You'll "unlearn" as you develop a coaching mindset. Coaching requires a patient, curious mindset that is unwaveringly "in service" of your client. That often requires unlearning the rapid problem-solving skills that often have produced career-long success for you in other roles.  

You'll build upon the best of management consulting and adult education. You'll untangle the complex challenges that confront executives today. That's why Rutgers has partnered with Heidrick & Struggles, the premier provider in leadership consulting services, to conduct our state-of-the-art coach training sessions.

You’ll join a tight network of leadership coaches. Your value as a coach grows by sharing insights, gaining new perspectives, and ongoing learning opportunities -- with our alumni and advisors in the field of executive and leadership coaching. 

You’ll earn the most respected credential in Leadership Coaching. Benefit from a certificate from the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and Rutgers, where we’ve been training leaders since 1766.

You'll leave as a team energized to help people. Leadership Coaches are guided by shared passion for service. As you share your own coaching "brand" on the final day of class, the energy in the room is electric. You all know and feel that you're part of something bigger than your selves.
