ETC’s Unique Approach to Learning Through the Process of Change

ETC’s Professional Life Coach Certification (PLCC) Program offers a learning platform that promotes change through self awareness, discovery, integration and application of a variety of skills that are emphasized in the ETC approach to coaching. The “Coach in Training” undergoes the same transformation process as his/her coaching clients will, once the coach begins his/her contract position. The approach developed by ETC, therefore promotes a true coaching partnership by allowing the coach and the coachee to transform through change together. Both the coach and the coachee become more aware of self, discover inner strengths and skills and learn to understand barriers to their overall development, which allows them to transform through the coaching process. This cutting-edge approach towards transformation promotes better mental/physical health and resiliency throughout our community. Additional benefits of earning the ETC Professional Life Coach Certification Program include:

Learning to actively listen and master the communication process
Having the ability to question with the intent of learning and teaching simultaneously
Being able to cultivate in the coachee a feeling of importance
Showing respect for the coachees’ struggles
Purposefully coaching with the absence of a judgemental point of view
Understanding that failure is the birth of change
Being genuinely interested in the coachees’ quest for change
Appreciating the opportunity to coach the coachee and to be coached by the coachee

These settings include outpatient, residential, foster care, juvenile detention, group homes and supervising mental health agencies. Mr. Stone’s passion is the development of youth and young adults which cultivated his motto of “watering the seed.” He collaborates with clients and their families to develop individualized goals so they can receive the nourishment they need to grow a positive self- concept. Mr. Stone has noticed throughout his experience that societal pressures, peer pressure and unhealthy dynamics with others in the home, community and school settings have caused youth to rebel, often both internally and externally. Consequences of these behaviors can lead to impaired critical thinking skills, irregulated emotions and a lack of optimism of one’s ability to overcome barriers to a successful future. Mr. Stone utilizes therapeutic interventions to empower clients and encourage them to recognize their untapped potential.
