High Potential

You're achieving a lot and want to expand your leadership reach? 

The Academy is a profound and important education experience that teaches not only about coaching, but about leadership - and ultimately, about oneself. It's an exploratory journey in finding out more about motivation, assumptions, fears, and methods for unlocking trust, teamwork, and growth.

The Story Behind.

I’ve spent my career leading change. I learned quickly that strategies and systems don’t create lasting impact. People do. 

 

​When I was asked to lead a major transformation, I felt out of my depth. Coaching gave me the tools I was missing:  to listen differently, ask better questions, and help others step up. It changed how I led and how I lived. 

 

What began as a skill that helped me as an executive has become the work I now dedicate my life to.  

​

The Academy is my way of giving back. Every year - via the ICF Foundation - we gift over CHF 150'000 in scholarships so cost never becomes the reason someone can't learn to coach. 

 

Each cohort is small, international, and carefully curated. Designed for busy professionals, the learning is flexible but deep.

​

And because coaching should not be a privilege, we created Win-Win Coaching as part of the Academy. It gives our learners practice with external clients while opening access to people and organisations who would not usually afford coaching. Everyone benefits.  

​

The Academy.

Our flexible online programmes are accredited by the International Coaching Federation. Designed for busy leaders, they equip you to ask better questions, empower teams, and lead change with confidence. 

 

Whether you're leading a team, driving transformation, or exploring coaching professionally, our training equips you to create lasting impact, without adding overwhelm.

"The training fundamentally shifted how I approach both coaching and life. What made this training exceptional was Lise: she embodies coaching principles perfectly, creating an environment where genuine growth was inevitable. I didn't just learn coaching; I changed: more present, more skills and more conscious of the continuous need to learn and grow. The investment continues to "pay dividends" in ways I'm still discovering. Lise truly sets the gold standard for professional development​"

Why Coaching Works.

  • ​Increase Self-Awareness: Recognise your patterns and biases to lead authentically and effectively. 

  • Build Trust and stronger working relationships with your team and stakeholders through active listening. 

  • Navigate Difficult Conversations and handle feedback, conflicts and sensitive topics with confidence. 

  • Inspire Ownership and empower your team to find their own solutions. 

  • Make clearer, more informed decisions by asking better questions and listening to the unsaid. 

  • Strengthen your influence and credibility as a leader. 

In the scattered field of coach trainings, Lise's Academy stands out as a school of professionals, for professional. Lise's teaching and supervision offers constant opportunities for self-development. I recommend the Academy to leaders and to anyone wanting to enter the coaching profession.
