Additional information
Cohort Names
ALA Academy names our cohorts of students after words that correspond to authentic leadership coaching values and skills. This is simply more creative than naming them by season and year.
Payment Policy
Students are required to pay for the entire coach training program tuition up front. Payment can be made by check, Square Market, PayPal, or major credit card. All cohorts are contingent upon a minimum enrollment requirement in order to proceed as scheduled.
Refund Policy
Your 100% commitment and openness to the transformational learning process is essential to your coaching success. All registrations are final. There are no refunds for non-participation, cancellations, or dismissal due to a failure to honor Authentic Leadership Advisors’s Coach Training Agreement, for any reason. Participants who withdraw or are dismissed from the program must return all course content and Intellectual Property and may not claim any affiliation of having attended Authentic Leadership Advisors Academy.
