The ECOC Experience

Our core mission is to produce world class executive coaches and organizational consultants through a meticulously designed end-to-end experience that includes an initial five-day immersion program along with a blend of on-line proprietary courses and cohort gatherings. Throughout the program students will experience a powerful and very personal story arc as they develop their own self-knowledge along with the knowledge and skills needed to begin their journey as executive coaches and organizational consultants working with world-class organizations. Our aim is to provide a high-touch environment where students will be exposed to the most current and innovative research and technology around leader and organizational effectiveness, human performance, and behavior change. The NYU ECOC program will be:

  • A Cohort Model: We believe learning extends far beyond the classroom. The ECOC program starts every Fall Semester with an in-tact cohort of students designed to build bonds and establish a collaborative learning environment where students can practice with each other and learn from a diverse set of perspectives.
  • Team Taught: The program will be team taught by a dynamic mix of core full-time NYU faculty and adjunct faculty from industry. To ensure students are exposed to a variety of healthy perspectives you can expect frequent appearances from outside experts and industry thought leaders both inside and outside of the classroom.  
  • High Touch: We will make sure to provide personal check-ins and frequent touch points (one-on-ones, group immersion sessions, events and social experiences) to allow for continuous dialogue between students and faculty.
