Our MCC in Community program is currently in the process of obtaining ICF Level 3 accreditation, building on the same rigorous standards as our fully-accredited Level 1 and Level 2 programs.
I'm Christi Byerly, MCC, CEO & Founder of Awaken Coach Institute.
When I first envisioned the MCC in Community program, I wanted to create something that didn’t just meet credentialing requirements but transformed what those requirements could mean. Mastery in coaching isn’t something you achieve alone—it’s cultivated in the spaces between us—in the shared growth, vulnerability, and creativity that only community can provide.
I think of the murmuration of starlings—millions of birds migrating together in dynamic harmony. Each bird contributes, responding to and leading others in a dance that is both individual and collective.
This is the essence of MCC in Community. As coaches, we each bring our unique gifts and experiences, but it’s the interplay—the way we learn, stretch, and inspire one another—that elevates us all to mastery.
This program is for coaches who crave depth and connection, who understand that true presence goes beyond techniques or checklists. Here, presence is fully embodied, community is brave and loving, and mastery becomes a way of life rather than a milestone.
If you’re ready to join a murmuration of masterful coaches, moving together in bold, beautiful harmony, this program is for you. Let’s create something extraordinary—together.
