About Executive Coaching Certification As more organizations include coaching strategies as part of their executive development initiatives, the need for competent, certified executive coaches has soared. The Sherpa Certification for Executive Coaching will teach you to be an effective executive coach through mastery of the six-phase Sherpa Coaching process. You will learn skills and techniques necessary to enable others to achieve professional success. Marshall Goldsmith, the "world's top executive coach" says: "The Sherpa process lets people learn the difficult art of coaching, and gives them the freedom to apply it in their own way." Upon successful completion of this 60-hour program, you will earn the designation of Certified Executive Coach from Sherpa Coaching LLC as well as 6.0 University of Georgia Continuing Education Units (CEUs). The Sherpa Executive Coaching process is based on the book The Sherpa Guide: Process-Driven Executive Coaching by Brenda Corbett and Judith Colemon; classes are taught by Sherpa Guide authors Brenda and/or Judith. The Sherpa Guide is a book packed with actionable items -- tips and techniques for the coach to use with any client. A signed copy is included with the program fee. The book sets the standard for "how to coach" books, and for the field of coaching itself. Marshall Goldsmith says: "Corbett and Colemon are the next generation of world leaders in coaching." Program details are subject to change.

The model for the Sherpa executive coach is the Himalayan guide. Of all mountain escorts, Sherpas are the most knowledgeable. They help climbers choose a course and reach the summit. In the same way, Sherpa executive coaches advise, provide tools, and share knowledge of the best path for their clients to follow. The Sherpa Philosophy for Leadership Development Peoples' strengths take them to leadership positions, but only by addressing weaknesses -- those obstacles that prevent leaders from getting to the next level of success -- can they continue their way to the top. Sherpa coaches are skilled at turning weaknesses into new strengths. Like Sherpa mountain guides, Sherpa coaches guide, advise and assist, allowing leaders to reach the summit through their own skill and will.
