    Summit Coach Training, with Pinnacle Leadership Associates

    VariousOn-line

    Pinnacle Leadership Associates is launching Summit Coach Training to equip coaches who will guide others as they grow into the persons that God has called them to be.  All classes will be offered in an online format and taught by credentialed coach practitioners.

    Students completing the four required courses successfully will receive our in-house certification--Summit Certified Life Coach (SCLC).  Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are available to those who request them. Hours can be applied toward a professional coach credential.  Pinnacle is applying for all courses to be ICF Approved Coach Specific Training Hours (ACSTH) but all hours taken will qualify for the ICF Portfolio track for ACC certification.

    Basic Commitments of Summit Coach Training

    • Recognizing that every person is a unique creation of God, and we will encourage each student to live into their special calling with passion and intentionality.
    • We adhere to and practice the International Coaching Federation Code of Ethics.
    • We will use the ICF Core Competencies (updated October 2019) and the ICF Definition of Coaching as the basis of our teaching and training.
    • We will adhere to the ICF Program Accreditation Code of Conduct.
    • We will practice a coaching mindset in our teaching and training and seek to instill that perspective in our students.
    • Although we will accept all qualified students, we are specifically interested in equipping leaders in churches, judicatories, and faith-based organizations to use coaching skills in their present and future settings.
    • We will assist students to apply a coaching mindset in their present place of service.

    * The International Coaching Federation (ICF) is the leading global organization dedicated to advancing the coaching profession by setting high standards, providing independent certification and building a worldwide network of trained coaching professionals.
