Here’s What Clients
Are Saying
“As a coach, I now have a powerful new tool that enhances my ability to help clients increase self-awareness and understand those around them. The PrinciplesYou certification deepens client insights and facilitates better working relationships. One client resolved a two-year conflict with a co-worker after gaining new perspective through the debrief process. He found this self-knowledge invaluable and wants to share it with everyone in his life. I highly recommend this certification to all coaches looking to add depth to their practice.”
Michael Knouse
“I've integrated PrinciplesYou into my coaching sessions as an exceptional self-reflection tool. It provides clients with profound insights into how their traits influence their behavior and presence. While the assessment is comprehensive, the depth of insights is unparalleled. Many clients express surprise at the revelations, gaining a new understanding of themselves. Compared to other assessments, PrinciplesYou is both affordable and highly valuable. Its modern, science-based approach doesn't box people in, but rather provides awareness of how traits influence behavior. Personally, it helped me recognize the impact of free trait behavior on my professional adaptations.”

The PrinciplesYou Assessment was designed by a team of expert psychologists including Adam Grant in partnership with entrepreneur Ray Dalio of Bridgewater Associates. It’s rooted in the latest personality science and enriched with business acumen.
Not only does it provide invaluable personality insights, but it also explains how these qualities connect with particular archetypes and manifest in everyday life.
Coaches can use this comprehensive information and the PrinciplesYou Debrief Framework to design and execute corresponding coaching packages, making a greater impact by better understanding their clients, quicker.
One of the main principles of the course is the process of reflection and experimentation. So you’re constantly learning how to advance your skills and integrate your knowledge with clients along the way, rather than sticking with the model and training you’ve gotten and just doing that over and over again.
PrinciplesYou is a co-learning experience and encourages to engage with curiosity! The experiential learning approach will expand your work even further, and this will support you in debriefing assessment takers to reflect productively on their results and how they play out in their work and lives.
This comprehensive 9-module course spans over a 11-week period and employs a diverse range of effective learning techniques. The course includes LIVE practicums and Q&A sessions.
The next available cohorts are:
To get the greatest value, be prepared to invest between 25-28 hours to fully immerse yourself in the content and apply it to your work over the course of 11 weeks.
This is a combination of reviewing pre-work materials and content videos ahead of 90-180 minutes long practice sessions and follow-up knowledge quizzes to multiply the value.
The sessions will be hosted by Zack Wieder, Principles’ Chief Experience Officer, and Denise Clegg, an experienced executive leader, trainer, and coach. They developed this unique Certification course to teach you how to facilitate debrief sessions for the PrinciplesYou assessments with individuals through a combination of theory-based and experiential sessions.
The course has been designed to teach coaches how to facilitate assessment debrief sessions for PrinciplesYou assessment takers, and optimize your online presence on Coaching.com’s Principles Marketplace – directory of PrinciplesYou Certified Coaches.
There are currently 2 million PrinciplesYou assessment takers to date and 30,000 new users complete the assessment each month. Upon completion, all PrinciplesYou assessment takers are directed to the Principles Marketplace, for a paid debrief session.
Regardless of your previous experience, completing a PrinciplesYou Certification will open doors for you to debrief previous and new assessment takers by ensuring your profile is listed on the Coaching.com Principles Marketplace. There are currently 2 million PrinciplesYou assessment takers to date and 30,000 new users a month yet to engage in a paid discovery session with a Certified PrinciplesYou Coach.
We place a premium on attracting experienced coaches in order to keep the course’s standard high. Therefore, this course would be for a person who has had at least 3 years of coaching experience and has had experience in working with others assessments.
Both! Whether you’re working with corporate clients or leading teams within a company, you will benefit from being trained to thoughtfully and accurately “debrief” individual assessment results and help them incorporate personality insight and feedback in a way that enhances them and helps them expand their practice.
“Yes, the course can be used for team coaching. The Principles Coach Certification program not only equips professionals to conduct individual debrief sessions on the PrinciplesYou assessment but also enables them to extend their expertise to team coaching engagements.
During Modules 8 & 9 you’ll go through the PrinciplesUs Enablement part which allows you to utilize the PrinciplesUs platform and leverage the PrinciplesYou assessment within team contexts, thus enhancing your ability to coach teams effectively.“
