Leadership Coach Certification
Research shows leaders who use coaching release greater productivity in the marketplace, reduce employee turnover, and build a culture of forward thinking!
Hi, I'm Cindy Scott, Founder and Executive Director of Bridges Coaching.
I've spent most of my life in ministry and leadership. Talking with influencers over the years, I've noticed a common theme: many leaders see a gap between where their people are and where they could/should be...
Good leaders want to lead well. They feel they should be able to help their people be their best professionally and personally.
They go to conferences, and though they grow relationally there is often not a lasting upgrade to their everyday work environment.
They listen to podcasts or read books, but the concepts remain aspirational rather than affecting actual culture change.
What if there was a better way?
What if you could immerse yourself in coaching culture and come away with a growth pathway for yourself that could be replicated for your organization and provide sustainable results.
When I first discovered coaching it was a game-changer for my leadership.People would come to me sharing their struggles and expecting me to provide solutions. Sometimes it worked, and I could share something of value, but even when that happened, unknowingly, I taught them to come to me rather than to become problem solvers on their own. Sometimes I didn't know what to tell them and felt like a failure, or even worse, I suggested something, it didn't work, and they blamed me for their lack of progress.
That's when I discovered coaching. I found I was "telling " way too much, and not encouraging people to own their own lives - to choose their preferred outcomes, recognize their possible options, and choose potential action steps.
When I started actively listening and asking empowering questions about goals and choices, I felt a release from the pressure to provide answers, and they found the traction they needed!
This simple, but uncommon, paradigm shift changed everything and leveled up my effectiveness as a leader.
Organizational Leadership is enhanced when coaching is embedded in the culture.
Coaching transformed the way I interact with people in my work and personal life - and it can do the same for you.

Ever wonder what good coaching really entails?
Coaching has become a buzz word in today's culture. Some consultants refer to themselves as coaches, some programs call their instructors coaches. And the truth is no one owns the word "coaching", it is used in a variety of ways.
In the coaching certification world the International Coaching Federation (ICF) is considered the "gold standard" in coach training.
Bridges Coach training curriculum adheres to the ICF definition of coaching. Their core competencies are the foundational pillars of our training.
In this certification, you'll learn...
- ...how to feel confident you’re leading people toward the growth and the agency God has for them!
- ...the best way to decrease the time you spend in repeated conversations about the same things over and over, and increase your effectiveness while freeing up more time!
- ...how leaders can often accidentally (and innocently!) sabotage the growth of the people around them.
"Bridges Coach training has given me a pathway to lead with curiosity. This mindset shift has allowed me to enjoy the journey of another person’s life, helping them toward the clarity they need. So, rather than feeling like I need to drive people to a certain outcome, I have learned to guide the conversation toward where the Holy Spirit is already leading them. Taking coach training offered me opportunities in Executive coaching that would not have been nearly as effective without Bridges Coaching.""

"I’ve come to enjoy this idea of listening with curiosity, and also this idea of resetting – helping people hit a reset button from doing what they’ve always done to shape new paradigms. "

Leadership Certification Course Details
Mark your calendars
The three all-cohort online meetings are one of the highlights of the course! Meet your fellow participants and process coaching principles together.
Group Classes will be hosted on Zoom*, and scheduled dates are shown above.
Kickoff meeting
Meet your cohort of up to 7 fellow coach trainees and get a personal introduction to coaching.
Midpoint gathering
This is a pivotal class on your journey toward partnering with those you lead. This class marks the transition from learning about coaching to setting up your first coaching sessions.
Final Celebration
This finish-line class marks the capstone of your coach training journey as we acknowledge your Leadership Coach Certification. Learn final lessons to lock in your coaching knowledge and plan action steps to apply these lessons to your work and personal life.
*Most often, classmates join from distances that would prohibit in-person gathering. If ever a cohort included participants who were all from the same location, and an in-person gathering would be arranged.
Key Components
Peer partner
It can be beneficial to go through the Leadership Coaching Certification with someone in your organization. There can be benefits to learning from someone in another organization as well. It is your call.
Peer Partner Meetings
Along with the 3 all-cohort group classes, you'll meet bi-weekly with Cindy and your peer partner. These meetings will be scheduled during the kick-off class.
Personal Planner Board Coaching Sessions
Two personal coaching sessions will be arranged as you set up your unique Bridges Planner Broad.
Facilitator
Cindy will facilitate all group classes, the peer partner connections, and the personal coaching sessions for the Leadership Coaching Certification cohort.
In addition to the peer meetings, there will be 2 personal planner board coaching sessions.
Coursework
The course was designed with adult learning principles in mind. Along with the teaching videos and text reading, there are guided personal reflections, projects, and online discussions to enhance practical application.
Guarantee: 100% money back*
If you're unhappy with the Bridges Coach Training course during the first 30 days, we will give your money back.
We're convinced coach training will be revolutionary in your life and work. As you apply the skills of active listening and partnering with people as they grow in their personal journey with God, we're sure you'll be thankful for this course.
However, if you enter the program and you realize it's not for you, email our awesome support team at [email protected] within 30 days of signing up. Include a scan of your workbook up to that point, and we'll give you a full refund*.
Now, we recognize we're taking a risk. Not only do we make all our video and printed content available to you immediately, but it causes significant problems to break up peer pairs once they're established.
But we would rather take that risk on ourselves, rather than leave you with any question in your mind whether this is a good investment.
BTW, we ask for a scan of your notebook because we're convinced that if you apply the principles we teach, you'll begin to see growth. We want to know you've taken steps toward honestly applying these principles. If you've done that and we're still not a good fit, we'll refund your money.
We believe in coach training, and we have every reason to think you will as well. If we're wrong, you can have your money back.
