Process expertise for professional, executive, founder, family-enterprise, and career-transition coaching.
Know the architecture. Hold the process. Protect the relationship. Help the client author the change.
Available exclusively to members of the HWH® Coach Club.
The work of leadership has changed faster than the support around it. The decision load has multiplied, the half-life of skills is collapsing, and the people carrying the most consequence have the least room to think. This is the gap a process-expert coach fills.
More data has not produced better decisions. What leaders lack is not information — it is a coherent system for turning signal into judgment, and judgment into action. That is a whole-system problem, and it needs a whole-system coach.
A leader is not a set of competencies bolted to a job description. They are a living system — thinking, feeling, relating, deciding — nested inside other living systems: a team, a family enterprise, a board, a market. Coach one dimension and the system snaps back. Coach the architecture and the change holds.
The competencies that determine whether a professional can operate inside complexity without fragmenting.
What changes when your decisions land on other people's lives, and the consequence is no longer yours alone.
The client-facing ecosystem — books, eCourses, journals, assessments, AI companions — teaches the developmental content. This training teaches you to hold the process through which clients apply it.
You cannot coach a leader's decision-making while ignoring the human being who makes the decisions. Performance problems are rarely only performance problems — underneath them sit sleep, meaning, identity, marriage, health, grief, and a nervous system under sustained load. A purely professional lens will miss all of it. A whole-system lens catches it.
Prerequisite and recommended foundation. HWH ICF Level 1 coach training is a prerequisite for this program. The HWH® Holistic Wellness training is the recommended basis — it is where coaches do their own identity work and learn the whole-person approach they will later have to hold, steadily, for executives and founders under real pressure.
The validated whole-person, whole-system map — normed against 740+ participants, with T1 → T2 delta tracking. It measures personal, professional, and relational well-being together, because that is how they actually operate: as one system, not three.
Foundational to professional clarity, performance, and success. You cannot separate a person's judgment from the system they are living inside.
You choose a primary lens and stay fluent across all three — because real engagements refuse to stay in their lane. A career transition surfaces inside an executive engagement; a founder's succession question is also a family-system question.
For individual contributors, midcareer professionals, and emerging leaders learning to operate with impact inside a system they did not design.
For executives, founders, family-enterprise leaders, and those coaching into boards, investors, and organizational politics — where the decision load is heaviest and the room for error is smallest.
For clients designing a next chapter — by choice or by force. Redundancy, reinvention, re-entry, retirement, and the identity work underneath all of it.
Every class is built for demonstration, practice, feedback, and discussion — not lecture. Short conceptual framing exists only to support sound process decisions. Cases rotate across the three specialty focuses and the four practice contexts.
Practice context, role integrity, and contract hierarchy. Who is client, sponsor, payer, data controller — and what can you actually promise about confidentiality?
Sponsor discovery, one-page proposals, pricing, scope, invoicing — and the criteria for declining an engagement.
Mutual fit, coaching readiness, covert performance management. Accept, revise scope, coordinate, refer, or decline — with warmth and clarity.
Agreements, client-owned goals, developmental arcs, and integrating books, eCourses, journals, and AI companions without becoming the instructor.
Selection, consent, debrief, data ownership, reassessment and delta. Mirror-not-verdict framing — including when a sponsor asks for results.
Opening alignment, difficult midpoints, recontracting, and closing — progress discussion without reporting private session content.
Managing up, stakeholder mapping, escalation, optics, boards, investors, founders — coaching discernment without supplying political strategy.
One-to-one conflict coaching vs. a limited joint conversation vs. mediation vs. referral to HR, legal, governance, or therapy.
Conflicts of interest, information walls, and role boundaries — proceed, recontract, separate roles, refer, or decline.
Reassessment, delta findings, ROI/VOI language without overclaiming causality, closure, continuation — and your practicum learning plan.
Before every case, you complete a Practice Container Declaration: Who engaged and pays the coach? Who is the client? Who holds the contract? Who may receive what information? Whose policies, technology, and IP govern the work?
Process knowledge becomes practice competence only under supervision. The separate 40-hour HWH® Personalized Supervised Coaching Practicum converts what you learned into supervised client work — in the focus area you choose.

