Offering One-on-One Support For Your Certified Leadership & Executive Coach Credential

If you seek an executive and leadership coach training program that shows you how to work with leaders, executives, managers, business owners, up-and-coming-talent, and/or other professionals — and phrases like ‘client satisfaction” “results,” “proven,” “practical,” “real-world,” and “personalized support” are important to you — you are in the right place.

Everything we teach is focused on helping you bring enormous practical value and results to your clients, so that you are successful in turn and feel confident and fulfilled in your coaching practice.

There is no fluff, no academic jargon or endless reading lists, and no pseudoscience. The learning program in Eastern Europe and in Romania gives you the flexibility to learn at your own pace, your own way, and still enjoy all of the practical, client-centered, and results-focused content that sets the Center for Executive Coaching apart. You can join our live sessions with Daiana or listen at your speed to recordings in your member area. You can complete this program in 4-6 months. Simply submit six recordings of you coaching a client, colleague, friend, or member of the program. We review each recording together and by the sixth one our mentoring and support assures that you will demonstrate the competencies required for success in coaching.

By working with a Center for Executive Coaching Master Certified Coach Trainer (“MCCT”), you receive personalized training and coaching to become a Certified Leadership & Executive Coach. Executive Coaching allows you to coach other high-performing professionals to new levels of performance and also bring a coaching culture to your organization.

Your MCCT, Daiana Stoicescu, has completed exhaustive and intensive training in order to be able to offer this program to you. She will take you through a rigorous curriculum that we expect will be a highlight of your career. As you demonstrate competency in key conversations and coaching situations, you receive designated “belts,” similar to the way that martial arts or six sigma process works.

Here’s what some of the participants are saying:

Laura Balaci, Certified Executive Coach says:

“I’ve met Daiana in 2016 while I was searching for an ACTP coach training program for my coaching practice. Looking back I would say that choosing her was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. She definitely exceeded my expectations as a mentor coach and later on, I took the opportunity to know her also as a trainer with The Center for Executive Coaching. I’ve got from her the kind of support I needed and when I needed and somehow she managed to make everything so easy for me. I don’t know exactly how she did this as it all looks so effortless to her while the impact on me and my practice was huge. Beside a lot of knowledge and developing skills, I’ve got trust in the process, the clients and myself which were the most valuable pieces for me and made all the difference. Thank you, Daiana for this priceless experience!”

The English teacher & Career Coach, Florina Arshad, says:

“I met Daiana, as a student, in 2000 at the School of Journalism and Mass Communication Studies where we both started the same journey. She was friendly, open and kind! Therefore 10 years later I dared to give her a phone call to ask her if she wanted to start a new journey with me; this time as Daiana, my coach trainer! The choice was easy, her background education and her expertise along with her other qualities has shaped her in the professional that she is today. Her Dedication to this new field of coaching made me choose this path along with her Ambition to deliver the best coaching services on the Romanian Market. Her Innovative style and her Ability to explain things, to make them look so easy and yet still so professional positions Daiana as one of the best coach trainers in Europe. She brings Novelty and the most valuable quality of her is Adaptability to any person and situation and that is what makes her THE ONE.”

Gabriela Ilie, Leadership & Development International Coach says:

“Daiana its simply one of the best executive coaches in the business. In working with her, I have transformed myself and connected to the capabilities and skills I have always had, but that were largely untapped until I started to work with her. Through Daiana I learned how to make use the energy and creativity I have, in productive ways, as I started and grew my own coaching business. I love her spirit, her clear thinking, her challenging questions, and how she know when to push versus sit back and let me figure it out. If you are looking to learn executive coaching skills, practice coaching, or earn certification as a coach, her coaching school the best in our country and it clearly exceeded my expectations. Daiana has found the formula to create a strong ecosystem for real learning and success. Thank you, Daiana!”

Our content focuses on the key issues that executives face. A few examples of the content you receive include among others: setting strategic direction, engaging and mobilizing employees, building one’s power base of relationships, understanding the politics of making things happen, he behaviors and attitudes of the leader, identifying and reframing limiting beliefs that hold executives back, and eliminating behavioral blind spots that can derail one’s career etc.

The Center for Executive Coaching takes a comprehensive view of the client and of human performance. We start with perceptions, behaviors, and overall ways of being.

Definitely not for everyone

Center for Executive Coaching (CEC) certified coaches undergo a rigorous, ICF-approved training process that prepares them to work with high-profile executives on a range of pressing issues and methods to improve performance. The core of our executive and leadership coaching certification program includes key foundational elements in the following coaching domains: behavioral coaching, transformational coaching, perceptual coaching, and executive career transition coaching. Unlike many other coach training programs, we train our members to address the most pressing problems that executives face, with a strong emphasis on achieving specific, measurable, and aggressive results.

CEC certified coaches have successfully coached executives and leaders from a wide range of companies and non-profits including Fortune 500 companies, major technology firms, healthcare systems, pharmaceutical companies, universities, financial services companies, emerging growth companies, professional service firms, foundations, national and local non-profits, retailers, real estate companies, and manufacturers.

In order to get Certified with us, individuals must demonstrate the following competencies:

1. Follow the International Coach Federation standards of ethical conduct for coaches.

2. Structure an executive coaching engagement with clients for maximum impact.

3. Embody the attitudes of the consummate professional, with an emphasis on integrity, relationships, results, and standing for the client’s most ambitious goals and aspirations.

4. Establish an executive coaching contract with clients to maintain confidentiality and create a safe environment for results.

5. Set specific, measurable goals that bring enormous value to clients and can be tracked for mutual accountability and sustainable results.

6. When appropriate, assess client behaviors and impact by conducting confidential interviews with colleagues (only with the client’s permission and involvement).

7. Ask powerful questions and listen in ways that help clients generate insights about how they can achieve their goals — while also providing advice and mentoring when appropriate.

8. Bring distinctions, tools and frameworks to the client in the following areas where leaders typically face issues: managing time, setting strategy, communicating powerfully, building one’s power base, engaging employees, managing up, building a high-performance culture, assuring accountability, influencing others, navigating the political landscape, making transitions to a new role, managing change, resolving conflicts, and developing one’s career.

9. Develop and share deep, industry- and function-specific tools to help clients resolve pressing problems unique to their current situation.
To get Certified, our members are tested with rigorous simulated coaching sessions covering all aspects of the executive and leadership coaching process, including their ability to handle the many curve balls, challenges, and obstacles that can come up for clients. In addition to the core certification process, most graduates stay involved as active participants in ongoing learning as new knowledge and insights are brought to the program on an ongoing basis.
