Asia Coach Center (ACC)
This Coach Training is specifically designed for those who want to become MCC credentialed. The primary focus of this course is on the Being level of coaching. We believe that ‘who you are making a difference in what you do”. This means, that in order to have a higher level of coaching the coach MUST work on their own personal development. As the Being level shifts, the Doing level of higher order of coaching skills follows naturally.
The course weaves demonstrations, practice, and content in an organic fashion. It also has an Asynchronous study into the Essence of Mastery.
The course is led by Michael Stratford, MCC since 1999. He has trained over 6,000 coaches, all over the world. He has created and led coach training programs for 7 different organizations, some of which were inside corporations. In addition, he has been an ICF assessor for over 20 years. He has coached people in ALL industries and at ALL levels. He brings ALL that expertise to this course and knows that the term ‘advanced’ doesn’t simply mean ‘more content of the same level’. It must be of an elevated level. That is what he has provided. And…it’s often fun
Focus on Being – Many places focus on techniques of listening, questions, and observations. We know that before those things come to the question: “What is the being of the person doing the listening, asking the questions, making the observations?”
Our motto is “Being before Doing”. We help our coaches arrive at the optimal being state for the doing of coaching. This is our highest priority.
Focus on Learning Mindset – A learning mindset allows one to experiment and be more focused on self-recalibration than self-recrimination. We focus on a deep understanding of the principles of coaching: Uniqueness, Service, Spaciousness, and Non-attachment. We know how Core Competencies and Markers make coaching easier.
Focus on Presence – We help our coaches ‘subtract’ the elements within their being, that keep them from the state of Equanimity while coaching. A coach learns more easily without concerns about approval, self-worth, being liked or making a mistake. This creates a Coaching Presence that is responsive instead of reactive.
Focus on Practice – We focus on practice. No one learns to ride a bicycle well by reading about it, watching videos, or listening to someone else’s experience. One must get on the bicycle and ride. This is the only way to truly feel balance in one’s body and gain the confidence needed to ride with freedom.
Focus on Business Success – We support the coach being successful in business by having a course directly focused on the Business of the Business, designed to give coaches both the information, tools, and awareness needed to have a sustainable business.
Focus on the Path – We focus on the journey of a coach. It is not just about getting a credential that is important to us. We recognize that what is truly important is ‘who the coach becomes’ while on the journey. That is what they will carry throughout their life. Students have said that the Path of Coaching has affected all areas of their life in positive ways.
Focus on Community – We support learning communities for our students so they don’t have to be alone while in the learning stage and business stages.

The course weaves demonstrations, practice, and content in an organic fashion. It also has an Asynchronous study into the Essence of Mastery. The total course is 100 hours with 75 hours dedicated to the Core Competencies that meet the Minimum Skill Requirements for an MCC Credential. As per ICF rules for a Level 3 course, a pre-requisite is that the participants MUST have a PCC. One can revisit the course if they choose and many have done so in order to deepen the integration of their learning.

This course is focused on the PCC Markers that are used for the PCC Certification. It is not a regular course of just ‘do this here, do that there’. This course takes the participant beyond just learning what will pass the assessment in a checklist format. This course goes deeper into how the markers actually support the coach to be of better service and have an easier time coaching.
Michael Stratford uses his long-time coach training expertise and his master of the markers born from being an ICF assessor to customize the learning to the participants of the class. As in all of Michael’s classes, you can expect some experiential learning that comes not only from practice but Q & A, as well as debriefed examination of his demonstrations.
This is a course designed to meet the Mentoring Requirements for the MCC Credential. Participants need to be at the PCC level in order to attend. Each week there is live coaching by a different coach for a selected client. Then the following session, the coaching will be debriefed by the whole group. The number of people is limited to 10. In addition to the group sessions, each coach will be given the opportunity to submit 2 recordings to Michael for his assessment and mentoring. The big advantage of this course over many others is that Michael uses his long experience in the role of an ICF assessor in order to help the coach elevate their coaching.
