What it is
Build the capability to deliver Fierce yourself.
Fierce Train the Trainer is a certification program that builds internal facilitation capability. Your people learn to deliver Fierce content, from foundational conversation skills to advanced leadership modules, so development scales without ongoing external dependency. Choose Core, Advanced, or the Full Pathway based on your organization’s needs.
“Facilitators are being asked to lead conversations they were never trained for. This changes that.”

Three paths to certification
Start where your organization is.
Where certification begins
Every path starts with Foundations.
Fierce Foundations® introduces the principles of Fierce Conversations and helps people question assumptions, explore different perspectives and address what matters. It’s where we recommend every organization begin, and it gives your facilitators a shared base for every module they certify in.

Frequently asked question
We already have some exposure to modules like Accountability and Influence. Does Tier 2 still apply?
Yes — and this is an important distinction. Prior exposure is not the same as formal certification. Tier 2 ensures deeper, more consistent facilitation, updated content models, and certification to teach the two brand-new modules: EQ and Generations.
New organizations typically start with Premium — it gives your certified facilitators the full capability from day one and avoids a second rollout conversation down the line. If your team has already completed Core, Tier 2 is the natural next phase.
Scheduling is open. Talk to a Fierce advisor and we’ll map the timeline to your rollout plan,” or the next real cohort date.
The Awareness module is an optional add-on to Tier 2 — it certifies your facilitators in DISC through Wiley. Worth discussing if behavioral awareness is already a priority for your leadership population.
