Build your method from your roots.

The tools were never the problem. The missing thing is a method that's unmistakably yours.

You've gathered years of skill, training, and experience. What you don't yet have is a method: one coherent way of working that carries your name, rooted in who you are, that others can feel and you can repeat. Your Method is the 138-hour journey where you build exactly that, not borrowed from a template, but excavated from your own roots.

First, choose where you want your own method:

You already run rooms full of people. Turn what you do into a signature program that carries your name: one your groups feel, that scales beyond you, and that other facilitators can deliver.

A Somatic Thinking journey · guided by Samer Hassan, ICF MCC · 138 hours · the deep build that Impact Engineering opens onto.

The ache

You can hold a room.

The workshop lands, the group leaves changed, and people ask who they should send you next. And still, what you deliver lives in your head, not in a method. You rebuild every cohort from memory; every great session is hard to repeat and impossible to hand to anyone else. You're known for being good in the room, not yet for a body of work that carries your name and outlasts the room you're standing in.

What it is

Your Method isn't more training. It's the journey where your method gets built.

Most programs add content on top of what you carry. Your Method does the opposite: it rearranges your relationship with what you already have, and turns your accumulated experience into a clear, documentable method you can stand behind, repeat with confidence, and be known for.

The conviction underneath it:

«ابنِ منهجك من جذورك»: build your method from your roots.

You don't borrow a method from a template that never quite fit our world; you excavate your own from your identity, your values, your message, your lived experience, and give it a structure. Because as an expert, you don't need more tools. You need an approach that expresses your authenticity.

What "your method" becomes:

A signature program you can run with any group, and teach other facilitators to run.

The journey

Four phases

Phase 01

Foundation

The journey doesn't begin with your method. It begins with you. The first and longest phase builds on two tracks that never separate: the human, and the craft. Your own ground is laid first: a deeper knowing of yourself, the balance of mind, body, and heart, and a presence that doesn't shake. And on that ground you learn the craft itself (professional coaching, the Somatic Thinking way). You learn how to accompany one person deeply, listening beneath the words, asking what opens rather than instructs, holding a conversation that moves someone. You practise with real people early, and you receive this work yourself before you ever give it: you live it from the inside first, the way every honest craft is learned.

Phase 02

Activation

Knowing how is not the same as having it in your hands. Here what you've learned gets activated: you coach real people across real sessions, record and review your own work, and sit with mentors who watch you practise and refine you one conversation at a time. You come out the other side not having studied the craft: having done it, under eyes that make you better.

Phase 03

Building

Now, and only now, the forge. It opens where every honest method opens: your identity. Who are you when you work? What are your values, your message, the story only you can tell? From that root you learn to carry what you do beyond one person: designing and leading group work whose depth doesn't thin as the circle widens. And then you begin to forge the method itself: from your roots upward, excavating your experience and what you inherited, testing every principle until it holds, giving it a structure, a name, a first session. A method aligned with who you are and where you came from, and validated by science, not by sincerity alone.

Phase 04

Graduation & Practice

The final touches. Your method's structure is completed and documented, its identity sharpened, and your professional strategy built around it. So you walk out carrying it into the world, with individual and group mentoring accompanying you to the door.

Whichever door you entered through, this is the same forge. What changes is what you build in it: your program, your way of leading, your company's operating method.

The hours of Your Method

The names of the phases are simple. What happens inside them is the work of 138 hours.

The four phases above trace the journey; the three parts here count its hours.

Total

138hours = the Level Two certificate

Foundation: 6 + 92 + 6 = 104 hours
Group Coaching: 34 hours

Your Method is the 138 hour path inside our program accredited at Level 2. Its hours as ICF's directory shows them: check it yourself

You can begin Your Method directly, with no Level 1 and no earlier experience. Your first 104 hours are with the same cohort as Level 1, and the start date is the same.

Stopped before the end of the program?

