Directory of Certified Coaches
All Certified NeuroTransformational Coaches have first completed a recognized coach training program* before completing all four modules of BEabove Leadership’s Neuroscience, Consciousness and Transformational Coaching, a total of over 81 classroom hours (in addition to their core coach training). Upon completion of these modules, our certified coaches have then completed a rigorous Certification Program, which includes additional reading, review, coaching supervision and feedback. At the end of this program, they must pass a comprehensive written test (essay format) covering key neuroscience topics, as well as a one-to-one interview and coaching proficiency test. We’re very proud to recommend all our CNTCs as transformational coaches and experts in the neuroscience of human development. *in some rare cases, they may instead be trained as therapists — see individual information for more detail.
Neuroscience, Coaching and Relational Trauma Coaches have first completed classroom training with an ICF accredited coach training program or reasonable equivalent, but are not required to be certified or hold an ICF credential by the time they start this program. Upon successful completion of the program, coaches will receive a total of 33 ICF CCEUs: 20 for core competency and 13 for resource development.
Suzanne Dion is the co-author of The Enneagram, Relationships, and Intimacy: Understanding One Another Leads to Loving Better and Living More Fully, written with her colleague and mentor, David Daniels, M.D., of Stanford University. The book integrates the science of Dr. Dan Siegel’s Interpersonal Neurobiology with the wisdom of the Enneagram to foster personal, relational, family, and professional growth.
Suzanne is a certified coach through The Enneagram in Business with Ginger Lapid Bogda, is certified by and serves on the faculty of The Deep Coaching Institute and has trained with Dr. Andy Hahn, founder of Life Centered Therapy.
She is a co-founder of The Attuned Parent Project and a founding board member of the Enneagram Prison Project, where she developed curriculum and taught the Enneagram to incarcerated men and women throughout Northern California, including San Quentin State Prison, fostering self-awareness, emotional regulation, and lasting personal transformation.
Suzanne's trauma-informed coaching integrates attachment, neuroscience, and the Enneagram to help individuals, families, and teams develop the self-awareness, emotional capacity, and relational presence needed for greater intrapersonal liberation and interpersonal success.
