Foundations Cohort 21 (January 2021)

Ivy Walker · November 18, 2020

Welcome!!!

This is your online classroom area for the Foundations Modules.

When a cohort starts the NCC training, they begin with the four Foundation Modules. These modules are offered in sequence and complete the first semester of the program. Once completed, the cohort moves on to the ToolBox Modules where students practice and enhance the foundational skills learned during the Foundation Modules. There are three major categories of learning goals that make up the Foundation Modules:

  • Nature-Connection and Relationship
  • Coaching Competencies
  • Transformational Guiding Competencies

Nature-Connection and Relationship:

Nature-Connection is a state of mind, a way of being.  It is accessible to all people.  It is our birth-right. All our senses are wired for it, our brains and bodies are wired for it.  Nature-connection practices remind us that Nature is the real healer/teacher. We, as Nature-Connected Coaches and Guides, are facilitators.  Additionally, through our own connected relationship with nature we can learn how to show-up in the coaching/guiding relationships we share with our clients.  

Coaching Competencies:

Professional Coaching is a non-clinical modality for supporting change and growth in clients.  It’s competencies are applicable to many different types of clients such as life-coaching clients, businesses, personal relationships, executives, etc.  The NCC program focuses on life-coaching, and during the foundation modules we learn what is expected of us as Professional Coaches, while discovering our unique “Coaching Presence”

Transformational Guiding Competencies:

These competencies are what make the NCC work unique from other forms of coaching and guiding. Skills like Deep Listening, Ceremony Facilitation, and Nature as the Guide are not taught anywhere else, or in the same way. Honing these skills will separate you from the rest of the coaches and guides out there, increasing your effectiveness and the power of your sessions with your clients.

You will be given a copy at the start of the program, but feel free to download a copy of the competencies.

  • (Under Construction. Check back). Below is an outline of different steps involved in completing this part of the training.
  • Below that is a text box that connects you to the group discussion area. Anything you enter into that text area will be shared with the group, similar to a news feed in Facebook.

    Hello there! I am Jackie and I just moved back to Texas from Tennessee. This is my 3rd attempt to complete the NCC program and I am very excited about it. I know this my calling, I am finally in a place in my life where I can focus and put all of my energy into my vision and dreams.
    I look forward to meeting each and every one of you. If there is anything I can do to assist you on your Vision, please feel free to ask.

    hi Everybody!
    Im Sue , from Minneapolis. Im super excited to get to know more of you as we embark on this journey together! It was an absolute honor and joy to get to meet some of you and establish a relationship through the EBI Leadership Course this fall! I was really looking forward to the experiential and face to face intensive at the end of January… But – when faced with an obstacle ( aka a global pandemic) we adapt to grow, right?!

    as we move through this intensive in the online format… I think it is going to be imperative that we work hard to foster connectedness. we were able to do this ( quite effectively ) in the leadership course.

    See you all virtually real soon!!

    Hello Cohort 21! I am so excited and honored to journey with you this year. Holding space for all that is to come during this life changing time of growth and discovery. Breathe deep and lean in, you are where you are meant to be. Definitely Suez, that connection is important and we will do the best we can with what we’ve got, holding hope for in-person soon! Good to see you again, Jackie, and feel your energy here. Congrats on being back in TX and best wishes on getting settled in.

    We just completed Day 5 of your Foundations Intensive and I am so impressed with each of you. How you are embracing this new-to-you information, opening to the personal growth through the vulnerability of being coached and jumping in with both feet eager to get started on your new path! BRAVO! Just a couple more days, hang on, and take care of you. This is a lot and it is normal to be feeling both exhausted and enlightened! You got this & we got you!
