The WABC Accredited® global mark is a program accreditation distinction that ensures leader-as-coach training programs offer the most comprehensive and robust training available in the world. For those seeking training that readies them for real-world business and organizational challenges, no other program distinction compares.
We offer many WABC Accredited levels for maximum training impact – rooted in real-world organizational and business needs – that cover a wide breadth and depth of development in both professional business coaching and leader-as-coach coaching. WABC Accredited (Level 2 – Leader-as-Coach)® is our second and highest level of accreditation for leader-as-coach training programs.
Level 2 – Leader-as-Coach programs develop leaders-as-coaches at certified-level who represent many professional roles (e.g., leader, manager, supervisor). Such programs focus on developing core coaching skills within the context of a leadership role and are for participants who either have had little or no previous experience with coaching, or who already have some leader-as-coach coaching experience that they now wish to consolidate fully with best practice. 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 programs are eligible to earn the WABC Certified Leader-as-Coach™ (CLAC™) credential. The credential is granted by WABC.
In 2007, the WABC Business Coaching Competencies were the first-ever, global association-sponsored evidence-based professional competencies that defined business coaching as a distinct discipline.
Building on our expertise in professional business coaching, the WABC Leader-as-Coach Coaching Competencies is the first-ever, global association-sponsored evidence-based competencies that define leader-as-coach coaching.
