I won even more
Eirini Rabaouni, ACC
CSTP 7 Graduate | Life Coach | Educator | MSc Philosophy & Management
I started this program with the goal of becoming a professional coach. Throughout my training, I gained scientifically based knowledge and had meaningful conversations that everyday life often doesn't allow. I also joined a special community, connected with new people, laughed, moved, experienced, and created awareness. I challenged myself, went beyond my limits, and gained tools for self-awareness and dialogue. I completed my first coaching sessions and was evaluated according to the high criteria of the ICF. Obtaining my diploma means much more to me than just becoming a certified professional coach, although that was my initial goal. I am grateful to Barbara for the gifts and support throughout this journey.
Significant chapter the International Educational Team
Ioannis Georgiou
CSTP 6 Graduate | Coach Leader | MSc, CTMP HR Professional | Winnipeg, Canada
After extensive research both in Greece and internationally, I made the deliberate choice to enroll in a Coaching program that uniquely integrates the principles and wisdom of Ancient Greek philosophy. This decision has proven to be justified as I have been able to immerse myself in the art of coaching with a parallel approach to the teachings of the ancient Greek philosophers, who are considered the founders of modern coaching. The program offers a wealth of educational material and is thoughtfully structured to accommodate the needs of working students. Notably, the program's academic staff consists of well-respected scientists who are not only knowledgeable but also approachable and supportive.
