What is Creativity Coaching?
Creativity coaching certification is structured professional training for people who want to understand creativity-coaching principles and apply them when supporting writers, artists, performers, entrepreneurs and other creative professionals.
Unlike a general creativity course, this program combines lessons on the creative process with coaching methodology, reflective assignments, recorded training from Dr. Eric Maisel and practical coaching experience.
Participants may complete either the Creativity Coach Certificate pathway, which requires 25 hours of coaching practice, or the Creativity Coach Diploma pathway, which requires 50 hours. Both pathways are designed to develop practical understanding of creativity coaching, professional boundaries, coaching conversations and the challenges commonly experienced by creative people.

Will This Qualify You As an International Accredited Coach?
At Noble Manhattan Coaching we recognise that anyone can call themselves a coach. This programme is designed as additional training for those who are already coaches, or those who plan to coach informally or to self-coach.
It is accredited by the – International Authority for Professional Coaching and Mentoring (IAPC&M) but, on its own, it is not deemed sufficient to achieve personal accreditation as a coach by one of the independent coaching organisations, such as the IAPC&M, ICF, AoC, EMCC etc.
Both of our programs with Dr. Eric Maisel, our Creativity Coach Certificate Program and our Existential Wellness Coach Certificate Program, provide certification upon completion of training.
Certification is a significant milestone, valuable credential, and a marker of real accomplishment. We are proud to share that we are authorized as an official training center by the – IAPC&M ( International Authority for Professional Coaching And Mentoring ) are authorized to issue international certificates.
We see certification as a step toward independent coaching practice, where certified coaches increase their ability to coach independently by acquiring additional core competencies and by perhaps furthering their professional careers by garnering accreditation through organizations like the ICF (International Coach Federation), the IAPC&M (International Association for Professional Coaches and Mentors), or some similar organization that accredits practitioner coaches, senior coaches, and master coaches.
Certification is a real milestone and a valuable credential, and we believe it is a significant step on the career path of professional, independent coaching.