Available to eligible graduates through active HWH Coach Club membership. Also attaches to other HWH specialty trainings when prerequisites are met.
Advanced coaching gets hard in specific, lonely places — the sponsor who wants a result they aren't entitled to, the case that keeps you up, the credential paperwork you keep postponing. So we hold the door open every Monday. Drop in when you need it; nothing is mandatory.
The mentor coaching required on your ICF credential pathway — observed practice, direct feedback against the ICF competencies, and the documented hours you need for ACC, PCC, or MCC.
Explore ICF Mentoring →Reflective supervision for the cases that stay with you. Where role integrity, dual relationships, sponsor pressure, and your own reactivity get examined rather than carried.
Two open windows a week. Bring a contracting question, an assessment debrief you're unsure about, a proposal you're drafting, or a referral decision you want a second read on.
The unstructured hour. Colleagues, not competitors — the part of the week where the practice stops being solitary.
Pricing, positioning, proposals, pipeline, and the commercial side of a coaching practice — the conversation most training programs never have with you.
Peer practice and co-creation between sessions — where reps happen and the community actually forms.
All sessions are included with active HWH® Coach Club membership and run alongside your training and your 40-hour practicum. Attendance is optional — the support is not conditional.
The 40 hours are the same either way: 20 synchronous, 20 asynchronous, held to the same ICF-accredited standard. What changes is the rhythm — and whether you wait for a start date or begin now.
Build a personalized independent study plan with faculty, work the asynchronous curriculum at your own pace, and earn your synchronous hours live in the Monday drop-in sessions — which run 35 weeks a year.
Ten weeks, one two-hour live practice lab each week, with the same group of coaches — the classic route, and the one that builds the deepest practice relationships.
Both routes require active HWH® Coach Club membership and lead into the same 40-hour supervised practicum. Not sure which fits? Book a discovery call →
Coaching is a largely unregulated industry. Accreditation is the difference between a claim and a standard — and it is increasingly the gate you must pass to be hired at all.
The ICF credential is the most widely recognized standard in professional coaching. ACC, PCC, and MCC are understood by buyers across markets and borders — your credential travels with you.
These 40 hours apply as ICF-accredited Level 2 or Level 3 coach education toward your PCC or MCC pathway — and continuing-education hours count toward credential renewal, so the learning does double duty.
Many organizations, coaching platforms, and enterprise buyers will not contract a coach without an ICF credential. Accreditation is often the first filter — before anyone reads your bio.
You are held to a published code of ethics and a competency framework — which means your client, and your client's sponsor, know exactly what standard you are practising to.
Accredited education requires observed practice, direct feedback, and evaluation against a standard — not a certificate for showing up. That rigor is what makes the credential worth something.
The credential answers the sponsor's first question before it is asked. When you are the only unregulated professional at the table, that matters more than it should — and it does matter.
Most coaches have testimonials. HWH coaches have evidence. Validated instruments, before-and-after delta reporting, and dashboards that show measured movement across specific dimensions — so clients can see their own progress and sponsors can see the return.

Self- and other-rater view across the eight core professional competencies. Where the gap between intent and impact actually lives.

The five leadership competencies, seen from every direction — the mirror executives rarely get held up honestly.

The validated whole-person baseline. Award-winning, outcomes-validated, and the anchor of the HWH developmental arc.

The patterns beneath the behavior — how a person moves through pressure, conflict, and change.

Direction, readiness, and identity coherence for clients designing their next chapter.
Reassessment and delta review across the engagement — observable movement, in language that survives a boardroom without overclaiming causality.

Also in your toolbox through Coach Club — the relational mirror. Because the executive who cannot get home is not, in fact, performing.

The team-level mirror — the natural bridge from one-to-one executive coaching into AATC team coach training.
You will learn to select, administer, frame, and debrief every instrument — including the hard parts: respondent selection, consent, data ownership, contradictory findings across mirrors, and what to do when a sponsor asks for a result they are not entitled to. Individual results are private to the assessed person and are never automatically routed to managers, sponsors, HR, platforms, or dashboards. Sharing requires explicit informed consent, a clear developmental purpose, and agreement on exactly what will be shared, by whom, and in what form.
One-to-one executive coaching keeps running into the same two edges: the team the leader is actually accountable for, and the life they go home to. Coach Club membership opens both doors.
HWH is accredited for the ICF Advanced Accreditation in Team Coaching (AATC). When the executive engagement surfaces a team problem — and it will — you can take that engagement too, with the Team Pulse™ as your mirror, rather than referring the work away.
Explore AATC Team CoachingEvery HSA™ book, client eCourse, workbook, journal, assessment, and AI companion is available to give your clients — delivered under your brand in the co-branded HWH App, so the work continues across the 167 hours a week you are not in session.

Most certifications hand you a certificate and wish you luck. Through the HWH® Coach Club you leave here with a delivery system: a licensed methodology, validated assessments, a co-branded AI-powered app for your clients, revenue infrastructure, and a community that co-creates rather than competes.
Your clients get the HWH App under your brand — assessments, eCourses, journals, and AI companions, all in one place. You show up as a practice, not a freelancer.
List your practice in the HWH marketplace and receive referrals from an ecosystem that is actively selling into both the coach and enterprise markets.
Delta reporting means corporate buyers can see the return in the data, clients stay longer because they can see their own movement, and you can justify premium pricing with evidence rather than adjectives.

GDPR-compliant, privacy-first AI coaching companions. Clara™ supports you between sessions as a coach copilot; Fergus™, Mojo™, Sofie™, and Zola™ support your clients — context-intelligent companions trained on HWH methodology that read assessment data in real time, not generic chatbots bolted onto a platform. Privacy-first architecture, GDPR-compliant from day one. And a firm ethical line, taught in the training: AI companions are reflective scaffolding. Coaches do not outsource ethical judgment, assessment interpretation, sponsor communication, referral, confidentiality, or session presence to AI — and confidential client, organizational, legal, or health information is never entered into unauthorized systems.
HWH® executive coaching and leadership programs have been delivered inside some of the most demanding organizations in the world, and beta-tested at scale with hundreds of leaders. Below is the evidence — clients, outcomes, and what the people we worked with actually said.

