Co-Active Coaching

CTI's Co-Active coaching model is a proven approach based on many years of experience working with clients and coaches world wide.

The Coaches Training Institute (CTI) was founded in 1992. Today, CTI is the largest in-person coach training organization in the world, delivering courses in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. CTI offers a comprehensive training program for coaches that includes a highly regarded Certification program. 

CTI's Co-Active Coaching is an ICF Accredited Coach Training Program.


Co-Active coaching is about effectively empowering people to find their own answers by tapping their inner resources, and encouraging and supporting them to make ongoing life changing choices.

Co-Active coaching is a form of conversation with inherent ground rules regarding certain qualities that must be present: respect, openness, compassion, empathy and a rigorous commitment to speaking the truth.

There are certain assumptions underlying the conversation as well. Co-Active coaching assumes strength and capability, not weakness, helplessness, or dependence. Co-Active coaching assumes a deep desire to give the best and achieve potential.

A Co-Active coaching conversation has the beliefs built into it that every situation has possibilities and that people really do have the power of choice in their live.


The 3 core principles of the Co-Active model are Fulfillment, Balance, and Process.

Fulfillment is about living a life that is valued, purposeful, and alive.
Balance is about choosing a life that is in action, aligned with a compelling vision.
Process is about the internal experience, about what is happening in the moment.
