GENERATIVE COACHING 2025-2026 ONLINE CERTIFICATION
Bring your coaching skills to the generative level.
In these unprecedented times, the need for new solutions to emerge has never been more vivid. Generative change means creating something beyond what has ever existed, whether in personal or professional life. It is not merely a cosmetic change, but a contextual shift that allows new levels of mastery. Generative Coaching assumes that reality is constructed, and that this creative process can be mindfully engaged for positive outcomes. To do this, a person’s state of consciousness is the difference that makes the difference: The outcomes a person produces are only as good as their state. Generative Coaching teaches you how to build the generative states needed to make dreams come true. It then focuses on how to maintain these states in dealing with whatever challenges arise on a creative journey, so that new and meaningful results can occur.
The core focus in Generative Coaching is creativity: How do you create a successful and meaningful work life? How do you create great personal relationships? How do you develop a great relationship with yourself—your body, your past, your future, your wounds, and your gifts? These are the basic challenges in leading an extraordinary life, and Generative Coaching offers a way to succeed at them.
The practical core of the training is the 6-step Generative Change process: (1) Opening a COACH (generative) field, (2) Committing to an intention/goal, (3) Developing a generative state, (4) Taking action, (5) Transforming Obstacles, and (6) Continuing to Grow and Change. Each training module is organized around the 6-step process, with each module progressively deepening coverage of each step. The last day of each module features an assessment with the 6-step process, thereby ensuring increasing capacity to competently practice Generative Coaching.
