ICF-Approved Coach Training Programs Designed to Change Minds, For Good.

Coaching With a Neuroscience Focus

The Academies is on a mission to “Change Minds, for Good” through our neuroscience-based, ICF-approved coaching programs. We understand how important an ICF-accredited coaching certification is for advancing a coaching career. That’s why we offer comprehensive, brain-friendly courses thoughtfully designed to equip you with the knowledge, guidance, skills, and strategies you need to empower yourself and your clients in order to achieve successful outcomes.

Our coach training courses are rooted in neuroscience using evidence-based methods. Our foundational and advanced courses emphasize connection, collaboration, communication, critical thinking, psychological safety, and leadership development — all of which are essential components of effective coaching.

Why Choose Our Brain-Friendly Coach Training Programs?

In our mission to “Change Minds, for Good,” we’ve been training coaches for 25+ years, and we’ve spent the better part of our last 15 years gobbling up the latest research on neuroscience to create our brain-friendly Red Zone | Blue Zone Model, the foundation of our coaching courses. 

We believe respectful relationships and authentic conversations are the incubators for insight, action, and lasting change. We believe that every brain is wired for growth and capable of choosing well. We stand for growing our individual and collective capacity to feel good, think good, encounter good, and create good. If this resonates with you, you’re in the right place. With that being said, connection is one of our core values, which is why we invite you to get to know more about The Academies and meet our world-class instructors.