Your hours stack on one certificate: after the three milestones and a passed final evaluation you receive the Level One certificate (104 hours), and when you add a branch you receive the Level Two certificate once, printing your total hours. The Family and Couples branch comes after Group Coaching. Certificates of Partial Completion on their own do not qualify you to apply for the ACC, because ICF asks for the whole program.

From certificate to credential

Your checklist for the PCC

Half of it is inside Your Method; the other half you complete with ICF, in your own time.

Within the journey, inside Your Method

Education hours: 138 hours; ICF's minimum is 125
10 hours of mentor coaching, 3 of them one to one
The final evaluation

Yours, with ICF

Documented coaching hours, during your education and after it: 100 hours for the ACC (75 of them paid, with at least 8 clients, and 25 of the hours in the 18 months before you apply) and 500 for the PCC (450 paid, at least 25 clients, and 50 of the hours in the 18 months before you apply). Sessions with volunteer clients count as unpaid hours.

With ICF, in your own time

The credential exam · the application and its fee · Fees and routes on ICF's site
ICF sets its PCC exam under its current rules, so check its page before you book.

The two thresholds are 100 documented hours to apply for the ACC (75 of them paid, with at least 8 clients, and 25 of the hours in the 18 months before you apply) and 500 to apply for the PCC (450 paid, at least 25 clients, and 50 of the hours in the 18 months before you apply), and they build up with your practice. The ACC is not a prerequisite for the PCC.

Check the accreditation yourself

The 104 and 138 hour figures are ours, so look at what ICF's directory shows. Our program appears under two listings: Level 2 at 256 hours, and Level 1 at 79 hours, which are the hours of its original accreditation in 2018. Your Method is the 138 hour path inside the Level 2 accreditation. The update of Level 1 to 104 hours is with ICF for review.

How it's taught

It was never about being given more. It's about drawing out what's already in you.

Your Method is built on knowledge activation (التفعيل المعرفي), not information-transfer. You're never a passive recipient of a trainer's content; the whole journey is experiential, present-based, and mentored: every idea is something you live and then harvest, until it becomes part of how you work, not a note you forget.

And beneath the method sits a posture we hold dear: the «الكوتش المربّي», the educator who draws out rather than deposits. As Rumi put it, “I haven't come to give you something new. I've come to draw out a beauty you didn't know was already in you.”

The mistake is to think you're short of what others have: more frameworks, more theory, someone else's system. You are not short.

وتَحْسَبُ أنّكَ جِرْمٌ صغيرٌ … وفيكَ انطَوى العالَمُ الأكبرُ

“You think yourself a small thing, while within you the greater world lies folded.”

A line long attributed to Imam Ali

Your years, your experience, the way you already work: that is the richer material. The whole point is to bring it into the light and give it a shape, grounded throughout in Somatic Thinking: presence, the body, and a way of knowing that lives in practice, not in theory.

What you leave with

You graduate with your method built and ready to lead with.

Not a folder of notes, but a living design that's yours.

A documented, repeatable program you can deliver to groups and license to other facilitators

Across all three: a method you can put your name to, and credibility that travels with it.

Why this has standing

The proof that a method can be built from roots is a school built entirely that way.

Kun isn't a course platform or a reseller of someone else's frameworks. It's a school that builds human methodologies, and Somatic Thinking is the living example of it: a method built from one practitioner's roots that now carries impact across the world.

Published methodology

Somatic Thinking is featured in Dr. Tünde Erdős, Coaching Presence (McGraw-Hill / Open University Press, 2021), an academic study built on 184 recorded coach-client sessions. Rare among coaching approaches, it was studied as its own named practice rather than adapted from an existing school.

The Companionship · صحبة كُن

And you don't build alone. When you finish, you join the Companionship (صحبة كُن): a living, worldwide community of practitioners who've each built a method of their own, and who keep practising, comparing, and growing together. The method you build keeps its company.

FAQ · objections

Questions before you start

Is this a coaching certification, or something else?

