Testimonials
"My experience at The Hudson Institute was tremendous. I selected their certification program for several reasons:
1. Unique Models from Hudson and McLean -- stands apart from other programs in offering unique materials
2. Adult Learning Approach -- because of this approach, I both enjoyed and was well supported through the learning process
3. Comprehensive Learning Experience -- the program is well-rounded, including readings, project, extensive practices, and group work
Hudson Institute's program proved to be an excellent learning experience . . . one that I am pleased to endorse.

"As a 2005 graduate of the The Hudson Institute of Santa Barbara Coaching Program, I would simply say that the design and the execution of the curriculum was outstanding and clearly exceeded my expectations. The quantity and quality of assigned work proved to be challenging and enriching. While it’s often easy and painless to complete a professional certification without being "present" or 100% engaged, that’s not the case with The Hudson Institute plan and strategy. The program by design forces the participant to be entirely engaged with a unique blend of organization and deadlines. I will say that this formula also provides the flexibility for the learner to be successful in his or her learning style. Finally, the availability and access to the program directors, coaches, and program administrators was phenomenal! I never felt alone during my 9-month journey! I am forever grateful to The Hudson Institute for the experience."

"This program did exceed my expectations! The quality of the participants was inspiring and the group leaders were very engaged, supportive and excellent role models. I think the entire program is brilliantly conceived and that became increasingly clear as I pulled together my portofolio; author talks, coaching clinics, readings, program director calls, coaching received, coaching provided, CIT weekends, coaching buddy....there is so much opportunity to learn and grow, and I feel that I did."

"The overall experience was outstanding. I found the leaders to be qualified and helpful, and the material to be valuable. I also greatly appreciated the fact that this program is structured to accommodate different participant perspectives - it works if you are going to coach internally, use coaching as a supplemental leadership skill, or start a business. It blends academics and application nicely. As a recent graduate, I feel confident in my coaching abilities."
