Why TLA?

Talent Leadership Academy emerged from Dr. Jalal Mouti’s long-running and successful teaching, training, and coaching career at local, multinational, and educational institutions. Talent Leadership Academy is in the process of being accredited in 2021 by the International Coaching Federation which is recognizing as the highest standard of excellence in coaching programs.

Become a coah in 2021 is an 18 months, part-time program that combines self-paced online learning, live online intensives, as well as a practicum and a capstone project.  Offered 100% online with a classroom option.

You progress through the program with a single group of peers (a cohort). This unique format creates an experiential yet safe learning community in which you can foster connections, create and share knowledge, build leadership, and encourage greater success together. Throughout the program, you work in pairs, threes, and in small groups of 5–8 students, and are encouraged to work with one another in coach/client partnerships. The maximum number of learners in a cohort is 48.

Live Online Intensives: Ten days of live online sessions provide you immersive, high-touch, interactive learning hours. In these mandatory sessions, you practice coaching methodologies and frameworks with classmates and interact with instructors, guest instructors, mentor coaches, and alumni.

Modular Online Learning: Contribute, collaborate, and complete modules and assignments over the duration of the program within our virtual interactive classroom and online learning system, Canvas. Discuss posts, engage in personal reflective practice, and interact with each other under the supervision of an online moderator. Continually iterate and develop your coaching philosophy, competencies, and fluencies. Online groups are divided into four groups of approximately 12 students each.

Coaching Practicum: Experience, practice, and develop coaching skills by applying what you’ve learned, first with cohort peers and real individual clients, and then with organizational teams. Our team of ICF-accredited mentor coaches guides you and provides feedback throughout your practicum. The program concludes with a one-month team capstone project with learners working in small teams with an organizational team.

Organizational Coaching Project: Apply coaching skills and the International Coach Federation (ICF) core competencies in an organizational context and receive feedback on techniques and approaches. Refine a personal coaching philosophy, integrate reflective practice, and benefit from group learning and ongoing individual and team coaching.
