Account Executive

About Co-Active Training Institute:

As the trailblazers of coaching, CTI has emerged over the last 30 years to become the place where the best coaches and leaders are trained. At its core, CTI is a concept and modality on how to be in relationship with self, other, and a system. In the last ten years we moved from being founder-led to employee-owned and believe that our collective responsibility to our mission is what will make us thrive. Co-Active is so much more than courses, it is a way of altering how the world communicates, leads and creates change, and we believe that this change is and will be created by the people we train as coaches and leaders. We aspire to create a movement that brings more responsibility and wholeness to the leaders who want to create change at the level of self and system and believe Co-Active is the answer.
