The WABC Accredited® global mark is a program accreditation distinction that ensures programs offer the most comprehensive and robust leader-as-coach coaching training available in the world.
WABC offers a range of program accreditation, and WABC Accredited (Level 2 – Leader-as-Coach)® is our second level of accreditation for leader-as-coach coaching.
Level 2 – Leader-as-Coach is for programs that develop certified leaders-as-coaches. Such programs develop core coaching skills within the context of a leadership role and is for participants – leaders, managers or supervisors at any level – with no or limited formal focused training in coaching who wish to integrate coaching skills as part of their leadership skill set. We identify practice in this context to be the application of coaching skills, with appropriate recognition of the imbalance of power held by them and individual team members, with the goal of supporting the development and empowerment of others and improving performance in the delivery of strategic business and organizational goals and objectives. Graduates of these Level 2 programs are eligible to receive the WABC Certified Leader-as-Coach™ (CLAC™) credential.
