All materials are the property of the Self-Leadership Collaborative. You may use the resources provided in the training within your coaching practice. If you share or distribute materials with clients, we ask that you credit the Self-Leadership Collaborative. Use of materials as part of larger presentations or workshops requires permission. There is no licensing program at this time, though one may be developed in the future.

Upon completion of the training, you will receive a certificate and can identify yourself as a PAUSE for Business Informed Coach. If you are interested in pursuing a trainer certification in collaboration with the Self-Leadership Collaborative, additional education and opportunities are available.

This training provides practical tools to grow as a leader and coach, enabling you to foster a compassionate, productive organizational culture through holistic coaching practices—whether in 1:1 coaching or with corporate teams—rather than relying solely on cognitive techniques.

Accreditation from a recognized coaching organization, such as the International Coach Federation (ICF) or a similar reputable body, is preferred. Experienced professionals who coach business teams and executives, or have strong leadership experience and demonstrate a standard of professionalism and ethical practices, are encouraged to apply.

A holistic interest in coaching and a willingness to engage in inner work are essential for internalizing the PAUSE for Business Teams Method. Participants may find that experience with the IFS model, through the IFSI Coaching program or other IFS-inspired training, would be beneficial for taking this course. 

IFS for Coaches provides foundational training in IFS for one-on-one coaching. PAUSE builds on the same IFS principles and offers a practical 5-step non-therapeutic approach suitable for teams and businesses. Many coaches find the two programs work well together. IFS for Coaches deepens your understanding of the therapy model, while PAUSE for Business Teams gives you a structured, non-therapeutic process to apply that understanding with clients and teams.
