Do you thrive by helping other people grow and reach their full potential? Let us introduce you to Smart Growth Certification.
Growth doesn’t happen by accident. It takes a catalyst – and that catalyst can be you. The challenge is that to be a growth agent for others, you must first accelerate your own growth. Think about it this way: by investing in yourself, you can increase your investments in the people you care about. That’s where the Smart Growth Certification comes into play. Smart Growth Certification is a growth-focused program designed to equip professional coaches and human development aficionados with the necessary tools to support people along their growth journeys.
At Disruption Advisors, we believe leading by example is crucial to supporting the growth and development of both individuals and teams. Our Smart Growth Certification program is no exception to this philosophy. One certification participant reflected on this and highlighted how the program encourages you to walk your walk:
“What I say about going through this certification and [to] anyone who might be thinking about it is you actually experience it. It makes you a better coach because you can relate to where others are in their growth. It’s a very relatable and excellent experience… And boy did I learn some things about myself, as well.” – Professional Certified Coach, September 2023 cohort
Navigating the emotional terrain of growth is something we’ve all done before, though with mixed results. But when we get smart about growth, we are able to unlock “ah-ha’s” about our own development and experiences, whether it’s switching email platforms for a new job or taking on an incredible new responsibility. We work to understand the emotions associated with growth, so we can be intentional about how we navigate them. Understanding the emotional journey of growth allows us to accelerate our growth as well as the growth of our clients, teams, and organizations.
“The biggest benefit of Smart Growth Certification is the idea that we can open a whole new way of thinking about learning and lifelong learning, and apply it to almost every situation in life. And so we find ourselves at different launch points in our lives. It’s this wonderful way of looking at where we currently are, where we want to be, and continually being open to launch points, wherever they are.” – Consultant, March 2023 cohort
Smart Growth isn’t just a theory. It’s a framework that guides individuals and teams as they think and talk about growth, enabling them to do so in a clear, non-judgemental way. The Smart Growth concepts are fundamental tools in your human-development tool belt and are key parts of the program, but it is much more than just that. The Certification program allows you to learn from other practitioners while providing opportunities to practice talking about growth in a supportive environment. This ensures that when you eventually bring these concepts to the teams or individuals you support, you’re beyond the launch point jitters and are not only confident and comfortable talking about growth, but able to do so in a clear, relatable manner that applies to all aspects of life.
“I have a whole new toolbox around how to think about talent, how to think about teams, how to think about performance differently, and how to tie the performance of individuals and teams to the value of the organization.” – HR Executive, March 2023 cohort
Smart Growth isn’t an investment that only impacts you and those in your circle, it’s an opportunity to impact your organization’s approach to talent development.
“I feel it [Smart Growth] will have a transformational impact on Talent Development professionals who are working to improve the talent lifecycle of employees they serve.”
– HR Manager & Coach, July 2024 cohort
