The Performance Neuroscience Coaching Certification helps you master the craft of coaching and become an expert in flow science so you can sign dream clients, build credibility and deliver incredible results.
The Performance Neuroscience Coaching Certification is the world’s leading training for service providers who want to coach, teach and train others in the science of peak performance and flow states.
"What makes Flow Research Collective important is that they put all flow tools into the hands of coaches. They are quantifying the tools and turn them into really usable methods. "
There Are Four Phases To The Program:
Over twelve weeks, you’ll master the world’s most cutting edge, science based strategies for coaching clients to reach flow and peak performance. It’s digitally delivered in simple daily chunks so you can learn easily, anywhere.
You’ll have access to a PhD level psychologist or neuroscientist coach over twelve weeks. This serves two functions. First it’ll help level up your own game. Second they will coach you on how to coach others and integrate what you’re learning with what you already know.
Every week, our Peak Performance Instructors facilitate live group coaching sessions. Imagine being plugged into a community of world class coaches and consultants.
We’ve synthesized everything we know about coaching flow and peak performance into one framework. This framework includes everything you need to begin coaching immediately, from exercises to questions to protocols.
Too many coaching certifications don’t require you to produce anything of value. That’s not the case here. You’ll produce your own, original piece of work, under the guidance of our PhD level trainers. You can then use whatever you create—a coaching framework, a speech, a course—within your own practice.
Upon graduation, you will be awarded 40 Continued Coaching Education credits by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). There are many routes towards ICF Certification depending on where you are in your coaching education and experience. CCE accreditations are designed for supplemental and continuing education for those wishing to acquire new learning and professional development. We fully support participants interested in using these credits to pursue the ICF Portfolio Path for credentialing. Visit coachingfederation.org for more information
