Coaching Mastery Certificate Program
A message from Keith Webb about the new fully online program beginning April 20th...

Discover How Coaching Can Multiply Your Impact
If you want to know what it takes to make a greater impact... if you want to see people transformed… if you want to multiply your efforts… then you owe it to yourself and others to carefully consider what follows.
Hi, I'm Keith Webb the founder of Creative Results Management. On this page, I'll show you it's possible to multiply your impact and to develop others around you. You can:
- Reach your goals and develop other people along the way.
- Replace your burden of having all the answers with the freedom of having the right questions.
- Stop lamenting over the lack of new leaders and empower the ones you have.
- Overcome the awkwardness of supervising people in different locations.
Multiplying your impact is possible.
The difference between you and others is that you will know how. It took me 15 years to learn.
I'll also share with you about our All-In-One ICF ACC™ coaching training. This program will equip you to multiply your impact and enable you to be certified as a professional coach by the world's largest coaching association.
You may already know who I am through my book, The COACH Model For Christian Leaders.
Over the past 25 years, I've built a global coaching training company, created a leadership development process in Indonesia, and led a church planting ministry in Japan.
It hasn't been easy, and to be honest, until lately, not as fruitful as I hoped.
I had a ton of vision, but not the skills needed to develop other people around me while getting things done.
The difference in results happened when I started changing my conversations. Think about it, conversations are the way we get everything done. If you change your conversations, you will change your results.
"I am simply amazed at the difference being made in the lives of those I'm coaching using the COACH Model!"

Are You Reaching Your Leadership Potential Or Ready to Quit?
Personally, I know how challenging it can be to lead. Whether you are starting a business, managing people in 4 countries, launching a new church, or working in a foreign country, I've been there.
And the pace is speeding up. People are more spread out. It is hard to keep up.
I thought if I could just work smarter, more efficiently, I could see the impact I hoped for. There were just too many needs and too much to do."Recruit others to join you," was the advice I received. I did. The administrative load multiplied with each new teammate. Soon, I was busy filling out forms instead of building into the lives of others.
Developing myself and others to be effective turned out to be my biggest challenge of all.
Perhaps you can relate to these statistics:
- 65% of professionals are more stressed out at work than they were five years ago. (Korn Ferry)
- 57% of pastors say they would quit if they had another job.
- Among managers who oversee one to two employees, 59% report having no training at all. (West Monroe Partners)
If you don't approach leadership in new ways, then you will likely never reach your potential.
I don't want that for you, and I'm sure you don't want that, either.
That's why I developed an extremely practical solution to show you HOW TO AVOID BEING INEFFECTIVE.
It's called The COACHING MASTERY CERTIFICATE PROGRAM. It provides literally everything you need to know to multiply your impact AND develop others - even those who live at a distance from you.
"I use coaching skills all day long in my role managing 5 direct reports and working with the executive team. The intensive practice and learning in the Coaching Mastery Certificate Program equipped me to lead in an empowering way by asking good questions instead of always telling people my perspective & ideas. Since the training I’ve become a much better leader of leaders.”

Does This Sound Like What You Value?
We've been training women and men in coaching skills since 2005. We're not for everybody, but that's okay!
We work with Christians in business, nonprofits, and those who just want to be better leaders. Our approach incorporates three strands which combine together to produce powerful results in the results of our participants.
1. Christian
Courses are built on a Christian worldview and Biblical theology. You can coach anyone - Christian or not. We give you the tools to live out Christian values in Holy Spirit-empowered ways, at work or at home.
2. Professional
The International Coach Federation, examined our programs with a fine-tooth comb and approved all of them. What does this mean to you? It means you are getting the best professional coaching training available.
3. Practical
We offer change tools you can immediately use. Not just theory, but flexible, powerful, and practical leadership skills. You practice real-world skills with expert feedback so you’re ready to make an impact in your world.
Does this describe what you value?
The COACHING MASTERY CERTIFICATE PROGRAM will help you change your conversations and your results.
"As a corporate coach in a Fortune 100 company I wanted a coaching program that matched my beliefs as well as corporate standards. The Coaching Mastery Certificate Program was a perfect fit. It matched my value system and provided the skills I needed for ICF certification, plus it took my business to a new level."

This Is Not Theory, But Proven, Real-World-Tested Methods
We don't share theories in this program. Everything we talk about has been PROVEN - first in my own experience, and then in the experiences of thousands of others.
Everyone means something different by the word "coach." The practice of coaching has developed tremendously over the past 10 years. I've been right at the center of that development.
My own coaching experience includes more than 1,000 coaching hours with 125 clients. I was awarded Professional Certified Coach by the International Coach Federation (ICF) and served as President of the ICF Washington State Chapter (2012-2013).
You can find Christian coaching training that may be cheaper, easier, and faster - and guess what you end up with? A few skills, a new vocabulary, and a nice certificate.
This program will DRAMATICALLY INCREASE YOUR LEADERSHIP IMPACT. If you do the work and follow the flexible process that we lay out for you, you will see results. I guarantee it.
Why? Because this program moves beyond just my ideas of what might work and teaches you precisely what does work - and how to do it. It's 100 percent real-world-tested, ready for you to use.
"I researched 3 training programs before I chose Creative Results Management. The training exceeded my expectations for skills, Christian perspective, discovery, and preparation for my coaching ministry and my coaching business."

