"The Newfield program has had the most impact of anything I've done in my 74 years of life. The cost, compared to the outcome I've had, just feels negligible at this point."

The power of CPPM
The difference nine months can make
Who CPPM is for?
For coaches, leaders, and
anyone ready to grow
People come to CPPM for different reasons. Maybe you want to become a masterful coach. Maybe you're a leader ready to deepen and refine your skills. Or perhaps you feel ready for a new chapter in your own life path. Whichever sounds like you, you're here to grow — and to make a meaningful difference. CPPM is where that next phase of learning begins.
FOR ASPIRING COACHES
Becoming a masterful coach
You'll learn to facilitate transformative conversations that create lasting change for your clients. Coaching at this depth is one of the most direct ways to serve another person's growth — and, one conversation at a time, help humanity discover its deeper potentials.
FOR LEADERS
Leading from depth
You'll learn to understand people more deeply through the art of deep listening, and to respond with skill rather than react. CPPM develops your emotional literacy, your access to wholeness, and your ability to hold different perspectives at once. Over time, this cultivates the compassion and empathy that engenders skillful action.
PERSONAL GROWTH SEEKERS
Doing the inner work
You'll come to know the deeper patterns that quietly run your life, and learn to shift them. You'll discover practices for meeting your pain, suffering, and inner conflict from a place of wholeness — and discover how that meeting becomes a profound key to inner transformation. Graduates often describe feeling more fulfilled, and watch their closest relationships change in meaningful ways.
The Program Structure
How CPPM unfolds
CPPM is a nine-month virtual program that unfolds in three phases, each building on the discoveries and distinctions that came before, each one taking you deeper. Phase one and two centers on a live virtual intensive, followed by weekly learning, one-on-one coaching, learning guides, online videos, and small-group exploration. As a whole, the program supports an unfolding from your own transformation, to coaching skill development, to entering the path of mastery.
PHASE I
Foundations of Ontological Learning
Months 1–4
The program begins with you. Before you learn to support others in their transformation, you engage in your own — shifting how you observe yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. A powerful coach or leader is someone who knows themselves deeply and has done their own development, so we start there. Over four months, you’ll learn the Newfield methodology and put it to practice in your own life, supported by live sessions, one-on-one coaching, small-group exploration, and a full library of videos and learning materials.
- Foundation Course (6-day virtual intensive)
- Module 1: Foundations of Ontological Learning (16 weeks virtual)
PHASE II
The Art of
Coaching
Months 5–8
With new self-awareness beneath you, you step into formal coach training. You’ll learn the Newfield distinctions that make ontological coaching so powerful, weave them together with the ICF Core Competencies, and practice extensively with real clients — a solid foundation in the ontological coaching tradition. Your learning is supported by mentor coaching, small-group practice, online video presentations, live training, and Studio Lab: recorded coaching sessions with expert commentary.
- Coaching Intensive (6-day virtual intensive)
- Module 2: The Art & Practice of Ontological Coaching (16 weeks virtual)
PHASE III
Integration & The Pathway to Mastery
Month 9 and beyond
The final stretch is where it all comes together. In the weeks leading up to the closing intensive, you’re guided through integration — returning to the models with more experience behind you, deepening what has already begun to take root. The intensive itself helps you embody all you’ve learned and you step across the threshold from learning how to coach to embodying your identity as a trained ontological coach — one who holds the competencies and the methodology quietly in the background, while what comes forward is transformative dialogue that’s emergent, creative, and carries the potential to change the lives of the people you work with. It’s also a celebration with the cohort you’ve gone so deeply with, many of whom become friends for life, and your entry into Newfield’s global community of graduates.

COMMON QUESTIONS
What people ask about the program
What is ontological coaching?
Ontology means "the study of being." In practice, it points to how our sense of reality changes when our meaning-making lens changes.
Ontological coaching is an exploration of who we are as an emergent process. It supports you in learning to "look at how you look" — at yourself, at others, at life itself. As your way of seeing shifts, something in you shifts as well, inwardly, relationally, even physiologically.
