"Extremely helpful in understanding executive profiles and increasing my awareness of good ways to work with them."
"This program provides good grounding in three common psychological issues of executives AND the opportunity to really look at what is provoked in you as a coach/consultant when working with clients who have these issues. You will become more comfortable dealing with extreme, complex cases."
"Having been an executive coach for roughly a decade, I am almost embarrassed to confess that I had never studied common personality disorders. I came into the program thinking I would leave being able to better “diagnose” certain challenging clients so as to know whether or not they needed support that was outside of my realm. I did learn about some predictable personality patterns, represented in extremes, that I can now identify with more confidence. But even more valuable was learning how to recognize and work with normal yet similar patterns and themes that live in all of us. Through our own case studies and with faculty support, we got a lot of practice and support in using our own data (counter transference) to inform our work with regard to these very natural themes. I left with not only with more knowledge, but also with a deeper understanding of how to use myself in relationship to all of my clients, and of course, some insight into my own patterns for continued growth. This program was so rich that I left wanting to start over and do it again and I begged for a follow up session. Quite frankly, this program should be a prerequisite to coaching credentialing."
