The program is practical and straightforward, building on real-world leadership issues and challenges; and providing highly effective tools. Using a multi-dimensional training approach that includes group lectures, role playing, personalized one-on-one communication, self-authored books and DVDs, the program not only ensures that learning is effectively passed on but that it sticks like Velcro.

I must say that your material is very good. I have purchased some of your competitors' products, but I find that your content is far more advanced.
- Michael Inglis
The IBG Program was an invaluable addition to my toolkit. Rich in content and filled with implementable tools; this capacity builder gave me the immediate confidence to engage in strategic level business discussions, provide meaningful insights and offer operational level solutions. There is no equal. Enroll, complete the program and you will not be disappointed!
- T.M. Dickens
Before signing up, I had high expectations for the coaching portion of the program but suspected that I would glean little in terms of business. I could not have been more mistaken. The CASTLE model you developed provides the framework I had hoped to learn when I earned my MBA and one which I desperately sought for both my management consulting practice and when teaching graduate business courses.... both a rock solid program and an individually empowering experience.

About the Institute for Business Growth Certified Business Coach Credential
Certified Business Coaches from the Institute for Business Growth undergo a rigorous training process that prepares them to work with high-profile business owners and executives on a range of pressing issues and methods to improve performance, grow revenues, increase profits, and make the business more valuable to potential investors.
The program includes the International Coach Federation (ICF) approved Certified Executive Coach credential. The ICF is the leading standards organization in the coaching world, accepted by organizations around the world. This assures that our coaches follow a best-practice set of competencies and ethical code.
In order to get Certified with us, individuals must demonstrate the following competencies:
- Follow the International Coach Federation standards of ethical conduct for coaches.
- 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.
- Establish a coaching contract with clients to maintain confidentiality and create a safe environment for results.
- Set specific, measurable goals that bring enormous value to clients and can be tracked for mutual accountability and sustainable results.
- 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.
- Bring distinctions, tools and frameworks to the client in all areas related to growing a profitable business, increasing the value of the business, making more valuable use of their time, setting strategy, recruiting and developing top talent, communicating powerfully, attracting new business, engaging employees, and creating a company that runs without them.
- 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 coaching process, including their ability to handle the many curve balls, challenges, and obstacles that can come up for business owners.
If you have any questions about the qualifications of a Business Coach who has been certified by us, please call Andrew Neitlich, Director of the Institute for Business Coaching, at any time on his personal cell phone: 941-539-9623.
