Program Overview

Well-Defined Coach-Consultant™ Certification

The Well-Defined certification, developed by industry leader Kurt André, has been evolving for over 20 years to meet the demands of today’s fast-paced, ever-changing world. This program integrates the latest coaching principles, strategic consulting models, and decades of experience to produce elite coach-consultants. Well-Defined Coach-Consultants are known for their ethical practices, self-leadership, and competitive edge, offering an expanded skillset that distinguishes them in the marketplace.

Why Become a Coach-Consultant?

In a world of constant disruption, a hybrid model of coaching and consulting is essential for true impact. Being solely a coach limits your reach and income potential, while being solely a consultant hinders your ability to connect deeply with clients. A coach-consultant leverages both disciplines, blending coaching’s people-centered approach with consulting’s strategic insight. This allows for more flexibility, effectiveness, and long-term success.

Certification Structure

The Well-Defined Coach-Consultant™ Certification takes a holistic approach, ensuring you develop the key qualities needed to excel in both coaching and consulting. The program is divided into three comprehensive modules:

  • Module 1: Character
    Cultivate the characteristics that define a Well-Defined Coach-Consultant™.

  • Module 3: Content
    Access tailored content to drive value in your coaching and consulting efforts.

Sales & Marketing Mastery

The certification also includes a proven sales and marketing formula developed by best-selling author Ted Olson. Designed specifically for coaches and consultants, this formula empowers you to attract and win ideal clients without off-putting sales tactics. The program is broken into two parts:

  1. The 4-Step Marketing Formula™

FAQs

What is a coach-consultant?

A coach-consultant is someone who leverages the discipline of coaching with the strategic thrust of consulting. Why does this matter? Because in practice you need both skills to more effectively help your clients. Being “just a coach” limits your reach and earning potential. Being “just a consultant,” limits your effectiveness with the people you are leading.

How is this program different?

There are three ways this program is different from traditional coaching certification programs:

1) It combines the art of coaching with the strategy of consulting, creating more opportunities for you to generate income.

2) It’s fast. Just 10 weeks. It’s purpose-built to get you in the field coaching, consulting, and earning money.

3) It includes the critical building blocks of sales and marketing so you can grow a viable practice.

What will I learn in this program?

The soft skills and competencies to be an effective coach, the strategic skills to be a consultant, and the sales and marketing skills to grow a profitable coach-consulting practice.

Will I get a certificate?

Yes. Upon completion of the course you will get a personalized certificate with your name, as well as a certification badge you can use on your website, social media, marketing materials, and email signature.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes. If you complete the program and feel like you didn’t get the value you expected, we’ll provide you the same value in personalized, one-to-one coaching. You should feel good about this investment in yourself.

Is 10-weeks enough time to learn?

“Time” is less important than “effectiveness.” This course has been designed by educators to maximize learning through bite-sized videos, focused reading, experiential learning, and follow on materials. Coaching and consulting is a practice. You can achieve milestones and start generating revenue, but the learning is ongoing.
