Coaching in Style Certification

Help clients understand how their personality shapes their choices and develop more effective ways to lead, communicate, and work with others.

The Coaching in Style Certification prepares coaches to apply the Eagle, Parrot, Dove, and Owl styles throughout the coaching process. Whether you’re new to the styles or have used DISC for years, this certification deepens your understanding and provides practical tools to turn personality insight into focused coaching conversations and meaningful action.

You’ll also examine how your own style influences the way you coach, including the questions you ask, the strengths you recognize, and the advice you offer. With that awareness, you can better support each client’s development while recognizing when your own preferences may be shaping the direction.

What You’ll Learn

The certification prepares you to:

• Incorporate the four bird styles into coaching conversations and goal setting.
• Recognize how your own style affects your interactions with clients.
• Interpret DISC graphs and explore what they reveal about a client’s behavioral tendencies.
• Ask insightful questions that help clients recognize their patterns and consider different responses.
• Help clients build on their strengths and address challenges associated with their style.
• Use personality awareness to support clients’ emotional intelligence.
• Guide clients toward goals that reflect their needs and translate insight into specific behaviors to practice.

Putting the Coaching in Style Playbook into Practice

You’ll learn to use the Coaching in Style Playbook to bring structure and continuity to your coaching engagements. This client workbook explores 16 competencies through awareness-building questions, practical tips for each style, and action-planning prompts.

The competencies address everyday leadership responsibilities, including communicating, listening, providing feedback, clarifying goals, conveying vision, building relationships, increasing influence, holding people accountable, managing stress, leading change, and running inclusive, effective meetings.

The Playbook can serve as the foundation for 16 weeks of coaching conversations, giving clients a consistent way to examine how their style affects each competency and choose specific adjustments to practice between sessions.

You’ll leave prepared to help clients use their strengths with greater intention and expand their range of responses. Effective coaching gives people more choices in how they show up.
