Leigh-Ann Webster - NCCHWC

The National Consortium has embarked on a path toward national training & education standards, coach certification, and a collaborative coaching research strategy.

michaelaspen1In 2010, co-founded and co-led by Real Balance GWS CEO, Michael Arloski, the National Consortium for Credentialing of Health and Wellness Coaches (NCCHWC), comprising 75 industry and academic leaders, all volunteers, came together to build standards and legitimacy for the role of professional health and wellness coaches across the healthcare, allied health and wellness spectrum. A second important agenda is to integrate basic coaching skills into the work of all health professionals who assist patients struggling with lifestyle-related chronic disease.

Five years of NCCHWC volunteer collaboration and consensus building, following best practices, has delivered a national certification for health and wellness coaches, and national accreditation of health and wellness coach training and education programs, to be launched in 2016

Pre-requisites:  Completion of either the individual resilience coaching class or Dr. Bennett’s “Resilience and Thriving” facilitator training are preferred but NOT required prior to registration for this class.

This certificate training is for those professionals within either a human resource, wellness, health, or coaching-related professions. Students will acquire skills and tools for assisting individuals and organizations to enhance their resilience and thriving capacity.

The Resilience-to-Thriving Organizational Coaching course is designed primarily to:

The course is formatted as a seminar with students presenting reading summaries in each class. We also use a peer-to-peer “mock” case study. Students will pair up with another student and take turns completing assessments and coachsulting each other through those assessments.

Note. The course materials can help students to expand their perspective and develop tools to assist clients who are in managerial or leadership positions. This is ideal for a person working in an organization or one who wants to in the future.
