Our Program
This Cognitive Behavioral Coaching (CBC) program provides a practical, evidence‑based framework adapted from decades of research in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and tailored specifically for the coaching environment.
CBC focuses on the dynamic relationship between thoughts, emotions, physiology, and behavior, equipping coaches with structured tools to support meaningful and sustainable client change.
Through a combination of theory and practical application, participants develop skills to help clients recognize and shift limiting thinking patterns, regulate emotions, and implement goal‑directed behavioral strategies.
The program emphasizes real‑world application, enabling coaches to address common challenges such as procrastination, confidence, communication, and assertiveness, while also equipping clients with practical tools that foster growth, enhance performance, and support ongoing professional development.

Syllabus
1
Introductory Session
In this module, we will introduce the foundations of the Cognitive‑Behavioral Coaching approach, including both the relational aspects of the coaching partnership and the core concepts underlying the various interventions. We will explore the three “waves” that make up the cognitive‑behavioral field
2
Behavioral Interventions
This module introduces core principles of behavioral theory and explores their relevance within a coaching context.
Topics include classical conditioning, operant conditioning, modeling, and their application in coaching practice. Additional topics include positive reinforcement, building behavioral hierarchies (gradual exposure), systematic desensitization, imaginal exposure, and incorporating allies.
3
Psycho‑Physiological Interventions
This module focuses on the physiological channel and its integration into the coaching process. Topics include key physiological systems, relaxation techniques (breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and guided imagery), and their application in coaching. The section also introduces imaginal exposure, a core component of cognitive-behavioral training. Experiential exercises are included.
4
Cognitive Interventions
This module introduces cognitive training approaches drawing on the foundational work of Aaron Beck and Albert Ellis.
Topics include the development of the approach, the stance of the coach, the coaching relationship, and key concepts such as automatic thoughts, cognitive traps, cognitive case formulation, Socratic dialogue, and core schemas based on Ellis’s framework. The section includes both theoretical learning and practical exercises.
5
Emotion‑Focused Interventions
This module focuses on coaching skills related to emotional processes and their role in human experience. Topics include emotional mechanisms and change processes in coaching, basic concepts in emotional regulation, and characteristics of dysregulation. Core emotional skills covered include understanding the function of emotions, identifying and labeling emotions, emotional intensity and mixed emotions, distinguishing emotion from sensation, thought, and behavior, and practicing pausing and observing.
6
Case Conceptualization
and Case Presentation
Case conceptualization clarifies the interactions between thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, and behaviors, and how these processes maintain a client’s difficulties. A clear conceptualization provides the foundation for developing a focused and collaborative intervention plan.
In this module, participants will present coaching cases to the group, followed by facilitated discussion and feedback. Together, we will examine how cognitive-behavioral coaching tools were applied in each case and how they supported the coaching process.
