  • What is the Certified Connection-Centred Transformative Coach (CCTC) certification?

    The Certified Connection-Centred Transformative Coach (CCTC) is CCI’s advanced-level professional coaching certification. It's designed for coaches who already have a strong foundation in core coaching skills and want to deepen how they work with people, not just what they work on.

  • In addition to more advanced techniques and approaches, CCTC expands the coach’s capacity — to stay present with complexity, work with identity and emotion, and facilitate meaningful, sustainable change.

    This is coaching beyond surface-level problem solving. This is coaching for transformation.

  • How CCTC builds on CAC

    CAC establishes professional coaching competence. CCTC expands range, depth, and flexibility.

    In CAC, the focus is on:

    • coaching structure
    • ethical practice
    • core competencies

    In CCTC, the focus shifts to:

    Section image

    Coaching the whole person to facilitate lasting transformation

    Section image

    Working with identity, values, and inner patterns

    Section image

    Responding skilfully to emotion, resistance, and uncertainty

  • This is not just about being a “better” coach. It is about meeting a wider range of human experience with presence and skill.

  • Connection-Centred Transformative Coaching

    CCTC is grounded in CCI’s Connection-Centred Transformative CoachingTM methodology. This approach integrates three interrelated dimensions:

    Section image

    Nurturing Nature

    Working with values, purpose, strengths, and identity — supporting who the client is becoming, not just what they are doing.

    Section image

    Shifting States

    Working consciously with perspective, embodiment, and inner state — enabling new choices, energy, and action to emerge.

    Section image

    Integration

    Helping clients translate insight into lived change, commitment, and aligned action.

    These dimensions inform how coaches listen, intervene, and hold presence throughout the coaching relationship.

  • What you'll develop

    Through CCTC, you’ll develop the ability to:

    • coach beyond content into identity and meaning
    • notice and work with emotional undercurrents
    • use embodiment and state-based awareness skilfully
    • reflect back patterns and implicit material
    • stay present with ambiguity and not-knowing
    • facilitate insight that leads to sustained change
    • be conscious about how you are as a coach, not just what you do.
