Professional coaches are learners, always developing and learning. Coaching supervision is an excellent way to stay fresh, current and learning.
Our Passion
We are committed to strengthen a coach's ability to deliver deeply fulfilling and result-oriented coaching to their clients. This is accomplished through examination of the coach's relationship and embodiment of each of the core competencies.
As coaches, our aim is to continue to learn and grow personally, as well as professionally. We have a deep desire and commitment to continue to cultivate skills that enable us to be even more effective with our clients, within our communities, and in our own lives.
We also strive to create trust by acting consistently with what we say. We are our word. We know our strengths and our boundaries. We can embody compassion while having difficult conversations. We can also be depended upon to make ‘tough decisions’ when necessary. The Core Competencies encourage these skills and offer strong pillars, not only for coaching, but also for recognizable and effective leadership.
Our directors, Merle McKinley (based in California) and Claudia Salas (based in Mexico City), are professional coaches who have joined forces to provide CCE programs, mentor coaching, and coach supervision.
The Code of Ethics course and mentoring are available in English and Spanish.
Our programs use a collaborative learning style that provokes thoughtful discussions and new awareness for the participants. Each session includes somatic exercises and new practices to ensure each participant leaves with newly embodied knowledge of the Core Competencies.
Our promise to you:
- You will increase your ability to deliver deeply satisfying and result-oriented coaching.
