"The Coaching for Organizational Excellence Certificate program is outstanding - I can't say enough good things about it! I regularly used the tools and techniques I learned in class the next day at work. The facilitators were great, too. They really took the time to understand our needs and they had a genuine interest in helping us succeed. I highly recommend this program to managers at all levels, trainers, and anyone else in your organization who is committed to their own and their team's growth and success."
- Eric Perkins, The Learning Center at Mission Federal Credit Union

Spring 2008 Courses

Success, Performance, and The New Science
This course is a dynamic, hands-on exploration of the theories, philosophies, success formulas, and tools that are being promoted and used by executive, business, and performance coaches, leaders, and success gurus, to help people and organizations achieve goals (often financial), increase performance, and experience satisfaction and joy.

What theories have scientific support and which ones don’t? Is there evidence for the “Law of Attraction?” We will provide a top level introduction to the science that supports these theories and success formulas and we will identify those that fall into the category of spirituality and religion. Topics include quantum physics, chaos theory, neuroscience, biology, and psychology.
