There are coaches who teach coaching.

And there are coaches who have coached at the highest level in the world, and then teach it.

The difference is everything.

When Lina Cherry walks into a session, she is not teaching from a textbook.

She is teaching from decades of coaching executives at MCC level — the highest credential the ICF awards to less than four percent of coaches globally.

When Susan Andah facilitates, she is not explaining what a powerful question looks like.

She is showing you what it feels like to ask one.

And when I facilitate, I am drawing on over two decades of coaching inside organisations and watching what actually shifts — and what does not.

MCC is not a title.

It is a standard.

Most coaching programmes are taught by people who are good at teaching.

This one is facilitated by people who are exceptional at coaching.

That combination is rare.

And it changes what is possible in the room.

You are not just picking up skills.

You are absorbing a standard.

A quality of presence you cannot get from a manual.

You get it from proximity to someone who has it.

Don’t miss it. 👇

I have spent 28 years developing people.

And the one thing I know for certain is this.

The quality of your coaching is only ever as good as the quality of your training.

The kind of training that is rigorous. Supervised. Internationally accredited. And delivered by coaches who have done the work themselves at the highest level.

That is what this is.

The CoachMasters Academy Foundational Advantage Programme is the certification starter track for the ICF; the global gold standard for professional coaching.

It is for the HR professional who wants to be more than a process manager.

The manager who wants to stop giving answers and start growing people.

The leader who is ready to lead at the level their role now demands.

The aspiring coach who wants to build something real — not just add letters after their name.

If that is you, the next cohort starts sooner than you think.

The people who change organisations are not the ones who waited until they felt ready.

They are the ones who made the decision.

Day 1 of 5 ✨

And we’re off!

There’s something powerful about bringing leaders into a room to pause, learn, reflect and have the conversations that can ultimately shape how their teams experience leadership.

Today was Day 1 of a five-day leadership training, and we’re already getting into the conversations that matter: people, teams, culture, leadership and everything in between.

Because better teams start with better leadership. 🤍

Four more days to go. Let’s do this!

Coaching does not just make you better with your people.

It makes you sharper.

Because you cannot help another person think more clearly until you have learned to do it yourself.

Most leadership programmes teach you what to do.

This teaches you who to be in the room.

And that distinction is everything. 💡

Before you hire your next external coach, read this.

When was the last time someone genuinely pushed back on your thinking?

If you can’t remember, that’s the answer. 👇

Abiola Orojo | Alex and Jefferson Consulting

Have you ever felt trust shift in a room? What caused it?

Good questions create better thinking.
Better thinking creates better decisions.
Better decisions build stronger, more trusting teams.

Leadership is not about having all the answers.

It is about creating the conditions where the best answers can emerge.

What is one question you wish your leader asked more often?

Drop it in the comments. I want to build a list we can all learn from.