“I’m really and truly obsessed with my coach, Dr. Lisa Leit (MCC), who sets an incredibly high bar. The way she combines presence, complete command of ICF competencies, and practical tools from her holistic approach keeps me learning and growing in a meaningful direction.”
“I can’t say enough nice things about how impressed I am with Dr. Lisa Leit. She is an amazingly gifted educator and coach, and I have benefited tremendously from her guidance, both personally and professionally. I have also referred Lisa and her team to those seeking executive coaching and organizational leadership — and her results are just outstanding.”
“It turns out you can take care of yourself and give more to an organization. You can be whole. It doesn’t have to be this vampire exercise. That, to me, is the major allure of this work, because there is no help unless you identify and stop your co-dependence. That’s why this work is so revolutionary.”
“Thanks so much Dr. Lisa Leit and Angela Hollingsworth Gohokar — it was amazing to get your guidance and great inputs. Loved it!! Awesome session and very engaging.”
“The highlight of the [Conscious Capitalism] concurrent sessions was the illuminating Dr. Lisa Leit, Founder of the Happy Whole Human Institute for Holistic Wellness — with client partner Jessica Agneessens of the Academy for Conscious Leadership at Whole Foods Market co-presenting on the customization of the HWH™ Program for Whole Foods.”
Over 18 months, Dr. Leit beta-tested the Holistogram™, HWH® coach training, and the HWH® program with hundreds of Whole Foods Market leaders — a paid in-store engagement plus leaders from every region.Read All Reviews

Syllabus V1.0 · Practitioner Track
Ten practice labs · assessment lifecycle · ethics & data standards · practicum spec · PDF
HWH Level 1 graduates developing toward PCC-level practice through a Level 2 pathway, and qualified PCC coaches developing toward MCC-level practice through a Level 3 pathway. It suits internal coaches, independent executive coaches, platform coaches, private practitioners, and HWH-certified co-branded contractors working with professionals, emerging leaders, executives, founders, family-enterprise leaders, and people in career transition.
Yes — 40 hours of ICF-accredited Level 2 or Level 3 coach education: 20 synchronous plus 20 asynchronous hours. A separate 40-hour supervised practicum follows.
Either. The cohort runs ten consecutive weeks with one two-hour live practice lab each week. The self-paced fast track lets you start whenever you are ready: you build a personalized independent study plan with faculty, work the asynchronous curriculum on your own clock, and earn your 20 synchronous hours live in the Monday drop-in sessions, which run 35 weeks a year. Both routes carry the same 40 accredited hours and the same standard. Ask about the next cohort →
No. Completion documents 40 hours of ICF-accredited Level 2 or Level 3 coach education according to your enrolled pathway, and the record may identify your selected specialty focus. It does not itself confer an ICF credential, an HWH specialty-practice distinction, or authorization to use all HWH proprietary assessments and programs — those may require additional education, the supervised practicum, faculty approval, active membership, assessment authorization, and applicable licensing agreements.
A separate supervised coaching practicum in your chosen focus — General Midcareer & Emerging Leadership, Executive Leadership, or Career Transition. It requires two to four client systems with at least five sessions each (no more than 15 with one client system), two de-identified case studies, a recorded presentation to the HWH coach community, and a written analysis of how the practice context shaped your contracting, confidentiality, assessment use, referral, and closure decisions.
It is not sold separately. This training is one of the credential tracks unlocked by HWH® All-Access Coach Club membership. Two ways to pay: $12,000 one-time (paid in full, nothing ongoing) or $5,000 one-time enrollment plus $199/month. Either way you get lifetime access to ICF Level 1, 2, 3 and AATC Team Coaching, this Executive Leadership track, the 40-hour supervised practicum, the assessments, the co-branded app, and the revenue share. If you do not yet hold Level 1, that is $2,500 + $99/month and is the prerequisite. Installments are available via Klarna, Afterpay, and Intuit Credit Karma, and group or organizational pricing is available on request.
This program is available exclusively to eligible HWH Coach Club members. HWH ICF Level 1 coach training is a prerequisite, and the HWH® Holistic Wellness training is the recommended foundation — it is where you do your own identity work and learn the whole-person approach. You will also need active Coach Club membership and access to the required books, client-facing eCourses, assessments, and the HWH App.
AI companions are reflective scaffolding for clients between sessions, and Clara™ is a copilot for you. The architecture is privacy-first and GDPR-compliant. The training is explicit that coaches may not outsource ethical judgment, assessment interpretation, sponsor communication, referral, confidentiality, or session presence to AI, and that confidential workplace, client, legal, health, or proprietary information may never be entered into unauthorized systems.
No. Proposal, pricing, invoicing, contracting, platform, employment, privacy, and business-administration content is educational only. It is not legal, tax, accounting, insurance, employment, or regulatory advice. You remain responsible for obtaining qualified professional advice and complying with the laws, ethical standards, contracts, and policies applicable to your work.
Know the architecture. Hold the process. Protect the relationship. Help the client author the change.
