KI Coaching draws on the principles of the Martial Art Aikido (founded by Morihei Ueshiba), which means "The Way of Harmony."  It is based on coming from compassion, viewing conflict as a gift, and redirecting energy. 

What makes it different from other coaching certification programs?

This is a truly incomparable 20--hour training program developed by the founder of CoachingSupport.com, Martin Brossman, who is a ranking belt in Aikido, a Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner, and a professional life coach for 10 years. Of special interest is the program's instruction in an area little-covered in standard coaching training: conflict. 

KI Coaching fully teaches the true nature of conflict and how to transform it in difficult everyday situations.  The instructor is increasingly being recognized for his rare ability to teach others how to embrace conflict and reach fulfilling outcomes.  Even in his previous career at IBM, he was known as the man to handle extremely upset customers; he received the company's highest service award for his skill in turning disgruntled clients into loyal ones. Today Martin's clients appreciate learning the process of facing their challenges and achieving desired results.

What is the background of the program? 

As his coaching career progressed, Martin discovered that he was significantly applying the principles of Aikido more than any other modality in his practice, and he has been asked repeatedly over the years to teach his powerful results-getting method to others.  The outcome: a cutting-edge curriculum enriched by the mentor's signature blend of training and experience in business and personal coaching, further complemented by his certification in teambuilding, Aikido and NLP. This background of coaching, training and a range of interpersonal skills have been blended into a vibrant coach training/certification.

Who is this training meant for?

▪ Professional coaches looking to take their skills to a new level.
▪ Those considering coaching as a career, who already have professional skills that complement coaching. For example: Therapists who realize that their style is transitioning into coaching; consultants who find they are focusing more on drawing out resources & working more as a partnership; the manager who naturally utilizes coaching with their staffs; the professional motivator/trainer who has a aptitude in coaching; and the sales executive whose mentoring style parallels coaching.
▪ Individuals who want to have effective tools for helping themselves and others move through challenges and stay in action, for business and/or personal applications.

“Life is growth. If we stop growing, technically and spiritually, we are as good as dead.
The Art of Peace is a celebration of the bonding of heaven, earth, and humankind. 
It is all that is true, good and beautiful.”
