The Deep Coaching Institute’s
Coaching Certification Program
Training human development professionals in the Art, Science and Consciousness of integrating the Enneagram for Embodied Change
Our Enneagram Coach Training Program offers an advanced and unique in-depth learning opportunity well suited for experienced professionals who wish to offer the rich benefits of the Enneagram and the depth of presence-based coaching to their clients. This nine-month program combines intensive distance learning courses, five monthly facilitated small group fieldwork support sessions, participant partnering, web-board discussions, and two live courses.
Our program is well-grounded in Enneagram and related conceptual knowledge, supported by heart intelligence and body intelligence. It is based on the eminently practical and profound nature of presence.
Who Will Benefit from this Program
Experienced coaches, therapists, spiritual directors, health and medical professionals, OD consultants, and other human development professionals who have a foundational understanding of the Enneagram and who are drawn to meeting clients in the vast inner terrain will benefit from the depth, focus, and small-group, experiential nature offered by this training program.
This program attracts professionals with life experience from around the globe who want to bring more consciousness, healing and positive change to the world; and are enthusiastic about confidently integrating the rare wisdom of the Enneagram into their unique business offerings.
Three Fundamental Threads Weave the Tapestry of this Coach Training Program
Our courses and learning experiences build on each other to integrate these three vital elements of the program:
1) Self-knowledge and self-embracing of the coach
A coach must possess an objective, radically honest, and deeply compassionate sense of self in order to function effectively in the coaching relationship. As you increase your capacity for recognizing and honoring your own human condition and essential qualities, you will be able to create a more expansive space for your client’s unfolding. The Enneagram provides a powerful vehicle for examining one’s ‘blind spots’, biases, and agendas, as well as one’s hidden gifts and innate capacities. We ask our program participants to seek honest and caring feedback from faculty, peers, and mentors while in this program and work with the in-depth practice of ‘allowing.’
2) Understanding the Human Condition
We have not discovered a more powerful way to understand, experience and ‘be with’ the vast range of the human condition than the Enneagram. It offers a full continuum from the light to the shadow side of all nine spheres of consciousness (all the types). You will learn to meet clients in their internal terrain and develop more comfort, confidence, and sensitivity in being with your clients wherever they are. Then, real change can occur.
Through your experience, you are asked to drop into each of the states of experience and recognize there is no dualism; there is no “us and them.”
3) Understanding the Change Process
By its nature, clients come to you as a coach because they want change. Your perspective and understanding of the change process has profound implications for how you approach change, the client’s experience when working with you, and ultimately, the client’s relationship to him or herself. When does a change process result in unsustainable results or unintended and perhaps, internalized pain? What kind of change truly frees our clients to experience themselves in a more expansive, truer, liberated way? Our Deep Coaching models offer a counter-intuitive approach to change, that takes a client closer to him or herself. You develop your capacity to be with more of the Unknown, with deeper levels of acceptance and release, and ultimately, with the Mystery that your client is.
