What coaches have to say

Pinar Basaran

What separates GCG certification programs from other programs?

I've previously attended other leadership trainings, but I wanted to bolster my professional career as a coach with a more sophisticated leadership coaching program and started looking for one.

And I believe I made the perfect choice.

As coaches we know that leadership is not just about "what you do" but about "who you are". Because people lead from "who they are". This program is a perfect
blend of technical leadership skills building process, while providing an abundance of insights on the inner workings of shifting mindsets. The program fully involves you in the learning process through Live Practice Labs. And this reminded me of one of the best quotes: "Tell me and I forget, Teach me and I remember, Involve me and I learn"!

What is the best aspect of the certification program?

The material was outstanding, the content was in depth but at the same time very methodical in a step-by-step approach. I would highly recommend this journey of becoming a GCG certified coach. For me, the most memorable aspect was engaging with the GCG coaching community from all over the world was an added bonus.
