Changing people, transforming lives

The Co-Active model focuses on the individual as a whole, not just one aspect of their lives. As a result, it does not compartmentalize people. It sees everyone as multifaceted and dynamic.

By applying Co-Active techniques in your professional environment as a coach, leader or co-worker, you gain the ability to address any topic that is relevant to others. For coaches, that means providing powerful, personalized coaching to your clients. For leaders and co-workers, it means meeting the needs of others more effectively, so you perform optimally together.

Maximize your impact and enable others to discover their true purpose with the world’s most flexible, proven coaching model at your fingertips. Here’s what to expect in the Fundamentals course:

  • Learning the cornerstones of the Co-Active coaching model
  • Acquiring a versatile range of effective communication and coaching skills
  • Building a solid basis for further Co-Active training and certification

Co-Active Intermediate
9.4 / 10

"For me, the strength of both programs (Co-Active & ORSC) is that you get to understand what happens in teams, between people, in groups and in organizations. Plus you learn how to apply it in your work to implement change, in the teams and within people.  I use Co-Active for both teams and individuals. Getting to know the values of a person or a team, gives so many interesting insights and provides added value in making choices. And I use certain ORSC methods not only for teams, but also for individual coaching."

“I'm more confident now, and it's not just because I have some important new skills, but that I've benefitted from the safe space the Co-Active model provides to be 100% yourself, without apology. Now, I'm successfully making a leap professionally and as a person.”

“Taking Co-Active courses are a great way to get to know and recognise yourself. Even if you don't want to become a coach. It's a great way to get in touch with yourself and live a more fulfilled life.”

"I often wish I had discovered it earlier, when I was working in leadership roles. How much stronger could I have been as a leader then?"

“The framework of the Co-Active Model allows people to delve into deeper issues and do it in such a way that’s not intrusive, and without coming across as if you have all the answers. You can create a healthy dialogue where both people come away feeling like they’ve taken ownership of the ideas that have emanated from the conversation.”


Ashok Ramji Hedge Fund Research Analyst
Co-Active Intermediate
9.8 / 10

“I realized that when I used the learned skills at work. I was learning how to show up more as my authentic self with my direct reports. The reaction that I got back from them was just how much more engaged in the conversation I was. In the past I would already have jumped past what people were saying to me.”
