What our participants say
IMD Certificate in Executive Coaching participant Kelly Wragg

Executive Coach, Switzerland

I have a clear direction for my coaching career
Not only did I gain cutting-edge training on how to coach leaders, but the program’s approach of ‘coach, observe, and be coached’ transformed me as a person. Before, I was coaching intuitively, wasn’t very confident and was filled with uncertainty about where I fitted in this field. I am now confident in my capabilities and skills and have a clear direction for my coaching career. I am also part of a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about making a positive difference in the world.

It gives you the right tools

The program really provides you depth in terms of methodology. It gives you the right tools, but as well, it exposes you to the ICF accreditation. It’s very valuable to have that official recognition in today’s world of coaching.

The program was life-changing

For me, the program was life-changing. Previously, my focus centered solely on coaching techniques and frameworks. I discovered that to unleash the extraordinary in others, I first had to unlock my own potential. It’s the only coaching program I’ve attended that provides 360-degree personal support, with coaching, mentoring and supervision. By evolving into a better version of myself, I forged a distinct coaching philosophy that deepened the relationship with my coachees and accelerated their success.
