The four-module IMD Executive Coaching Certificate journey on the tech-advanced Lausanne campus fortified my coaching craft through cutting-edge thought leadership, scientific rigor, and an expert, caring community. It was 10 months of deep learning, extensive practice, and inner transformation, guided by the program directors. By gaining science-based tools, deep self-insight, and ICF-credential readiness, I left empowered to thrive and empower others, trust the process, own my value, and keep learning.

Under the extraordinary leadership of the program directors, and with the unwavering support of my designated coach and mentor, I was guided with insight, care, and a deep belief in my potential. This journey was far more than the acquisition of tools or techniques – it was a profound transformation. I now offer this power of transformation to others: not just guidance, but partnership. Not just goals, but meaningful growth.

For me, the program was life-changing. Previously, my focus centered solely on coaching techniques and frameworks. I discovered that to unleash the extraordinary in others, I first had to unlock my own potential. It’s the only coaching program I’ve attended that provides 360-degree personal support, with coaching, mentoring and supervision. By evolving into a better version of myself, I forged a distinct coaching philosophy that deepened the relationship with my coachees and accelerated their success.
Length: 10-month journey in 4 modules.
