"Without the right attitudes, experience is blind. The program teaches us to work on our attitudes.
With the right attitudes, we are able to use our newly acquired knowledge and skills to create better life experiences for ourselves and others."
Dr Michael Chang, Head of Global Learning of a Tertiary Education Organization
"I chose ECI as a training organisation as it offered the most structured training to become an effective coach: I believe in trying to achieve the most in the minimum amount of time and ECI was the most professional organization offering this.
Sebastien Lacroix, Insead MBA Graduate
"Despite having attended other coaching classes, I feel that the quality and experience of the 2 coach trainers has created a very different experience.
The “immediate” coaching practices and diversity of real issues have brought this class truly to a professional experience."
Isabelle Claus Teixeira, Head of Talent Management, Leadership & Organization Development of a Global Pharmaceutical Brand
"Executive coaching has definitely met my expectations. Today, I’m able to bring out the best in not only myself, but those around me, including friends and family.
The executive coaching program is well structured and the trainers are experienced, dedicated and motivating. The entire class supported each other throughout the program, and the sense of connection among us has added even more value to this program."

Meet Your Master Trainers
You will be led a team with a strong track-record of empowering their clients towards breakthroughs and having at least 3 years of coaching experience.
Many of us left cushy, high-status jobs after experiencing the immense transformations of coaching.
We envision a world where every person lives his or her best life.
Free from the chains of their limiting beliefs, achieving goals fearlessly, and forming deep relationships where we can be their authentic selves.
One of ECI’s most senior coaches, Julia has coached over 1,000 people in her time as a coach.

Julia’s vast coaching experience makes her a versatile coach, employing approaches and styles best suited for her clients’ development. She is described by her clients as a steady and calm pillar of strength, with deep wisdom that brings clarity to complex situations.

Julia Ng, Lead Trainer
Before coming across coaching, Mei Yee’s rapid ascent up the corporate ladder in the healthcare and pharmaceuticals industry saw her earning accolades such as Top Sales, rising to Regional Sales Supervisor at an MNC in Vancouver by 2007.
Despite her career successes, she found herself searching for “What’s next?” in her life.
Having found the answers she sought through coaching, she became a coach in 2008 to make a difference to others. Her ability to connect with her clients emotionally and her firm and unwavering determination allow her to empower her clients to achieve their dreams and goals.
Mei Yee’s liveliness, a firm grasp of coaching techniques and strong ability to engage her class have resulted in her becoming one of ECI’s most sought-after trainers.
Loo Mei Yee, Director of Training
Like Mei Yee, Wei Ping was consistently ranked in the top ten percentile of performers at Barclays Capital and The Royal Bank of Scotland.
After spending 7 years in banking, she decided to leave the corporate rat race to pursue a more authentic life. Helping people find out what is really important to them and changing their lives is one of the things that she really loves to do.
As a coach, she is known for coming from the heart yet being grounded in reality. Her clients find out what resonates with them and get practical solutions from her coaching that they can implement into their lives. Her client achievements include starting businesses, doing charitable movements, building personal confidence and improving relationships.

The Lives We've Changed
Burn-out 'Yes-Woman' to
Firm Boundaries & Living Life Aligned to Her Values
Before PCTP, Melanie, a regional HR manager, was a 'yes woman' who constantly sought the approval of others.
You can imagine how tired, burnt out and out of balance her life was.
The journey with us gave her clear insights on her boundaries - and how she could assert them.
The present-day her now makes sure each decision she takes aligns with what she truly wants and believes in.
The captain of her life, she is happier, more relaxed, and more confident in her own skin.
Introvert Who Missed Out on Many Opportunities to a Confident Communicator
The old Xuan Lee was an introvert afraid of voicing her opinions at work - even when she knew things could be improved!
The stifling feeling she felt by keeping all her ideas to herself was one thing. There was also the many opportunities she missed because of this inhibition.
PCTP equipped her with the tools to communicate at work in a way that allows her to get heard while being respectful.
These days, she shares her ideas courageously - even if they are unpopular at times - gaining the respect of her colleagues and even her bosses.
Clarity on Mindset & Behaviour Improved Her Relationships with Others Tremendously
Lynette's most significant takeaway from PCTP was the increase in self-awareness of her behaviour and mindset.
She's better able to understand others and their needs, fears, thought patterns, even if they come from a different walk of life.
Naturally, her relationships with others - even with her daughter, who she felt 'always challenged' her! - have tremendously improved.
Recently, mother and daughter even had a conversation where they laughed and talked about their differences - a HUGE achievement for both of them!
These three transformations are powerful but not unique.
Since 2004, PCTP has changed the lives of hundreds of students, propelling them to heights they never believed was possible.
Like Melanie, Xuan Lee, and Lynette, you too can embark on a journey of personal growth - all you've got to do is...

