Coaching to Advance Leader Development™
Are you being CALD?
ICF Level 1 Coach Education Program
​
Coaching to Advance Leader Development (CALD) a rigorous, human-centered coach education program designed for professionals who want to develop strong, ethical, and impact-driven coaching capability aligned with the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
​
At LEADZ, we believe coaching is not about checking a box or a "perk"; it’s about unlocking a constellation of skills, values, and strengths that ripple outward into organizations and communities. When you join CALD, you join a constellation of catalysts who are setting a global standard for what coaching can do. You will be welcomed into a collaborative community from diverse lifestyles and experiences, looking to expand their possibilities.
The CALD program is intentionally designed to meet ICF Level 1 requirements, yet exceed them to advance your cadence towards the Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential. This program will take you beyond technique.
Joining CALD you will:
-
Develop a strong foundation in the ICF Core Competencies and Code of Ethics.
-
Learn to coach with presence, integrity, and cultural awareness.
-
Apply coaching skills beyond 1:1 conversations into leadership, teams, and organizational systems.
-
Build confidence as a professional coach through practice, feedback, and reflective learning.
-
Obtain an ICF Level 1 (ACC) training certification.​
This cohort will run virtually. Participants are required to be on video with audio during classroom hours. ​Time will be provided for lunch (for a full-day session only) as well as planned breaks throughout the instructional time, as needed.
