If leadership coaching is about unleashing leadership potential, culture coaching is about unleashing strategic & organizational potential. Our thought leadership on Executive Coaching as Coaching for Strategy, Culture and Leadership is opening new perspectives for many coaches in the world. We are pioneers of this field as we presented at ICF’s Converge 2021 conference this new field of coaching as a result of our research and practice.
We have developed North America’s first Executive Culture Coaching Certificate Program, focusing exclusively on strategy-culture alignment and culture dynamics of large corporations. This program helps participants work with Executives / Senior Leaders in both 1:1 and team / group coaching settings.
If you are an HR professional, seasoned, or executive leader, or an accredited coach working within organizations, our ICF accredited Executive Culture Coaching program is for you! This program is focused on building the knowledge and skills needed for coaching towards a self-actualizing workplace culture. We focus on strategy-culture alignment, corporate North Star, managing employee engagement, employee experience, building Culture Action Plans and coaching through survey results.
The Executive Culture Coaching Program (Module 3) provides participants with Continuing Coach Education credits (CCEs) through the International Coaching Federation (ICF). This means that upon completion of Module 3, ICF accredited coaches will gain 40 credits of supplemental and advanced education to upgrade skills and renew an ICF credential.
Whether you require the CCE credits or not, your completion of Modules 1, 2 (prerequisites), and 3 will earn you the coveted titles of Maslow Certified Leadership Coach (MCLC) and Certified Executive Culture Coach (CECC). Our enrollment advisors can answer your questions and help you plan your certification path.

The learnings and the practice (in Module 1) were honestly transformative – I built a new muscle and new awareness of myself as a coach and leader. The quality of instruction is incredible and the other participants were vulnerable in learning alongside me. I look forward to doing further training with Maslow Centre, and would highly recommend their programs to others.
Jessica Young, Chief People Officer, Clearly
Module 1 was an exceptional learning experience with the Maslow Centre for Executive Leadership. Tim and his team created a safe, well-curated, highly stimulating learning environment delivered virtually, which brought together a fine balance of real-time instruction, self-reflection, and a fun, engaging learning dynamic.
Marjorie Lewis, Senior Leader, Leadership Development and Learning, Seaspan ULC
As a person who loves to problem solve and suggest solutions, I was surprised at how quickly I was able to learn the skill of coaching someone in a way that they could come up with their own solutions. The content built up in a logical manner but in a way that sparked creative thinking and outcomes. I highly recommend Maslow Centre for Executive Leadership's program for anyone interested in honing their coaching skills.
Angela Champ, President, Lean In Canada
Over the years I have participated in many coaching programs; This coaching program outshines them all. The coaching techniques (I’ve) learned over the past years in no way compares to the "value-add" techniques learned in this program. The skill building provided over this 8-week period is a wonderful learning experience. I would highly recommend this program to others.

Module 1 (Foundations of Leadership Coaching) has provided me an excellent opportunity to reinforce the foundations of coaching, and practice and improve my coaching skills with an impressive cohort of participants from a similar professional background. These skills will be used in my everyday leadership, and I’ve also built my professional network across the country.
Jennifer Forrest, Vice President, Human Resources, Pembina Pipeline Corporation
One of the best leadership courses I have ever taken! I loved learning something new every week and being given time to put it into practice in coaching with my peers. There are two things that Tim said during the course that will stick with me for years to come: "We need to hold our employees capable" and "Is it time for resolution or a revolution?"
Roza Sabety, Senior Manager, Commercial and Retail Lending Services, ABCU Credit Union
My experience with the Maslow Centre for Executive Leadership was really positive. I grew in my coaching practice and I have been able to apply these concepts at work. The program allowed me to learn the mechanics of coaching, and provided ample opportunities to be coached and to coach others. I highly recommend this program for any leader or HR individual.
