Creativity Coaching Training
Creativity Coaching Certificate Program
Through The Continuing Education Dept at ITP
In Collaboration with
The Transformational Coaching Training Program
There is a strong desire in each of us to follow our creative urges and to make personal meaning through creating. However, time and again, real life concerns frustrate and postpone our creative enthusiasm, often dissolving it into apathy and uncertainty. A creativity coach empowers individuals to realize not only their innate passion to create but also their incredible potential to fulfill their wildest dreams.
Through the Continuing Education Department at ITP, in collaboration with the Transformational Coaching Training Program, a creativity coaching training program has been established. It is a nine month program, the foundation of which lies in life coaching. The first five weekends will be taken in conjunction with the Transformational Coaching Training. The last four training weekends, plus an email creativity coaching training, will be focused specifically on creativity coaching.