Everything You Need to Get Your Professional Coach Credential
You may be planning to mostly coach others in your work. If you do, no doubt about it, you will see results.
But wouldn’t it also be great to have the world’s largest professional coaching association certify you as an excellent coach?
The COACHING MASTERY CERTIFICATE PROGRAM can help you get a professional coaching credential.
The International Coach Federation (ICF) has 34,000 members in 145 countries.
The COACHING MASTERY CERTIFICATE PROGRAM has been examined by the International Coach Federation. They went over our program with a fine-tooth comb. The ICF approved the whole program as Approved Coach Specific Training Hours, which we call our All-in-One ICF ACC™.
What does this mean to you? It means...
- The world's largest marketplace coaching association approves this training.
- You can join the ICF as a Coach Member using these training hours.
- You can apply for a professional coaching credential from the ICF after completing this program.
The COACHING MASTERY CERTIFICATE PROGRAM exceeds the ICF’s coach training requirement to become professionally credentialed as an Associate Certified Coach (ACC). Their coaching standards are strict. But how valuable is an “easy" credential? Not very!
More than 285 of our graduates have received an ICF coach credential. You can too!
It's like 3 programs in one! The Coaching Mastery Certificate Program is your All-In-One ICF ACC™ solution to get your ICF Associate Certified Coach credential through the easier the ICF's ACC ACSTH application. You can find the ICF's requirements here.
Do you already have your ACC? You can use these training and mentor-coaching hours toward your Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential.
"The training was exactly what I was looking for. I immediately began to coach people in my church and community. Later, I breezed through the application process and was awarded Associate Certified Coach by the International Coach Federation."
Joe Donaldson, ACC
Pastor, Our Savior's Baptist Church

Founder, Plan To Lead Inc.
So, you are ready to coach others. Now what?
We Walk With You For 6 Months As You Coach
The real test of a training program is what happens after you go home. Can you put what you learned into action? What if you have questions?
We've got you covered! You can choose the option that will best serve your needs.
The COACHING MASTERY CERTIFICATE PROGRAM supports you in 3 critical ways for 6 months and beyond:
• Journey with your instructor and other participants.
• Continue to practice coaching, and receive feedback.
• Get practical coaching exercises to use with the people you coach.
2. Three hours of Individual Mentor-Coaching. To fine-tune your coaching after you've had a few months of practice, one of our instructors will meet with you one-on-one by telephone. This time will move you forward and prepare you for your ICF ACC application if you wish.
3. We help you learn the skills of finding people to coach with the Essential Market Bundle. These two online courses are normally $497, but as a Coaching Mastery participant you receive them free after the in-person part of the course.
These 3 ways of supporting you after the in-person training make a lot of difference in your ability to implement coaching in your work.

Why This Decision Is A No-Brainer
My hope in sharing this information with you is to help you avoid being ineffective in your life and instead fully live out your calling, develop others, and multiply your impact. That's why I've priced it affordably so that as Christian leaders as possible can take advantage of it.
Maybe you're thinking, "I'm not sure... it doesn't sound that affordable."
Ask yourself these three questions...
- What would it be worth to you if you could see the results you long for?
- What would you pay to avoid the costly mistakes that could keep you running on a hamster-wheel going nowhere fast?
- What would your organization pay for you to discover what you need to know and do to be effective sooner rather than later?
Or think of it this way...
- Other Christian organizations typically charge $2,700 to $3,800 for 60+ hour courses. Then add $950 to $1,300 for a 10 hour group mentor-coaching process. That's $3,650 to $5,100 total. Some of these courses are not "live" nor approved by the International Coach Federation. The crazy thing is people pay these amounts.
- It costs $1,660 for one master's class at Fuller Seminary. This practical coaching training program is less than the price of 2 seminary classes, a fraction of what you have already invested in your education.
- You probably spend several thousand of dollars every year in travel, housing, and fees to attend conferences and training events. How much value have you received? Coaching Mastery is packed with value that you'll wish you had years ago.
Need to raise the money? Download a sample fundraising letter to adapt and send to your donors. Many others have done this successfully.
With the Coaching Mastery Certificate Program you get 63 ICF-approved training hours and 10 hours of mentor-coaching for one low price.

