Executive Coaching Foundations Program

Master Advanced Coaching Capabilities in Your Current Role

Unsure of your next chapter?

Perhaps you’ve been considering Consulting, Coaching, or Strategic Advisor as a natural transition from your Executive role?

Shift from directive management to breakthrough facilitation with “asking.” Empower your team, build succession, and test your skills in a zero-risk proving ground while drawing a full paycheck.

The full Journey to Freedom, from Executive to Expert, is a 3-Phase process.

For now, you only need to focus on Phase 1: Elevate & Empower.
Most executives who try to start their own business fail, because they attempt to build their skills and sell their services at the same time.
For now, you focus on building your skills with your existing team. This makes your exit both ethical and strategic.

Considering Your Corporate Exit Strategy?

Why Your Current Job Is Your Unfair Advantage

Most senior leaders planning a move into coaching, consulting, or advisory wait until they have left corporate to start building the skills needed. That is the difficult and expensive approach. The role you hold right now gives you something you will never have again: a real leadership environment to practice in, and a full salary while you do it.

5. Corporate Training Sessions inhouse 1 1

Test without the risk. Practise elite coaching and mentoring skills with a captive team, in real conversations, while you are still drawing your corporate salary.

Create a clean corporate exit. Shift from fixing problems to coaching your people. Build your internal succession plan, delegate the daily operation, and leave your organisation at peak performance.

Decide what you actually want to be. Coach, consultant or strategic advisor — you do not have to choose yet. All three run on the same foundational skill set — asking powerful questions to empower others.

The skill behind every high-ticket exit. Top-tier experts do not simply hand over advice. They facilitate breakthroughs, using proven ICF coaching methodologies.

Zero sales pressure. No marketing, no cold outreach, no selling yourself. This stage is one hundred per cent about mastering elite coaching capability in a low-stakes environment.

The Executive Coaching Foundations Program is the bridge between the Executive role you hold now, and the Business Expert role you want next.

The Curriculum

What You’ll Master

Eight areas of practical capability, sequenced the way a senior leader actually needs them — usable right now in your current role, not just after you leave.

cristy

ICF Core Competencies

The competencies that define professional coaching worldwide, and what each one looks like in a real conversation with a direct report, a peer or a board member.

Leadership Development

Use the Leadership Development Matrix to read where a leader sits today and how coaching moves them toward greater capability, performance and effectiveness.

Elite Coaching Skills

Listening, questioning, presence, reflecting and holding silence — the skills that separate a coaching conversation from another round of advice.

POW Coaching

A practical model for short, focused, high-impact conversations when time is the thing you have least of.

GROWTH Coaching

A proven structure for deeper coaching conversations, from goal to way forward — the same structure that carries into consulting and advisory work.

Coaching Conversations

How to open, hold and close a conversation so the person leaves with clarity and a next step they own.

Group Coaching & Facilitation

Apply GROWTH principles with teams and leadership groups, and facilitate conversations that keep everyone contributing.

Delegation & Mentoring Toolkit

Templates, prompts and worked examples that shift your daily management style from directive to empowering — so you can delegate the work you no longer want to own.

The Frameworks

Two Frameworks You Will Use for the Rest of Your Career

Every leadership conversation needs a shape. These two cover almost all of them — in the boardroom now, and with paying clients later.

Framework One

POW Coaching Model

For short, sharp, focused conversations when time is limited — the corridor conversation, the ten minutes before a board meeting, the quick check-in that still needs to move something forward.

You will learn: how to run a focused conversation in minutes rather than hours, how to keep it purposeful under time pressure, and how to close it with a clear next action the other person owns.

Framework Two

GROWTH Coaching Model

A proven structure for conversations that need room to breathe — deeper exploration, yearly performance plans, longer sessions, team coaching and facilitation.

You will learn: how to move a conversation from goal to reality to options to way forward, and how to use the same structure with a leadership group without losing individual insight.

The Facilitators

Created by Two MCC Certified ICF Coaches

The Executive Coaching Foundations Program is written and delivered by Luke Salway and Cristy Aphimonthol — both Master Certified Coaches (MCC) with the International Coaching Federation, the ICF’s highest credential. Both Luke and Cristy made this move themselves, transitioning from busy corporate roles into successful careers as coaches, facilitators and consultants. Everything you learn has been tested in thousands of hours of coaching and facilitation with senior leaders and their teams.

Good Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this live or self-paced?

It is completely online and self-paced. You study when it suits you, in the order that suits you, around your existing role.

How long does it take?

Approximately 18 hours in total. Most executives spread that across a few weeks around a full diary.

Do I need previous coaching experience?

No. The programme is designed to build foundational coaching capability from the beginning. Even if you have attended a previous coach training workshop, this one is designed for Executives.

Is this an ICF certification?

No — and that distinction matters. The Executive Coaching Foundations Program is a Coachology coaching development programme, not a full ICF credential in itself. What it does give you is 18 ICF Core Competency hours, banked and credited toward Coachology’s ICF Level 1 and Level 2 Coaching Programmes when you are ready to pursue the full credential.

Can I continue into ICF Level 1 or 2?

Yes. Your US$297 investment acts as a full credit toward Coachology’s ICF Level 1 and Level 2 Coaching Programmes.

Do I get support while studying?

Yes. Participants receive Coachology WhatsApp support and a 30-minute live 1-on-1 implementation session with Coach Luke Salway, MCC, to help translate the learning into practice.

Can I do this while still in my corporate role?

Yes — that is the point. It is online and self-paced, and designed to be completed alongside a demanding full-time role, using your current team as your practice ground.

What do I get access to?

The full 18-hour programme, the POW and GROWTH models and templates, the Instant Impact eBook, short, sharp coaching and group facilitation resources, the Delegation & Mentoring Toolkit, the Executive to Expert Blueprint, WhatsApp support and your 30-minute 1-on-1 with Coach Luke, MCC.

Do I need to know whether I want to coach, consult or advise?

No — and you do not need to decide during the programme either. Coaching is the delivery system behind all three. Master it now and you keep every option open.

Will I have to start selling myself?

No. This stage is entirely about capability, not marketing. There is no cold outreach, no personal brand building and no pressure to find clients. You practise with the team you already lead.

Can I really practise on my own team?

Yes, and it is the fastest way to build the skill. The frameworks are designed for the one-to-ones and check-ins you already run, so your team simply experiences better conversations.

What if I leave my corporate role before I finish?

That is fine. The programme is self-paced with no expiry, and everything you learn transfers directly into coaching, consulting or advisory work.
