ECT Facts

ECT is delivered in several strategic learning formats, including:

  • Two nine-hour, in-person workshops in Week 1 and Week 9.
  • Eight 1-½  hour online group sessions in Weeks 2 through 8, and        Week 12.
  • Weekly independent reading and exercises.
  • Seven interactive exercises with your peer.
  • Two three-way conference calls with your peer and an observing coach for coaching supervision.

These learning formats are consistent with our belief that lasting transformational learning requires four interrelated components: information, application,  conversation, and observation. New knowledge about coaching is not sufficient for becoming a proficient coach. We also need to practice what we’re learning, talk about what we’re learning with others who are learning the same things, and receive feedback on our coaching.

Our approach to coach training purposefully incorporates all four of these dynamics, so that your investment in your personal development is maximized.

Time Commitment

The ECT lasts a full 12 weeks. You can expect to devote an average of four hours per week to the training, including all group sessions, exercises, and various peer and observing-coach sessions. This time estimate does not include the on-site workshops, your independent coaching sessions, or coaching sessions with your outside professional coach.
