Training for Parent Coaches
The PCI students are teachers, counselors, personal coaches, social service workers, and family advocates. They are seeking a challenging, relevant program at the graduate level for parent coach certification or for one or more graduate courses which will enhance their work with parents. Our students are heart-centered, spiritual people who delight in the collegial camaraderie offered by the PCI. Even if those problems seem difficult and almost in need of remarkable powers of recovery. They are disciplined individuals who live full personal and professional lives and can meet and exceed the high expectations of our intensive year-long distance-learning program. PCI students have distinguished themselves in their careers; they are leaders in their fields and know how to benefit from the opportunities presented to them by the PCI to express their creativity and individual talents. Our students are pioneers who resonate with the PCI model, its principles, and its vision. They know that the complex challenges for parents within a techno-consumer culture demand a radical approach, the PCI approach, if significant social transformation is to occur.

Coaching Services for Parents
Our clients are busy professional parents who seek perspective and support from our highly trained and experienced parent coaches. These parents enjoy the ease and convenience of a weekly telephone call at the time that is right for their schedule, day or evening. The parents we serve are 100% committed to themselves and to their children. They may be wanting guidance with a tough decision as to what school is best for their child, how to positively approach a new blended family situation, ways to reduce stress as a single parent; or they may be seeking a sounding-board for any of the myriad of parenting issues we all deal with at one time or another. The reasons for parent coaching are varied, but what remains true is that the parents we coach here at the PCI are motivated, resourceful individuals who know how to benefit from ongoing coaching support.

Acclaim for the PCI!

"I have facilitated parenting groups for 20 years and the PCI training has taught me far more about how to formulate questions, how to word them and time them to be most powerful and transformational, than any other training I've had. Now I understand how to really catalyze transformative change for the parents I'm working with. Thank you!"
