“I’m proud to share that I’ve successfully completed the Executive Coaching Diploma with AoEC. This journey has been both deeply personal and profoundly professional — a space for learning, unlearning, and growing. I’m deeply grateful to my mentors: Leila Rezaiguia ESIA, ICF PCC, EMCC SP, AC Fellow, ORSC, NLP, STC and Ebru Goksu Yildirim – ICF MCC, EMCC ESIA and CSA Coach Supervisor, whose guidance shaped my path, and to my peers, who challenged and inspired me with every conversation. Along the way, I’ve shaped a coaching philosophy that will continue to grow with me. At its heart is this belief: “Like a tree, coaching is about creating space to root deeply, grow steadily, and stretch toward possibility. It is grounded in presence, nurtured by trust, and made whole through courageous connection.” Coaching isn’t just a skillset. It’s a way of being. One that helps you become a better human, a more intentional leader, and a more compassionate coach.”

“The ADSG in-house Practitioner Diploma programme was very informative, reflective, organised and fun. Being part of the PD programme was a great opportunity for me to explore and grow. It provided me with clear structure and useful set of tools and techniques for my coaching sessions. It was also a room to learn about myself and my traits. Mentoring sessions with Leila were the extra mile to sharpen my skills, organise my thoughts and support my journey as a coach with one of the most skilful and experienced coach in the field. Leila is a great mentor, teacher, and coach. I learned so much from her vast experience and knowledge. She is very professional and I became a better coach under her supervision. Thank you for all your support.. Thank you for being YOU.”

“I would highly recommend the AoEC Practitioner Diploma programme as it adds immense value to both aspiring and experienced coaches alike. As an experienced coach, it served as a great reminder of the key coaching skills, coaching models, and included powerful creative coaching tools to say the least.”

“One thing is definite about this coaching program: it is a big learning curve. I saw it as an opportunity for me to grow, expand my knowledge, and become better as a coach. The faculty are amazing at giving feedback and pushing you to stretch your limits. I am now more aware of myself as a coach, better at implementing my coaching skills, and more willing to work with clients around me!” It further enriched my coaching credentials by being triple-accredited by the three major global coaching bodies.”

“This program has come at the right time in my career and personal life, it has supported my mindset and helped me gain new skills that I am practicing every day with my family, colleagues, and future clients.”

“The course is very professional and engaging. It equipped me with the tools I needed to take my coaching to the next level!”

“It is a really great program with multiple learning approaches and styles that can fit any learner.”

“I commenced this journey to be a better manager, and I have left a better person.”

“The program is well structured and introduces the art of coaching in an interactive and engaging manner. The faculty have extensive experience and conduct the program in a warm and friendly environment.”

“When I joined the course, I was skeptical about coaching and what it could do to transform people. Now that I have finished the course, I have gained a lot of insights that coaching is a must-have in all organizations to help people transform themselves.”

“My journey with the program was a great opportunity to tap into my coaching skills, learn, apply, and practice. The program is very well structured and balanced to ensure a fruitful environment to take the program in full and be present.”

“My learning journey has been great so far with AoEC. It has comforted my decision to develop my coaching skills and strengthen my eagerness to continue the journey and develop coaching as a business.”

“My experience in the Practitioner Diploma program has been truly valuable and transformative. I learned a great deal through the structured learning journey, practical exercises, and the support of knowledgeable and experienced Faculty. The diversity of participants and the mix of classroom and virtual sessions made the programme engaging and enriching. Despite some challenges, like selecting practice clients and travel costs, I feel more confident and well-prepared as a coach. I highly recommend this program to anyone seeking to grow personally and professionally in coaching.”

“Before signing up for this programme, I researched several providers, but from the moment I spoke with Leila, I knew this was the right choice. It was immediately clear that she genuinely cared about finding the right fit, rather than simply filling spaces. That initial conversation gave me complete confidence in both her approach and the programme itself. The programme really exceeded my expectations. The content was well thought ou,t and the delivery was a mixture of theory and practical application that I could then put into practice immediately with my clients. I really could see and feel the change in my coaching style and confidence after each module. The real standout, though, was the faculty. You could tell they absolutely love what they do. Their energy, passion, and depth of experience made every session feel fun, impactfu,l and engaging. It was clear that this programme was not just about sharing knowledge, they challenged us, supported us, and genuinely cared about our growth. I came out of it feeling inspired, more confident, and with a much deeper understanding of who I am and who I want to be as a coach. Leila, Ebru, and Irene delivered a truly transformational programme that I would highly recommend to anyone considering becoming a certified coach.”

“The coaching programme has been so much more than just a course—it has been truly eye-opening and transformative for my life. I came in expecting to learn new skills, but what I gained was far deeper. I learnt a great deal about myself—the good and the not-so-good—in a way that was honest, constructive, and ultimately empowering. It challenged me to reflect, grow, and embrace who I am, fully and unapologetically.

The faculty are nothing short of incredible. They are not only experts in their field, but also warm, compassionate, and deeply human. From the very beginning, they created a space that felt safe, encouraging, and non-judgmental. Their support was unwavering, and their belief in each of us helped us believe in ourselves. What stood out most was their invitation for everyone to show up as their full, authentic self—and to own it with pride. That level of acceptance is rare, and it made all the difference.

Beyond the content and credentials, this programme offered real connection, community, and personal growth. I leave not just with tools and knowledge, but with a clearer sense of self, a stronger voice, and the confidence to bring my whole self into my coaching and leadership. I can honestly say this experience will stay with me for life.”
