Learn to Coach From the Heart

Heart Coach Method™ is an advanced continuing education program designed to help trained coaches integrate the wisdom and skills of the heart into their coaching. You'll explore presence, emotion, intuition, empathy, compassion, trust, connection, inner guidance, and other heart-centered skills that can deepen both who you are as a coach and how you work with your clients.

Heart Coach Method™ provides 24 ICF Continuing Coach Education hours. [When/If approved, we will list is as 12 Core Competency Hours and 12 Resource Hours]

No. You do not need to hold an ACC, PCC, or MCC credential to participate. Heart Coach Method™ is designed for coaches who already have foundational coach training and want to deepen their skills and expand the way they coach.

The course is designed for flexible, self-paced learning through the HCI Online Learning Center. You'll receive video instruction, experiential exercises, coaching practices, exclusive Heart Coach Method™ teachings and tools, and additional course resources that you can complete on your own schedule.

The course itself is asynchronous, but it includes 3 private mentoring hours with an HCI Mentor. You can schedule these mentoring sessions as you move through the program according to the course guidelines.

Heart Coach Method™ is accredited for 24 education hours, but it is not a "24-hour course" that must be completed in one sitting. You work through the online learning experience at your own pace and schedule your three mentoring hours separately. Once you sign up for the course, you will have one year to complete it. 

You'll learn how to deepen coaching presence, listen from the heart, work more confidently with emotion, strengthen intuition, cultivate empathy and compassion, build greater trust and connection, and access the heart as another center of wisdom alongside the mind. You'll also learn practical tools and heart skills you can integrate into your coaching practice.

Most professional coach training understandably focuses on coaching competencies, techniques, structure, and what a coach does. Heart Coach Method™ explores another dimension: who the coach is being and what becomes available when the heart is fully engaged in the coaching process.

For many experienced coaches, the competencies are already there. Yet they still sense that something is missing. Heart Coach Method™ is designed to help you explore that missing dimension and bring greater depth, connection, intuition, and heart into the skills you already have.

Yes. You'll explore how heart connection can strengthen your ability to recognize and trust intuitive impressions during coaching. You'll learn to distinguish the quieter wisdom of intuition from the analytical mind and discover how intuition can deepen your awareness of what may be emerging in the coaching conversation.

Yes. Emotion is one of the central gifts of the heart and an important part of the Heart Coach Method™. You'll strengthen your ability to remain present with emotion rather than rushing to fix it, bypass it, or move the client away from it. You'll also explore the distinction between regulation and resolution and learn approaches that support deeper emotional awareness while remaining within the appropriate scope of coaching.

Yes. Heart Coach Method™ is designed to be experiential and practical. You'll learn tools, practices, questions, and heart-centered approaches that can begin influencing the way you listen, connect, notice, and coach as you progress through the course.
