You’ve experienced the flips of Zen Leadership or the energy patterns of FEBI and see how powerful they can be in your own coaching. Or perhaps you’re a somatically-oriented coach just now encountering this pathway and finding it resonant.
Become a guide to others on the Way by first penetrating it yourself. In addition to Practitioner pathway courses and FEBI certification, Zen Leadership Coach certification requires regular attendance at our annual Master Class and training with our sister organization, Chosei Zen, including at least one intensive 4-day sesshin or keishin (i.e., online training).
This level of certification also offers greater interaction with and guidance from our teachers, as well as paid opportunities to coach for IZL.
When you’re not feeling whole, start digging.

“As a result of IZL and Zen training, I experience life with more energy and less fear or strain. I am more alive and open with my clients. I no longer try to fix their problems, but rather be with them in a still placethat allows insight to emerge from the connectedness in the moment.”
Dennis Tirman, Tirman Consulting, ZL Coach and Instructor
