Leadership today is defined by a paradox, and it’s keeping many smart, capable leaders stuck.

You’ve likely felt it during coaching sessions — even if you couldn’t quite name it. It shows up in moments where nothing seems to shift. But underneath it lies one of the greatest opportunities of our time — if you know how to work with it.

The Leadership Paradox

Today’s conditions demand higher consciousness. But they also make it nearly impossible to access.

Here’s why this is happening:

Today’s challenges require an enormous amount of presence, innovation, and ingenuity.

Leaders are being asked to step up — mentally, emotionally, even spiritually — to meet the demands of our times.

Yet these same challenges — complexity, pressure, and constant change — are pushing even the most highly capable leaders into patterns of reactivity.

Even the most developed leaders feel this. When stressors are this high, maintaining normal is difficult. Accessing greater awareness becomes nearly impossible.

This is why traditional coaching falls short for today’s leaders.

It’s no longer enough to focus on what leaders do — their goals, strategies, and behaviors. To meet today’s leaders where they are, we must coach at a level beyond circumstance, or we risk reinforcing the very patterns keeping them stuck.

The solution is to coach the paradox directly — at the level of consciousness itself.

The level of consciousness a leader is operating from determines everything — what they notice and what they miss, whether they react defensively or stay grounded, whether they tighten into control or open into creativity, and ultimately, what becomes possible in how they lead.

Unlocking Leaders is designed to teach you what traditional coaching techniques miss, so you can unlock the consciousness that creates new possibilitiesIt’s like getting access to the source code of change.

This course will enable you to:

Coach at the level of consciousness itself.

Tap into the hidden drivers behind decisions and behaviors, and work at the highest leverage point for real change
Work with complexity instead of trying to control it.
Unlock possibilities in situations that once felt stuck. 
Cultivate a capacity AI will never possess.
Learn how to sense and shift consciousness itself — the source of deep, lasting change.

At the same time, you’ll learn how to access a higher level of consciousness in your own coaching — becoming more aware of the unconscious patterns and behaviors shaping how you show up and respond. These times are calling us into a new kind of coaching — one where expanding your consciousness is the single highest leverage move you can make as a coach.

Unlocking Leaders is for coaches who are ready to answer the call of these times.

Higher-consciousness coaches are about to become sought after in an AI-dominated world. As AI coaching becomes more prevalent, there’s one question on all of our minds…

Will AI replace human coaches?
Yes. And no.

Research has proven that AI can guide goals and generate strategies — sometimes better than we can.

But AI has a ceiling. A place beyond which it cannot go.

In fact, if you ask it to go beyond process and procedure — into the realm of presence, awareness, and consciousness — AI coaching can actually push clients back into a lower level of awareness. 

AI can only operate at the rational level. It can solve complicated problems, but it cannot navigate complexity. And navigating complexity is the whole game now.

Today’s leaders don’t need more computer-generated information. They need coaches who can step into a uniquely human realm — and unlock the capacities required to navigate what’s ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this only for leadership or executive coaches?
No — this training is relevant for any coach working with humans navigating complexity, responsibility, or change. (Most of us!)

While the examples and applications focus on leaders, the core skills you’ll develop — working at the level of consciousness — apply across many coaching contexts.

How is this different from other coaching or leadership trainings I’ve taken?

Most coaching and leadership trainings focus on getting clients to take new actions.

Unlocking Leaders focuses on something deeper: the level of consciousness those actions are coming from.

Through elegant frameworks and techniques that work on the deepest levels, you’ll learn how to: 

  • Recognize the state your client is operating from in real time
  • Work directly with the patterns that shape how they perceive and respond
  • Support shifts in awareness that lead to new thinking and behavior

You may find that approaches you’ve already learned become even more effective after this training, because now they’re being applied at the level where transformation actually occurs, rather than only at the level of strategy or behavior. 

How will this change the way I coach or work with clients day-to-day?

This training shifts both where you coach from and where you can coach your clients to. You’ll learn to track your own state of consciousness as well as your client’s, and how each state shapes what we can see, access, and act on. From there, you’ll learn how to guide consciousness shifts, rather than staying focused only on goals or behaviors.

In practice, this often means:

  • Spending less time trying to “solve” the problem
  • Recognizing reactive patterns more quickly (in both you and your client)
  • Asking questions that open up new awareness, not just new actions

Your sessions are likely to become both simpler and more impactful — because you’re working closer to the source of change.

What experience level do I need to take this training?
While there is no specific amount of experience required, our trainings are focused on more advanced coaching skills for existing coaches. However, they are delivered in a way that you should understand even if you are a relative beginner. If you are brand new to coaching and personal development, you may be better served attending an introductory coaching program.
Can this realistically fit alongside a full-time job or client load?
Yes. The program is designed for working professionals. All sessions are recorded and downloadable, so you don’t need to attend every live workshop to benefit fully. Many participants balance the training alongside full client schedules.

Also, because the work integrates directly into how you already coach, it often reduces effort over time.

How long will I be able to access the downloads of the training?
You’ll have guaranteed access for twelve months following the completion of the program. To retain them longer than this we advise that you download them onto your own computer.
Are the workshops live or pre-recorded?
All our workshops are live via Zoom video conference
Will I receive CCEUs?
Yes, if you meet the requirements, you will receive 21 CCEUs from the International Coach Federation.
Can I receive CCEUs even if I can’t attend the workshops live?
Yes, you will be awarded CCEUs for the missed workshop by viewing the recording and filling out an online form.
Is this training certified?
Yes. You will achieve a certificate of training from Coaches Rising, which will award you CCEUs from the International Coach Federation.
What is your refund policy?
We offer a 30-day money back guarantee. If you are not satisfied with this program for any reason, simply contact us at [email protected] within 30 days of the course start and we’ll be happy to issue you a full refund.
Is there a group discount available?
Yes, we’re offering a group discount for groups of 5 or more people. Contact us at [email protected] to learn more.
Do you offer scholarships?

Yes, there are a limited number of scholarships available. Fill out the form here to apply.
