History
CTI was founded in 1992 by three of the earliest recognized luminaries in coaching - Laura Whitworth, and Karen and Henry Kimsey-House - whose earlier collaboration with Thomas Leonard gave rise to coaching as an industry.
Headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, CTI is the largest in-person coach training school in the world and the only program to teach CTI's ground-breaking Co-Active® Coaching model of coaching. CTI is also the very first organization accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF).
CTI's founders, along with Phil Sandahl, are co-authors of the ground-breaking industry bestseller, Co-Active Coaching: New Skills for Coaching People Towards Success in Their Work and Life.
"I'm more confident now, and it's not just because I have some important new skills, but that I've benefitted from the safe space the co-active model provides to be 100% yourself, without apology. Now, I'm successfully making the leap from journalism to having my books published."
