This six-month certification program brings together four important trends in cutting-edge businesses:
One of the most common questions we hear from senior leaders is “how can I be a better coach for my direct reports?”
To meet this growing demand, seasoned executive and leadership team coaches and business operators Kaley Klemp and Sue Heilbronner join forces to deliver a six-month certification program for leader coaches.
Executives, leaders, and managers who want to develop their coaching muscles and methodologies in order to become even more effective in their current roles will gain a sophisticated toolset, new methods, peer-to-peer learning in a stellar cohort, and the chance to practice coaching techniques in direct application to real-world work scenarios.
In our current business climate, successful companies must walk the walk of creating an intentional business culture and offering employees opportunities for personal growth. It is not only possible to be a coach in a leadership role, it is optimal if not critical. So there’s no need to quit your day job: be a coach in your role and “lead like a coach.”
Through this program, business leaders and culture influencers will garner insights, skills, methodologies, practice, and a pragmatic set of tools to provide transformative coaching to internal leaders and team members in their organizations.
In addition to receiving high-touch training from the facilitators, participants will benefit from the exposure to other experienced business leaders in their cohort. Peer-to-peer learning is a continuous and enriching aspect of the blended in-person and remote program.

The program kickoff will be a two-day in-person event in Boulder, CO in April 2025 and we will meet again in Boulder in October 2025 for the live certification culmination program. Monthly remote and individual activities will be scheduled throughout the six-month program.
The 2025 program of Certification for Leader Coaches is open for applications. The cohort size is limited, and applications will be competitive.
The Certification for Leader Coaches is designed for business and other organizational leaders. To participate, you must be in a full-time role with a company, non-profit organization, educational institution, or government. You must currently oversee direct reports.
The program targets leaders who are or wish to be culture influencers; if you are a leader who cares about and can influence growing people on your teams or across your organization, you’ll be an excellent fit.
Although we have had inquiries from executive coaches and we feel grateful for the work those individuals do in the world, there are other programs that are better for coaches.
The six-month certification program is $15,000 plus travel for two in-person sessions in Boulder.
The success of Certification in Coaching for Business Leaders and Culture Influencers depends on the quality and engagement of the cohort. As such, we require a short application for consideration. Please complete this 10-minute survey today, and we will be in touch.
Kaley and Sue have created an excellent structure to dive into conscious leadership and coaching best practices in a both practical and theory-rich way. If you're a leader looking to do the work and level up, I'd highly recommend their program.
Kaley and Sue have a way and an art for how they designed and coached us through each step of the program, and it inspired me to really hone my "zone of genius" when it comes to growing into a leader who has a passion for coaching and developing others.
Kaley and Sue wove together an experience that left me with a deeper understanding of myself and a new set of tools with which to lead like a coach.
I have spent most of my career mentoring or coaching on some level from within companies. However, I was doing it with no plan, tools or true awareness and I'm not sure I have been doing it all that well. I left this program with a clearer understanding of how and when certain tools should be utilized, how to shift employees who are stuck in repeatable patterns, and how to help others see their own way forward.
