As a Certified Cognitive Coach you will develop your awareness and coaching skills for working with issues on thoughts, emotions and behaviours. You will develop as an agent of change and transformation.
Cognitive Coaching is based on the idea that metacognition, or being aware of one’s own thinking processes, fosters independence in learning and practice. By providing personal insights into the client’s own thinking processes, Cognitive Coaching builds flexible and effective problem-solving skills. Plus, it encourages self-confidence, self-efficacy and pride.