No problem. No questions asked. You have my word on it.
My friends think I'm CRAZY for doing this because they say "What if people just take advantage of you?"
To that, I say, why would I penalize the 99% of people in the world who are good people because of a few bad eggs?
So, that's why I'm happy to offer this risk-free guarantee.

Questions I'm Frequently Asked
If we were face-to-face over a cup of coffee, I would answer all your questions about the Coaching Mastery Certificate Program. But since we’re not, let me do the next best thing …
Here are the top questions I get asked most frequently, and my answers. Once you are done reading, scroll back up and register. I hope to see you soon!
Q: I work in a business, not a ministry, is Mastery relevant to me?A: Yes! The mindsets, skills, and tools we teach can be fully utilized in a business environment. We teach from a Christian worldview, but our coaching processes can be used with or without Christian language. Many Coaching Mastery graduates coach in their companies and make a big impact. Our training will help you be a more empowering manager and develop the leadership capacity of those you coach.
Q: Are there any scholarships available for ministry folks?A: Not individually. We keep our operating costs low so our program fees are as reasonable as possible. Still, it can be a challenge for some. Many ministry folks have raised the money that they needed to attend our programs through their prayer and financial supporters. Download this sample fundraising letter.
Q: Why the change to 4 days in-person?
A: Coaching Mastery used to be 5 days in-person and we've changed it to 4 days. We believe trimming a day of training will produce more effective learning overall.
Here are three specific reasons:
1) The ICF changed their Core Competencies making them more concise, so we're following suit by making our training a bit more concise,
2) We heard from participants that they would prefer 4 days over 5 days,
3) It will save participants the cost of one night's hotel and get them home before the weekend.
The Coaching Mastery Certificate Program still has 63 training hours and 10 mentor coaching hours, which are more than enough for the training requirements for an ICF ACC coach credential.
Q: How long has Creative Results Management been around?
A: Our first professional Christian coaching program was in October of 2006 in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Since then, we've held more than 90 professional-length programs (60+ training hours) around the world with more than 1,800 participants. When you include shorter 1, 2, and 3 day trainings, we've trained more than 10,000 people, including 3,646 people in 2018 alone.
Q: Why is International Coach Federation (ICF) approval such a big deal?
A: Credentials are only as good as the association behind them. The ICF's requirements are rigorous and highly respected. Our participants want the highest standard, and we help them get there with the ICF. The Coaching Mastery Certificate Program is approved by the ICF as an ACSTH program. It meets the training and mentor-coaching requirements for ICF membership and the Associate Certified Coach (ACC) designation.
Q: I've heard about other coaching associations, why isn't your training accredited by these too?
A: There are many smaller coaching associations out there. We align with the world's largest and most international coaching association - the International Coach Federation (ICF). We're also a member of the Christian Coaches Network International.
Q: When I graduate from Coaching Mastery do I automatically get an ICF credential?
A: Upon graduation you will have met the training and mentor-coaching qualifications for the ICF Associate Certified Coach. The ICF also requires 100 client coaching hours and a multiple choice exam. We will show you how to apply through the easier ICF ACC ACSTH application process. More than 285 people have received an ICF ACC, PCC, or MCC credential with our training hours.
Q: What qualifies your instructors to teach coaching?
A: Creative Results Management instructors are first of all practitioners. They bring decades of on-field work & ministry experience and personal mastery in coaching and training. They work and live all around the world. All our coach instructors are Credentialed Coach Members of the ICF. Several of our instructors serve as leaders on their local ICF chapter boards. Click to see the instructors.
Q: Are the instructors successful coaches?
A: Yes, and recognized by their peers as such. See above.
Q: What coaching credentials do the instructors have?
A: All faculty are a minimum of ICF Associate Certified Coach and several are Professional Certified Coach and Master Certified Coach.
Q: How much of the training is voice-to-voice vs independent or self-directed?
A: All of the Coaching Mastery Certificate Program's training hours count as ICF Core Competency training and approved as ACSTH.
Watch out for organizations that count self-study, independent work, or client coaching hours as coach training hours. The ICF and other coaching associations only count live voice-to-voice instruction as training hours. Don't be disappointed to learn later that your coaching training doesn't count toward and ICF credential.
Q: What support does Creative Results Management offer Coaching Mastery graduates?
A: Our website allows participants to login and track their progress throughout their program. They are able to create a profile, interact with other participants and graduates, and access bonus training materials and resources.
We offer Elective Courses as teleclasses on topics that will further equip and support you. You can even purchase a license to train our 1-3 day version yourself.
Q: What if I this training doesn't meet my needs?
A: No problem. If you attend the training and at any time during the first 2 days of the 4-day in-person portion of the program determine that we haven't delivered as promised, I will promptly refund your money. You have my word on it. (See my satisfaction guarantee above.)
Q: What if I have a question or need support?
A: We are here to help. Simply email me at help@crmcoaches.com.
