Become a Person-Centered Coach
What is a Person-Centered Coach?
Keeping the momentum of your person-centered efforts requires intentional effort. Having key staff specifically trained to support, propel, and enhance your person-centered efforts is vital. Staff often need help using or implementing person-centered practices effectively. This is where having your own Person-Centered Coaches on hand can be of immense value.
Person-Centered Coaches are your on-the-ground Person-Centered Thinking support team. They can advise and help others further develop their PCT skills and assist leadership in incorporating PCT fundamentals into the services, supports, and future planning of the organization.

Every style of person-centered planning requires the foundation of a person-centered way of thinking.
Teaching and supporting the use of person-centered thinking skills will mean that it is more likely that plans will be used and acted on and the lives of people who use services will improve.
A foundational person-centered skill set will give you and your organization several ways to get plans started, so updating the plans will occur “naturally,” requiring less effort and time.
Credentialing a Person-Centered Thinking Trainer creates greater autonomy for your organization.