This tradition understands transformation as a reorganization of the way we interpret, embody, and participate with the world. It pays careful attention to the deep interconnectedness of language, soma, emotion, cognition, culture, history, and developmental perspectives — recognizing that these dimensions of being are not separate, but woven together into one dynamic coherency.
Through deep listening, conscious inquiry and attunement this work transforms the deeper structure of how you make meaning, and from that shift, you begin to enact a new world.
Do I need prior coaching experience to enroll in Newfield’s coach training program?
No, prior coaching experience is not necessary. CPPM is designed to meet you wherever you are. Many participants arrive with no coaching background at all, and many arrive with years or decades of coaching practice behind them. Both have a place in CPPM. What matters most is a commitment to showing up fully for nine months and a genuine desire to develop these capacities from the inside out — regardless of how much experience you're bringing in.
How much time should I expect to commit each week?
Most participants budget about seven hours per week across live classes, coaching practice, and self-directed learning, in addition to the three intensives. The program is rigorous by design. Most people find that the more they bring to it, the more they take away. If you'd like to review the full schedule before enrolling, Quentin is happy to walk you through it on your discovery call.
I'm not sure I want to become a professional coach. Is this the right program?
For many participants, it is. CPPM is a fully ICF-accredited coach training program, and many people who go through it come for personal transformation or leadership development rather than to build a coaching practice. The first half of the program is dedicated to personal application, and many alumni say that alone is worth the investment. The coaching skills developed in the second half deepen your capacity to relate to and work with others, whether or not you ever coach professionally.
Who is this program not for?
CPPM asks for nine months of genuine engagement, a willingness to be moved and challenged, and the capacity to show up fully. People looking for a quick credential or a light-touch introduction to coaching will find better options elsewhere. This program is for people who are ready to go deep.
What is an ICF Level 2 accredited coaching organization?
The International Coaching Federation is the globally recognized credentialing body for professional coaches. An ICF Level 2 accreditation means that our coach training program (CPPM) meets their highest standards for coach-specific education, mentor coaching, and supervised practice. Completing CPPM fulfills the educational requirements for both the ACC (Associate Certified Coach) and PCC (Professional Certified Coach) credentials, two of the most recognized coaching certifications in the world.
How does Newfield’s coach training program support ICF certification?
CPPM is an ICF Level 2 accredited program. Upon successful completion, you will have fulfilled the 125 coach-specific education hours required for certification and passed the Newfield Certification Exam, making you eligible to apply for your ACC credential at 100 coaching hours, or your PCC credential at 500.
Is Newfield’s coach training program online?
Yes. CPPM is delivered entirely online, with three live virtual intensives and two 16-week learning modules. Participants join from all over the world, and the global cohort is itself a meaningful part of the learning.
How does the program accommodate different global time zones for the live components?
Our community spans the globe, so participants join the cohort from all over the world. The three virtual intensives are our primary fixed time commitments, held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET on Wednesdays through Fridays to accommodate as many time zones as possible. Most everything else is designed to be flexible. Live module sessions are offered at multiple times, and you will coordinate the timing of your coaching sessions and peer learning groups. We also work intentionally to pair you with colleagues in compatible time zones.
What happens upon completing Newfield’s coach training program?
Graduation unlocks four key benefits:
- Certification: You earn ICF Level 2 accredited education (125 coach-specific hours), establishing your foundation for ACC and PCC credentials.
- Capacity: You gain a profound, lasting shift in how you lead, listen, communicate, and coach.
- Continuing Education: You are eligible for advanced Newfield courses to keep your practice evolving.
- Alumni Community: You join a global community of coaches, leaders, and practitioners committed to lifelong learning, networking and courageously being of service to the world.
Are payment plans available?
Yes. Payment plans are available for enrollment. Contact our Director of Client Engagement, Quentin Finney to walk you through what’s possible. The best place to start that conversation is on a discovery call.
