Relationship Coach Specialist (RCS) Certificate

This certificate program requires a minimum of 40 hours of coach training as well as the two courses listed below, and is designed specifically for professionals who want to specialize in relationship coaching.

Relationship Coaching with Couples
This is the first course which meets for 12 hours. This eight-week course builds on the learning from the Foundational course and provides a coaching model and structure for working with couples who want to create more fulfilling relationships in their lives. The format for the course includes discussion of course materials and assigned readings, live coaching to demonstrate different ways to apply the learning with clients, and practice coaching outside of the scheduled class time. The course meets weekly for 90 minutes.

Participants will:

• Gain an in-depth understanding of a conscious relationship coaching model for working with couples
• Design a coaching alliance with each client/partner and with couples
• Create a personal vision with client/partner as well as a shared relationship vision with each couple
• Utilize Mirroring technique for effective communication
• Establish and implement an action plan with couples to achieve the relationship vision
• Gain a greater understanding of the role of coach in working with couples, particularly being authentic and present; and ways to "'self-manage" during your coaching sessions with couples.

Advanced Relationship Coaching Skills
This is the second course of the RCS Certificate, which meets for eight hours over six weeks. The course provides participants with an opportunity to practice in greater depth the relationship coaching skills learned in the second course. Each meeting will involve live coaching with either an actual couple or a role-play situation designed to assist participants in gaining greater confidence and competence in relationship coaching.
