Today Erickson’s certified programs are delivered on every continent and recognised by the International Coaching Federation (ICF).

With over 55,000 alumni across 130+ countries and more than 40 strategic partners worldwide, Erickson continues to expand its reach. Erickson India brings this legacy to India, offering professional coach training, corporate programs and personal development courses that empower leaders, teams and organisations.

In a rapidly changing world, individuals and organisations face unprecedented challenges. Erickson's solution‑focused approach concentrates on desired outcomes rather than dwelling on past problems.