For the Ones Hungry for Growth
This is NOT your usual one-day corporate workshop where a bunch of executives show up for the sake for attendance.
Our training grounds are a sacred place reserved only for individuals with a strong desire to better themselves.
To uphold the standards for our students, we're only looking for serious individuals who:
As they say, desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal — that will enable you to attain the success you seek.
As seen on:
Ambitions will Always Remain Unfulfilled Unless...
Getting out of our comfort zones is never easy.
But think back to the time when you took the first step to pursue an aspiration of yours.
You embraced the discomfort, overcame challenges and not before long, tasted victory when you made it.
The only regret you had...?
You wished you'd act sooner!
So here's my question to you:
In seven months time, do you wish to making lasting impact on your first real client - or merely watch from the sidelines as others do so?
We'll see you at the webinar.

There are some similarities between coaching and mentoring.
However, coaching focuses on empowering clients and holding them accountable for their own professional and personal development, whereas mentoring largely involves the mentor sharing his or her life experiences.
Coaching is a professionally certifiable skill-set, where coaches spend hours on training and practice before receiving accreditation.
Contrary to popular belief, coaches do not tell their clients what to do.
Coaching is instead a partnership, where coaches ask their clients powerful, open-ended questions which can unlock the answers from deep within clients themselves.
Coaching also covers a wider spectrum in developing all the different domains in life, including personal relationships as well as finding purpose and direction, which may not be something that all mentors are comfortable speaking about with another industry professional.
In fact, accredited life coaches are trained to be able to handle any issue (professional or otherwise) that a client may wish to discuss.
Thus, coaching is a more formal relationship where coaches collaborate with clients in discovering more about themselves, equipping them with new competencies to help them take action and move forward to their goals for life.
Coaching focuses on advancing a client’s potential, while therapy focuses on curing and healing a client’s unresolved emotional problems.
Coaches use a client’s history mainly as a map to see how a client’s path has evolved to his or her present state. Coaching is more concerned with the gap between the present and envisioned future.
Coaches work hand-in-hand with their clients to reach specific life goals and enhance their growth and development in various domains of life – career, relationships, leadership, finding purpose, finances, health, amongst others.
For coaching, contact with clients between sessions for accountability is expected, while any contact outside of therapy sessions are meant for crises and difficulties only.
Trained coaches are able to discern when a client requires therapy rather than coaching (e.g. when a client has addictions, are recovering from trauma or face difficulty in day-to-day functioning).
Our classes are work-friendly and mostly take place on weekends.
Absolutely.
With the ACTP certificate you’ll be accredited with after completing the 4 modules, you’ll be able to formally coach clients.
And some of our course graduates have done just that, setting up their own businesses and are currently very successful practicing coaches.
The universal coaching skills that we teach can be used in conjunction with any existing specialisations you have.
For example, career consultants can become career coaches; someone with expertise in health and fitness can be a wellness coach.
Many of our trainees come from developmental professions such as consulting.
They’ve found coaching to be an extremely valuable addition to their repertoire of existing skills, allowing them to better help the people around them.
Yes. Our program is accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF), the world’s leading coaching body.
This means your certification will be recognised worldwide, should you wish to coach anywhere in the world.
