WiLD LEADERS
CERTIFICATION PROCESS
We are on a mission to transform the way we develop leaders in the most powerful institutions in our world.
You can join this mission by becoming a Certified WiLD Facilitator or Coach. Our growing cadre is an elite group of people who each have the heart of a therapist and the savvy of an executive, but have likely been neither. They are committed to growing themselves and others into a generation of leaders who will bring thoughtfulness, conviction, hope, resourcing, strategic thinking, and deeply rooted care to the institutions and people they serve.
The WiLD Certification Program begins with becoming a WiLD Facilitator by completing the WiLD Toolkit & attending the WiLD Experience Intensive.
This program is led by WiLD Master Coaches who will guide you through all ten Tools and Feedback Reports of the WiLD Toolkit. During the sessions you will process through your own WiLD Toolkit results, and learn key techniques from our Master Coaches. At the close of the sessions, you will be prepared to take the WiLD Toolkit back to your organization, clients, or network and coach others.
