This approach is used across executive and leadership coaching, career transition, team development, and coach training. Certification in Creative Intelligence (CQ): An ICF-approved certification for coaches and human development professionals. • 20 Continuing Coach Education (CCE) credits (13 Core Competency, 7 Resource Development) • Self-paced, structured for completion • Immediate application in client work • Includes a capstone demonstrating real-world integration Designed for practitioners who want more than insight, the program provides a repeatable way to help clients think clearly, get unstuck, and take meaningful action in complex situations.
