Center for Executive Coaching

The Center for Executive Coaching is the leading coaching training & certification company for professionals seeking success as coaches to leaders, executives, managers, and up-and-coming talent — especially in dynamic and complex organizations. We have trained over 2,000 coaches in 32 countries, and now give our members license to use our complete toolkit of two dozen, best practice coaching frameworks.

Most coach training programs are not equipped to teach the realities of the market and how to develop solutions that get practical, measurable results for clients. The Center for Executive Coaching is the exception. We are fully accredited with the International Coach Federation as an ACTP, and we also provide training for those who want the Board Certified Coach certification.

Katheryn Gronauer

Executive Coach for Global Professionals, ACC, Tokyo, Japan

I already had a wellness coaching certification before I joined CEC and was struggling to find a leadership-oriented program that would go beyond a repeat of general coaching techniques. I was looking for a program that would reverse engineer the common challenges that leaders face and help coaches build out effective coaching styles to help leaders move forward, and CEC stood out from other programs by a mile. Although I joined for the content - which exceeded my expectations - a benefit I wasn't expecting was the relationships I built with other CEC members through the breakout room sessions during live sessions, the 3-day seminar, and peer-to-peer coaching. Each participant has an impressive resume even before becoming an Executive Coach so it was a treat and great learning opportunity to be able to practice coaching with bright individuals who model the kinds of clients I aim to work with in the future. I also enjoyed the support, guidance, and advice that Carmen Tsui provided throughout the 3-day seminar and mentor coaching sessions. Her support accelerated my learning and I feel more thoughtful and confident as a coach thanks to her feedback. She's also inspired me to continue learning and although I've been a coach for some time now, I feel motivated to continue to grow.

Founder/MD, Executive Coaching & Business Transformation Consulting, Taiwan (Former General Manager, Fortune 100 Global Company)

Center for Executive Coaching (CEC) is exceptional and world-class – the faculty members, professional coaches/members, training programs, materials, webinars, and members' interactions. After surveying to find the best executive coaching program, I signed up with CEC in May 2022 and enjoyed it tremendously. Up to now, I have not yet seen another executive coaching program as robust, high-quality, and progressive as CEC. The 3-day intensive seminar instructed and facilitated by Dr. Carmen Tsui was empowering, inspiring, and enriching. The impacts and results we had from the 3-days/18 hours seminar were life-changing. Dr. Carmen's presence, style, and approach throughout the 3-day seminar created a safe learning environment to impart knowledge, evoke awareness, facilitate forward-based thinking & action, and unleash our potential. Dr. Carmen is a living example of walking the talk of CEC Vision. I am honored to have Dr. Carmen as my mentor coach. In addition, I appreciate the diverse groups of fellow CEC coach members who are supportive and helpful resources. The investment I made in CEC is beyond measure!

Domingo Mendieta

Executive General Manager migrating into coaching, Hong Kong

The 3 days intensive seminar (I should say super-intensive) with Dr. Carmen Tsui really was beyond my most optimistic expectations. I signed up last minute, a day before, just by chance because the course I was actually aiming for with a different coaching institute did not really fit well into my upcoming schedule, so after a quick phone call with Dr. Carmen Tsui I joined the seminar and already can enjoy the extremely useful CEC member area. Firstly I have to note that the diversity (in terms of origin, professional background and coaching experience) of the participants in the seminar was exceptional, thus providing all participants with a unique experience and take aways . And then there is Dr. Carmen Tsui and the CEC training approach: I never learned and experienced so much in such a short time. I am looking forward to develop my coaching career with Dr. Carmen Tsui and CECand after just 3 days I know I have joined the right program for me!

Her gentle and wise spirit encourages and supports me to go through transformative changes in my life – return me to myself as an expert in my own life.

Claudia Carmen Anton

Entrepreneur, Brisbane, Australia

As an entrepreneur, I have always understood the benefits of having a mentor and a coach. Along my business' journey, I had the privilege and honour to be mentored and coached by the greats of this world: Dr Peter Daniels, Mr Graham Daniels, John Demartini, Tony Robbins, and the rigorous QUT Executive MBA and Leadership training, consequently I sought a highly targeted and the industry-best to help me further in my entrepreneurship journey. Standing in a league of its own, the Centre for Executive Coaching, offers world-class training in personal development, personal and business transformations. I would be amiss without further emphasising the high caliber and quality training Dr Carmen offers. With a strong attention to details and the needs of each involved in the training and in a very safe and supportive environment, Dr Carmen, is the epitome of invoking awareness. In her presence and under her leadership it is impossible not to shine and thrive, as she prepares the space for transforming from the inside out.

Johnson Kao

President at Standard Fiber (China), Shanghai

I got so much out of this training I don't even know where to start. Let me highlight three things: First , I’m so new to coaching that it has always been something so new and hard for me. Now the training has demystified the whole thing. I now know there is a process and steps to follow. This training has given us so many tools that we can use in different situations. Very powerful indeed. Second, I have experienced coaching and that’s life changing. Now when I learn how to coach and use the tools, I see the impact in coaching even just for 10 minutes. If I continue to coach people on a consistent basis, imagine how many people I can impact and touch. Third, this really gives burned-out senior executives, like me, a new and clear roadmap on how to move forward and what to do. Now I have a new purpose. I can use the tools and skills and my experience to help people inside the company, and friends outside.

Joyce Yang

Executive Coach, Singapore

Thank you Dr.Carmen for host this training. I am now more convinced than ever that coaching is impactful. I have experienced first hand that the more we do coaching, the more energy we will gain. When we are energetic, our clients will be energetic as well. Another thing I really enjoy is the diversity that we have among our group. We have different backgrounds. We come from different countries. But it seems like we have known each other for quite a long time. It has been an amazing 3 days. The member area is a treasure chest. I will keep on digging from it.

Stella Tung

Life Coach, Shanghai

Completing the ACTP program is like a self-discovering and awakening journey. Under the guidance of Dr. Carmen, and with a group of highly motivated peers, we together set on to a life time of change that was beyond our initial imagination. The impact of the learning comes gradually, and is slowly deepened into my knowing and consciousness. I recall that in my first day of coaching class, I was inspired by the quotation of Michelangelo, “I saw the angel in the marble, and I carved until I set him free.” Now I can say that I am awed by the magnificent influence that one can bring through coaching to their clients - seeing the angel in every individual we coach and help to set him free.

Attending the 3-day seminar is like having a buffet that starts with the appetizer and continues all the way to the end with desserts to allow us to experience its fullness. It makes me feel full and satisfied beyond my (brain & mind) stomach. Thanks to Dr. Carmen’s professionalism and knowledge that I not only learn about the framework of “coaching” but also experience the coaching process by practicing with one another. Her enthusiasm, supportive and encouraging presence enabled me to enjoy every single step of what coaching is. Throughout the seminar, I experienced coaching that helps people to unlock their potential, discover resources to achieve their goal and see the best of themselves. Meanwhile, it helps me to grow and develop myself too and that is the beauty of coaching!
