Coaching in the Climate Crisis: A Certificate in Climate Coaching

Supporting you to walk into tomorrow more equipped and with greater clarity as to how you, as a coach, can bring the climate crisis into your coaching practice. 

This three-day, accredited virtual programme is designed to both support you in enhancing your own self-awareness as a coach, whilst considering how you can bring the climate into coaching conversations and raise climate awareness in your clients.

Upcoming dates:

What you will learn

This programme is built on the AoEC climate coaching competencies of systemic thinking, coach as disruptor, behaviour change, and insight and self-management.

Within this context we will explore how to be a climate conscious coach; how to have a coaching conversation around climate change; how you can help others have a conversation around climate change; and how and when to introduce climate change into your existing coaching. This programme will also introduce you to a selection of climate coaching models and tools, and consider how to align your own coaching practice with the climate crisis.

Each of the three modules will integrate climate coaching practice and feedback, helping you to develop your competence and confidence when bringing the climate crisis into coaching conversations.

By the end of this programme you will understand how each of the climate coaching competencies informs your own practice, and how to be a climate conscious coach.

How you learn

You will be introduced to the latest models, tools, and approaches to climate coaching, but you will also work a lot on yourself: both as a coach and as a human! This work around insight and self-management allows you to embody the climate coaching mindset and stand by your client. Your learning is supported through demonstrations, daily small group coaching practice, and opportunities to establish and maintain connections with nature.

The programme comprises three modules over three days. The modules are scheduled to allow time for reading and reflection between each day. We also encourage you to initiate climate coaching conversations between days one, two, and three to apply your learning and build your experience.
