Why accredit with GLWS®
Organisations increasingly expect their coaches, consultants and internal specialists to bring real expertise in mental health and wellbeing, not generic advice. GLWS Accreditation equips you to meet that expectation with confidence, whether you’re supporting your own clients or building capability inside your organisation.
Help leaders sustain their edge
Today, precise insights into what’s enabling or depleting leaders, combined with ways to address imbalances are critical. With GLWS, you can give them exactly this.
You’ll be equipped with evidence-based tools to leave leaders feeling seen, heard and equipped to stay at their best, navigate pressure more effectively, prevent burnout and build the foundations for sustainable performance.
Bring rigour to how wellbeing is measured and addressed
Gain enterprise-wide intelligence on wellbeing and risk across individuals and teams, with practical recommendations for targeted and effective action.
Identify the underlying drivers of wellbeing and performance outcomes faster, so you can act earlier, allocate resources more effectively and meet evolving psychosocial risk obligations with confidence.
Earn recognised CPD while you accredit
GLWS Accreditation is formally approved for continuing professional development by two of the world’s leading coaching bodies:
- ICF — 12 CCE units (6 Core Competencies + 6 Resource Development)
- Association for Coaching — 12 CPD hours
So accreditation does double duty: you gain a rigorous new wellbeing capability and the hours count toward maintaining your existing credential. Deepen your expertise and keep your credential current, in one program.
More than accreditation
The GLWS System takes a data and science-driven approach to identifying wellbeing needs at individual, team and organisational levels, across the complete mental health and wellbeing continuum – from thriving to languishing. That breadth is why GLWS Accreditation has long been recognised as far more than training in a single diagnostic.
It’s a masterclass in leader wellbeing.
