As a person who loves to problem solve and suggest solutions, I was surprised at how quickly I was able to learn the skill of coaching someone in a way that they could come up with their own solutions. The content built up in a logical manner but in a way that sparked creative thinking and outcomes. I highly recommend Maslow Centre for Executive Leadership's program for anyone interested in honing their coaching skills.
Angela Champ, President, Lean In Canada
Over the years I have participated in many coaching programs; This coaching program outshines them all. The coaching techniques (I’ve) learned over the past years in no way compares to the "value-add" techniques learned in this program. The skill building provided over this 8-week period is a wonderful learning experience. I would highly recommend this program to others.

The learnings and the practice (in Module 1) were honestly transformative – I built a new muscle and new awareness of myself as a coach and leader.

One of the best leadership courses I have ever taken! I loved learning something new every week and being given time to put it into practice in coaching with my peers. There are two things that Tim said during the course that will stick with me for years to come: "We need to hold our employees capable" and "Is it time for resolution or a revolution?"
