Go Deeper Faster with the WE-I Practitioner Certification

When we become aware of the patterns that shape how we relate to others—especially under stress—we open the door to deeper connection and lasting change. The WE-I Practitioner Certification offers a clear and powerful way to support that transformation, in ourselves and our clients.
START YOUR JOURNEY

Virtual, 9-Week Certification Training

As coaches, we’re often helping clients grow their awareness—of themselves, their choices, their patterns. But some of the most important dynamics are the hardest to see.

How do you help a client notice something that’s outside their awareness?

How do you reflect their internal landscape when even they don’t have words for it yet?

How do you gently shine a light on patterns that keep showing up in their relationships?

The WE-I Practitioner Certification gives you a way to do just that.

Rather than trying to help clients “get out of their own way” through insight alone, this training equips you with a tool and process to help them see and understand what’s happening beneath the surface. From this place of recognition, clients can shift how they relate—to themselves and others—even in moments of stress or conflict.

And it starts with you.

This training begins by inviting you into your own self-awareness. We hold space for your experience first, so you can connect more fully with yourself and bring that presence to your coaching.

You’ll work with the WE-I Profile, a unique instrument that reveals what’s happening internally when we’re under relational stress. It brings hidden patterns to the surface—so you and your clients can see how thoughts, emotions, and wants shape their way of relating.

Using the Profile, you’ll learn to spot key patterns in your clients' internal experience and how these patterns influence their relationships. It allows you to get to the heart of what’s really going on—so transformation doesn’t take months to emerge.

You’ll help clients build awareness, empathy, and the opportunity to choose how they want to relate, in ways that feel more intentional and aligned.

START YOUR JOURNEY

Illuminate what lies beneath: help your clients realize default patterns, navigate conflict more intentionally and create meaningful impact in their personal and professional lives.

Take a look below at how the program unfolds.

TAKE THE WE-I PROFILE

Your WE-I Profile Experience

Before the program begins, you’ll take the WE-I Profile—a real-time simulation that offers a unique window into your internal experience under relational stress.

You’ll receive:

  • Your personalized WE-I Profile report

  • A 1:1 debrief with a Certified Master Practitioner
    This powerful experience is the starting point of the program, giving you insight into your own patterns—and a felt sense of what your future clients will experience.

It’s your first step in understanding the depth and potential of the WE-I Profile.

Week 1 

WE-I Foundations

  • Date: Tuesday, September 30
  • Time: 10:30 AM – 5:00 PM ET / 7:30 AM – 2:00 PM PT

We begin with a full-day, live virtual kickoff session. On this day, you’ll meet your cohort, start exploring how we’re shaped in relationship, and begin to dive into the core dimensions of the WE-I Profile. It’s a rich, connecting day that sets the stage for the work ahead.

In the weeks leading up to this kickoff, you’ll also complete a series of foundational pre-work activities to help you arrive grounded and ready.

Weeks 2-9

Building Skill and Depth

  • Weekly Sessions: Every Tuesday from October 7 to December 9
  • Time: 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM ET / 8:30 – 10:00 AM PT 

After the kickoff, we’ll meet weekly for live 90-minute sessions where we continue exploring the dimensions of the WE-I Profile. You’ll learn how to interpret real profiles, develop your debriefing skills, and apply what you’re learning in small group settings.

Throughout this part of the program, you’ll work closely with a learning pod outside of the live sessions—a small group of peers—to reflect, experiment, and support one another in building confidence and fluency with the WE-I Profile.

The program ends with a final evaluation and completion session so you leave ready to use the Profile with your clients. 

You'll also receive...

  • 40 ICF CCEs (25 Core Competencies and 15 Resource Development)
  • A certification to facilitate the WE-I Profile, an instrument that’s been utilized by professionals to define and create a deep understanding of what they and their clients are experiencing internally.
  • A certificate of completion, WE-I Certification badge, and a social media kit for you to share your expertise and accomplishment!
  • A listing on Learning In Action’s Practitioner Network where you can showcase your practice and get connected with new clients looking for a WE-I coach.
  • An exclusive invitation to our Certified WE-I Practitioner community, DEEP

What Makes the WE-I Practitioner Training Unique?

Low Student-to-Teacher Ratio

Our student-to-teacher ratio and small personalized classes are two of the features that make our WE-I Certification Training unique. Training cohorts include anywhere from 10 to 25 trainees, and we incorporate learning partner meetings and breakout rooms to support an immersive learning experience.

We’re With You Every Step of The Way

Our team is committed to connecting with you on a weekly basis to provide personalized assistance, answer questions, and support you in integrating what you learn. We collect your feedback throughout the program to ensure it’s tailored to your needs and that your experience is rewarding. 

Hands-on Guidance Using the WE-I Profile

We all know the saying: practice, practice, practice. And neuroscience proves this is true. For this reason, hands-on and guided practice with the WE-I Profile is incorporated heavily into this program. You will receive a free WE-I Profile, and we will guide you through facilitating it with a practice client.

4A Balance of Interactive and Engaging Experiences

Using a strategic combination of live sessions, Q&A, interactive exercises, reflection, and breakout rooms, you’ll be transported into a meaningful and connected experience that will continue with you long after our 14-week journey.

A Rich Learning Environment

WE-I certification training cohorts consist of executive and leadership coaches, consultants, organizational development professionals, HR executives new to WE-I, and Certified WE-I Practitioners returning for a refresher. Sessions are led by our Director of Training and co-faculty of Master WE-I Practitioners with extensive experience in WE-I Profile interpretations. 

The spectrum of this training experience creates a rich and interactive learning environment — you will encounter opportunities for real-time feedback and various perspectives and approaches from knowledgeable professionals.

New to WE-I?

The Power of WE-I

WE-I is a term that refers to the ability to be present, connected, and mindfully in relationship with another. WE-I is rooted in the belief that we are already, always at the deepest level, connected with each other.

At Learning in Action, we seek to help people develop their WE-I by revealing the ways in which they are protecting and defending themselves (in ways they may not see) and supporting them in returning to mindful relationships with themselves and others.

Executive Coaching

This unique, experiential 9-week virtual training is especially for…

  • A coach or consultant who wants to do deep, meaningful work to make a powerful difference in the lives of their clients and is willing to take a bit of personal risk to do it.

  • An organizational development professional who wants to learn about themselves and their clients, navigate cultural challenges, and increase change potential within their organization.

  • An HR or corporate executive who wants to leverage relationships, shared experiences, and interpersonal awareness to improve effectiveness at an individual and team level.

  • A therapist or counselor who wants to feel confident in their ability to give their clients a different perspective on how they are moving through life.

  • Those who are courageous, empathetic, whole-hearted — and seek to have deeper, more comprehensive, and robust conversations with clients that move them forward faster.
