Next Level Coach Training IS the path forward
Grow with us!?
Bridges Coaching is growing and Next Level Coach Training represents a fundamental shift moving forward for you personally, and/or with the Bridges network.
Bridges is truly becoming the network we dreamed it could be. Coaching courses are now being led by alumni trained through Bridges as the network grows and others carry on the legacy of Coaching Culture. The future of Bridges Coaching hinges on how well we equip next level leaders in their coaching journey. This course is a deep dive into understanding the coaching core competencies and then walking out those deliverables in the mentor coaching assessments. This course will truly take your practice to a next level.
Next Level Coach Training is the next step for Bridges certified coaches who want to level up their coaching skills, and the next step for potential facilitators who want to work in the Bridges Coaching network.
This course is for leaders who want to:
- facilitate coach trainees in the Coaching Culture certification course
- offer Destiny by Design
- be listed on the Bridges Coaching Associate Coaches page
Through NXL you will be seeped in the coaching core competencies that move toward credentialing.
It is the pathway for everyone who wants to be an influencer in the Bridges Coaching community, and/or the Coaching community at large.
This course covers all the coursework requirements for ICF/CCNI credentialing. Building your coaching portfolio pathway in addition to receiving the required mentor coaching hours are the first steps toward an ACC (and/or CCC) credential while adding valuable skills and additional legitimacy to your coaching career. For coaches and coach trainers who want to make coaching a significant part of their future focus, credentialling is, in my opinion, the best way forward.
Mentor Coaching
by Melissa Chaplin, MCC
There's so much in this deep dive course that I'm excited about, and at the top of the list is your opportunity to be mentor coached by a Master Coach.
An ICF Certified Master Coach is the highest level of credentialing available! Each credential master coach undergoes rigorous assessment and is required to have 2,500 hours of experience coaching! Melissa has been coaching for nearly 20 years and has a passion to go along with her expertise in faith-based coaching.
We've found an amazing combination of encouragement, a standard of excellence and an offer of growth in Melisssa's approach. Her insights will help upgrade your coaching skills to a next level! To hire a master coach of this level privately for mentor coaching would easily be over $1000, but mentor coaching is included in the cost of this course.
Mentor Coaching scheduling is first come first served!
Melissa is scheduling now for the next cohort
The CHRIST Model
by Dr. Walt Hastings, DMin, MCC
I first met Walt as I was exploring credentials with CCNI. He talked me through his assessment of my recorded coaching session and I can honestly say that during that process he taught me more about coaching than I had learned in any other training I've taken.
Dr. Hastings has since written a book outlining a pathway Bridges has adopted to hit all the markers of excellence in coaching. During his publishing process, he has given limited permission to Bridges to use his work. We've found the CHRIST model to be a comprehensive tool for organizing an effective coaching conversation.
Thank you Dr Hastings!
Each cohort is limited in size - 8 maximum

Note about ICF or CCNI credentialingc: Next Level Coach Training does not guarantee you credentialing. This course, when coupled with the coach training you received in the Coaching Culture certification course, adds up to the 60 training hours required for the ACC/CCC level. You will need to go through the application process upon completion of NXL and submit a record showing at least 100 hours of client coaching experience as well as submit a sample of your coaching through a recorded session. More details are available on the International Coaching Federation or Christian Coaching Network International websites.
