Let’s be honest: you didn't climb into the ₹20L–₹60L+ salary bracket just to spend the rest of your career chasing project updates, managing spreadsheets, and putting out daily workplace fires.
After 15+ years of leading teams in intense sectors like IT, BFSI, or consulting, a subtle shift happens. The thrill of hitting standard business targets starts to fade. You start looking for something deeper. You want to build a real legacy, mentor the next generation of leaders, and design a meaningful second career that you actually own.
But here is the catch: managing a team is completely different from transforming a person. When senior executives try to pivot into independent consulting or executive coaching without a proven, recognized framework, they often hit a wall.
They struggle to get clients to see their value, they rely on giving basic advice instead of creating deep behavioral change, and they lack the global credibility that corporate buyers look for.
That is where the Become a Professional Coach (BPC) program comes in. This is Matrrix's advanced, Level 2 ICF coaching certification pathway. It is designed specifically for senior professionals who want to master human behavior, build unquestionable market authority, and transition into high-ticket coaching, without guessing their way through it.
Not all training is created equal. Here is how our two core tracks split based on where you are today and where you want to land:
| Your Goal | The Level 1 Track (BAC) | The Level 2 Advanced Track (BPC) |
| Who it’s for | Managers, HR specialists, and professionals building a baseline skillset. | VPs, Directors, CXOs, and seasoned consultants aiming for the top tier. |
| Deep-dive hours | 60 hours of foundational training. | 125 hours of advanced behavioral mastery. |
| Core focus | Mastering the baseline ICF core competencies. | Blending ICF standards with advanced psychology and business-launch systems. |
| The outcome | A direct route to your ICF ACC credential. | The ultimate fast-track to the prestigious ICF PCC credential. |
We don't do boring, dry lectures. The BPC program is a hands-on, interactive incubation space split into two distinct, high-impact phases:
Phase 1: Embodying the Master Coach Mindset
First, we ground you in the core ethics and habits of a true professional. You will learn how to create deep psychological safety so clients open up completely. You'll master the art of setting airtight agreements with corporate sponsors and learn to listen for the subtle things your clients aren't saying out loud. This builds a natural, highly confident coaching presence whether you are working face-to-face or virtually.
Phase 2: The Human Behavior Blueprint
This is where you get your competitive edge. We layer advanced behavioral science directly over your corporate experience, giving you tools drawn from:
We don't believe in checking off boxes or just passing an exam. The main goal of this program is to transform you into a highly skilled, world-class professional coach who can walk into any corporate boardroom or private session with total confidence.
Through our partnership with global coaching leaders, we have built a curriculum designed to unleash human potential. It bridges the gap between basic theory and real-world execution, giving you a structured pathway to earn an ICF credential while building an authentic identity as a leader.
