Reviews

"A Transformational Experience"

The Executive Coaching Institute Program at the Haas Business School provided me a most positive and profound effect upon my Professional Executive Coaching career. All of my expectations were not only met, but exceeded. If you are interested in taking your coaching practice to the next level, this course is a must! However, come prepared to contribute 100%.

- Winston Copeland

"It was a transformational experience for me. It gave us the opportunity to feel what it's like to be vulnerable, learning new skills and dropping the masks. It reminded us of the value of staying connected to one's authentic voice and expressing it with gusto. The practicum sessions were held at excellent companies. The faculty was amazing--diverse with deep experience in a variety of fields. The diversity of participants added to the richness--some will be lifelong friends."
