The International Power Coaching Alliance is proud to launch a revolutionary new way to coach clients, called Power Coaching.
What exactly is Power Coaching? It is a new way of coaching that we believe is going to change the coaching industry. Power Coaching is a blended model of coaching and consulting.
Here are some key characteristics of Power Coaching:
- The power coach uses his or her consulting expertise in a certain area to offer different ways to think about challenges
- Uses effective goal-setting through the use of outcome, performance and process goals to achieve results
- Must have an area of expertise to be a Power Coach

This 6 month course will be broken into 18 classes, which will run 90 minutes in length. Courses will run once a week for 3 weeks of the month, with the fourth week designed for recovery and growth. The rest week has been strategically designed to allow the course participant to have some time to reflect on the course content and to put the theory into practice.
What will you get out of the Power Coaching class?
- A new way to coach your clients that will produce deeper traction and quicker, sustainable results.
- Course materials, including class workbooks, articles, books, assessments and recordings.
- Accessibility to course instructors in between the classes for questions, clarification, and support.
- All of our instructors are Power Coach Certified and have been using the Power Coach approach in their own practices with great success.
- Once you have completed the Power Coaching course, you will be certified as a Power Coach. Once you are certified, you are certified for life. Unlike many coaching certifications that are out on the market today, you will NEVER need to be re-certified as a Power Coach. The International Power Coaching Alliance will NEVER ask you for additi onal fees once you have been certified. Any revisions or updates to course materials will be provided to you for FREE.
- The International Power Coaching Alliance has a FREE Client Referral Service. Once you have been certified, your name will go into our database of Power Coaches. The International Power Coaching Alliance is committed to matching our Power Coaches with suitable clients based the coaches area of expertise.
