With the now 900+ life coach training companies worldwide we stand for accreditation to protect and develop the coaching industry. We have to date trained more than 25,000 coaches worldwide.

Life coaching as a profession began only in the 1980s when Thomas Leonard, an American financial planner developed his career with a then relatively unheard of term ‘Life Coach’. Our CEO, Gerard O’Donovan was one of the first people in Europe to train with Thomas Leonard at Coach U, the very first school founded in 1992 by Leonard to train Professional Life Coaches. This was even before Tony Robbins launched his career as a ‘Peak Performance Coach’ in 1988 with his first Infomercial, Personal Power. in 1994 Thomas Leonard founded the International Coach Federation (ICF) and in 2000 Coachville.

Gerard went on to create and develop our 360-hour Accredited Life and Executive Coach Training Program which is accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF), The International Authority for Professional Coaching and Mentoring (IAPC&M), Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM), The Institute of Leadership and Management (TIL&M) and this training program is endorsed by The International Regulator for Coaching & Mentoring (IRCM). He is an internationally acclaimed authority in life and executive coaching and leadership. He is one of under ten fellow coaches in the world, a world class motivational speaker, consultant, author of A Coach’s Story and trainer.

Noble Manhattan’s reputation for creating superb life and executive coaches is second to none. Students are truly welcomed into the Noble Manhattan family, an international accredited life and executive coach training company with a heart.

We are always looking at ways to improve our 360-hour accredited coach training program but we also, as a coaching company pride ourselves on offering face-face video support, rather than masses of emails and communication that will not develop you as a coach. We also are one of the very few life coach training companies in the world to offer a PhD in Coaching with a University Accreditation.
