Executive Coaching: A Two Piece Puzzle
​
​
​
​
​
​
 
Becoming a successful executive coach is a two-piece puzzle:
 
  • Coaches must possess the foundational knowledge in the Executive Mindset: how to guide and support leaders to powerfully effect personal and professional change.
 
  • And—equally important—the coach is the CEO for their own practice, responsible for knowing how to effectively establish a high-value, sustainable practice.
 
The APEX Executive Coach Certification Program + Vision to Action© Practice-Building Program supports the emerging coach to address both essential puzzle pieces.
​
​
​
​
Coaching Leaders with Confidence
​
The APEX EXECUTIVE COACH CERTIFICATION is an intensive, 1:1 Virtual  eight-module training designed for emerging (new) coaches and consultants to receive a thorough introduction and activation of the core concepts to begin their Executive Coaching journey.
​
Focused on foundational strategies and structures paired with experiential practices that are unique to the corporate coaching mindset, the certification offers participants the opportunity to quickly understand, and confidently navigate, the unique dynamics of the corporate/executive coaching ecosystem.
​
​
Building a Profitable Coaching Practice
​
Unlike many certification programs, APEX Executive Solutions recognizes that knowledge is simply one powerful piece of a two-piece puzzle. Emerging coaches want—and need—to know how to build a thriving, profitable, authentic executive coaching practice.
 
To address this need, the APEX EXECUTIVE COACH CERTIFICATION includes the VISION TO ACTION© Practice-Building Modules.
 
The VISION TO ACTION© PRACTICE-BUILDING Module is an eight-module activation of the Executive Coach Certification Program, and is designed to bridge the gap between knowledge and growth.
 
By taking small, consistent daily actions over the course of eight  activation modules, the emerging coach/consultant confidently and systematically moves from VISION TO ACTION©—with invaluable coaching support—in order to build to a high-value, sustainable practice.
