Turn Your Best People Into Leaders
An accredited program of the International Coaching Federation
You hired good people. They’re capable. They just keep waiting for you to tell them what to do.
The problem isn’t your people. It’s that no one ever gave them a framework for leading independently — tools for making decisions without running everything past you first, confidence to solve problems before they become yours, the ability to develop others instead of waiting to be developed.
The Quadrant 3 Leadership Coach Certification gives them that framework. In 10 weeks.
Here’s how one COO described it when she considered bringing the program to her organization:
“When I was COO for a national organization, I wanted something that would help me fortify the folks around our CEO. These were really great operators who didn’t understand how to navigate strategy and operationalize it. Q3LC training would solve that.”
What Changes for Your Team
When your people go through the Q3LC, they come back different. Not because they learned a theory — because they practiced a system on real challenges in real time. Here’s what that looks like:
- They bring you solutions, not just problems
- They make decisions aligned with your vision — without needing you in the room
- They develop the people around them instead of waiting to be developed
- They lead through challenges instead of escalating them
- They build the leadership habits that compound over time
What does this mean for you? You get your time back.
“Every week I wondered ‘Were you in my office the past week?‘ The lessons were immediately applicable to what I was doing with my team. The course actually helped me be more productive and move things through a process more quickly.”

The Impact on Your Organization
“Taking the organization to the next level without feeling overwhelmed—learning how to get more out of your employees, more responsibility, and how to retain employees… The approach of coaching people versus being their boss transforms how your whole team operates.”

“After completing the program, I felt much more confident in my approach. It’s not just about technical skills—it’s about understanding how people approach problems and challenges in their lives, and helping them implement solutions in a way that actually makes sense to them.”

Your Instructors
Marc A. Pitman, CFCC, CSP
Marc designed and teaches the Q3LC because he’s spent more than two decades helping leaders build the teams they always meant to have. A Certified FranklinCovey Coach since 2003 with a Master’s in Organizational Leadership, he’s worked with founders, CEOs, and executives across three continents who needed their people to step up — and needed a proven framework to make that happen.
He’s the author of eight books including The Surprising Gift of Doubt, a member of the International Coach Federation, the International Enneagram Association, and the National Speakers Association, and serves as past-president of the ICF South Carolina chapter.
Emily J. Pitman, CPCC, ACC
Emily is a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) and Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with the International Coaching Federation. She brings 30 years of leadership experience across business, civic, and faith-based organizations — and a genuine ability to meet a leader exactly where they are.
At ejpitman.com, Emily works with leaders on paths of self-discovery, through seasons of feeling stuck, and during times of transition. She draws on strategic thinking, clear communication, and — yes — a pair of knitting needles to spark momentum and meaningful growth.
An “outgoing introvert” brimming with creativity, Emily is fueled by deep wells of hope and love, traits she weaves into every client interaction.
