational change in specific, inspired steps that lead to fundamental shifts in attitude, behavior and habit formation.

Solution-Focused Coaching SkillsThese new skills are the cornerstones you need to start coaching people to reach their full potential.

Creating Trust With OthersCoaching provides a safe and supportive environment that produces on-going mutual respect and trust. As a coach, you will learn how to quickly build rapport with your clients using simple yet powerful tools such as backtracking.

Bulletproof Goal SettingCoaching opens the door to a new, extremely powerful kind of goal setting. Coaches are outcome orientated, always evaluating if a client is on track and taking action to reach their goal.

Going Beyond Just HearingCoaching goes way beyond just hearing what people are saying; it stretches into syntax, tone of voice, and body language. Active listening is an incredibly important step towards better communication skills.

Designing Positive ActionsCoaching systematically explores specific concerns and opportunities that are central to the client’s agreed goals. Real coaches empower their clients to identify positive action on their own.

Really Powerful QuestioningCoaching is only about moving forward, not looking backward. As a coach, you will use open-ended questions every day to evoke discovery, insight, commitment and action that moves your clients forward.

Assuring AccountabilityCoaching instills long-term positive change. Coaches use precise time management tools to promote your client’s self-discipline. Changing attitudes and behavior to reach agreed goals is significantly easier when accountability is present.

Marilyn Atkinson On What Excites Her About The World Game

MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER, MARILYN ATKINSON At any given moment in history, at particular locations on the planet, a few specific people and groups can be identified as being on the cutting edge of thought and skills, doing the most advanced work of the time in vitally important areas.

Erickson Coaching International is one of these advanced learning centers.In chaotic times, education must include the skills of leadership and vision. It must include practical methods for bringing visions and values into reality on daily approaches to problem resolution. It must include training in the abilities to utilize events that look like failures as power boosters towards reinventing excellence. It must include a deep understanding of the courage and vulnerability required to lead a distinguishing life.

Erickson Coaching International was founded on a number of empowering models of consciousness which express the intrinsically whole and self-healing qualities of a human being. Solution-Focused Coaching training provides a vision and methodology based on these models. This offers students and clients a direct path to shift communication and creativity paradigms quickly, while pulling individuals toward their creative frontiers.

These models, combined with a deep belief in the human growth potential, represent a specific and detailed map of human behavior and relationship, and consequently offer extremely effective pathways for personal, organizational and community expansions.Every program at Erickson implicitly embeds transformation and accelerated learning within the course content. Students are challenged towards dynamic self-improvement and contribution in the world as ownership is gained over this knowledge.

Through this challenge, leadership ability is the fundamental result.

“The world that we have made as a result of the level of thinking we have done thus far, creates problems we cannot solve at the same level at which we created them.” – Albert Einstein
