Phase 1 Training

The Foundation Path: Core Skills for Coaching Success

At CoachPath Academy, coaching is a skill set you acquire, a way of being you grow into, and keep growing for the rest of your life.

Our training is grounded in timeless coaching principles, deep listening, and authentic human connection. Each phase builds upon the last, guiding you to become not just someone who “does coaching,” but someone who embodies the presence of a coach.

Step Into Coaching With Depth and Purpose

Most introductory programs will teach you what questions to ask or how to follow a script. But at CoachPath, your journey begins with something deeper.

In Phase One, you’ll learn the core skills and language of coaching, while also beginning to transform how you show up in every conversation. Through structured feedback, guided practice, and an emphasis on ethical presence, you’ll discover that coaching does not require you to have all the answers. Rather, you will cultivate the kind of presence that helps others find their own answers and direction.

In learning the fundamentals, you begin stepping into who you are as a coach.

What Makes CoachPath Academy Phase One Different

At CoachPath Academy, Phase One is your journey to becoming a coach with depth, credibility, and support. From the very start, you’ll be immersed in a program designed to grow you as both a coach and a human being.

1. Grounded in the Core Competencies

Your training is rooted in the ICF Core Competencies; the global gold standard of coaching. From day one, you’ll learn the language and framework that professional coaches around the world rely on to guide transformational conversations. This ensures you are practicing coaching skills and building them on a solid, ethical foundation.

2. Guided by Legends and Fresh Voices

Our faculty includes pioneers who helped shape the coaching profession from its earliest days, bringing wisdom, experience, and hard-won perspective. But we don’t stop there. Alongside these legends, you’ll also learn from rising thought leaders in coaching; younger voices who bring fresh energy, diverse perspectives, and real-world relevance.

The result is a learning environment that’s rich with history yet alive with innovation, never old, stuffy, or overly academic.

3. Your Signature Program Project

One of the biggest challenges for new coaches is knowing how to market themselves once training is complete. That’s why, in Phase One, you’ll create your own Signature Program, a unique offering you can take to the world the moment you graduate.

It’s practical, it’s personal, and it ensures you hit the ground running with something you can confidently put in front of potential clients.

4. Personal Development That Creates the Evolution of You

At CoachPath, we believe the most powerful coaches are those who have done their own inner work. That’s why personal development is woven into the fabric of Phase One.

As you learn to coach others, you’ll also experience deep shifts in your own life: greater clarity, stronger confidence, healthier boundaries, and a new way of seeing yourself and the world. These changes stay with you, shaping how you live, lead, and coach for the rest of your life.