It is a journey in which you build your own method, inside our program accredited by ICF at Level 2. At the end Kun issues the Your Method completion certificate (138 hours), your accredited education for applying for the PCC. If you coach or want to, you apply to ICF for the PCC after 500 coaching hours (450 of them paid, with at least 25 clients, and 50 of the hours in the 18 months before you apply) and its exam, and ICF grants the credential. If you come as a leader or founder, your real outcome is your method, documented and yours. Your PCC checklist ↑

How is it different from Impact Engineering?

Impact Engineering is the five-hour opening: the map and the first clarity. Your Method is where the method actually gets built, over 138 hours. Most people begin with Impact Engineering and continue here when it calls them.

Is this more content to study?

No, it's the opposite. It works by drawing out what you already carry (knowledge activation), not depositing more information. You leave with something built, not memorised.

Do I need to be a coach?

No. Choose your door, coaching and training, leadership or entrepreneurship, and the journey builds the method that fits where you are going. No earlier credential, level or experience is needed: you begin Your Method directly.

How long, and how is it run?

138 hours, guided personally by Samer Hassan (ICF MCC), with 10 hours of mentor coaching, 3 of them one to one, and the final evaluation. The cohort meets live twice a week; its cohort page gives the number of meetings, the dates and the language.

How do I join, and how is it priced?

You register for a Your Method cohort from its page, where you find the fees, the payment options and the start date.

Do I need the ACC before the PCC?

No. The ACC is not a prerequisite for the PCC. The two thresholds are 100 documented hours to apply for the ACC (75 of them paid, with at least 8 clients, and 25 of the hours in the 18 months before you apply) and 500 to apply for the PCC (450 paid, at least 25 clients, and 50 of the hours in the 18 months before you apply).

And if I stop before the end?

Every milestone you complete stays yours as a Certificate of Partial Completion, showing its hours: 6 for An Introduction to Somatic Thinking, 92 for the Individual Coaching Foundation, 6 for Your Identity, and its own hours for each branch you finish. A coach who holds an ICF credential may submit it toward the hours of their credential renewal; ICF decides what it accepts. It is a certificate for part of an accredited program, and it carries no ICF mark.

Your hours stack on one certificate: after the three milestones and a passed final evaluation you receive the Level One certificate (104 hours), and when you add a branch you receive the Level Two certificate once, printing your total hours. The Family and Couples branch comes after Group Coaching. Certificates of Partial Completion on their own do not qualify you to apply for the ACC, because ICF asks for the whole program.

Your Method · October 2026 · Arabic

*The tools were never the problem. What's missing is a method no one could mistake for anyone but you.* Your Method is the journey where you build exactly that: not borrowed from a template, but excavated from your own roots, your identity, your values, your lived experience, and given a structure. This is the October 2026 cohort, fully online, open to three doors at once: coaches and trainers who run rooms, leaders who decide under pressure, and founders building a company they want deciding like them long after they have left the room. You walk in through whichever door calls you, and walk out holding a method that is yours. The journey moves through four phases. Foundation builds the human first, then the craft: how to accompany one person deeply, the Somatic Thinking way, and you receive this work yourself before you ever offer it. This phase runs inside the same live cohort as the [Individual Coaching Foundation](/en/programs/stce#stic) intake, so if you are building a method of your own, you sit in the same room as those on the coach-education ladder. Activation puts what you learned into your hands: real clients, sessions recorded and reviewed, and mentors who watch you practise and refine you one conversation at a time. Building is where the forge opens: from your identity you learn to lead group work that keeps its depth, then you forge the method itself, from your roots upward, until every principle holds and takes a structure and a name. Graduation and Practice is the final stretch: your method's structure is completed and documented, with individual and group mentoring walking with you to the door. 138 hours, within a program accredited by ICF at Level 2, with Samer Hassan, ICF MCC, guiding the journey personally. Twenty-five live sessions, every Sunday and Wednesday at 6 PM Cairo time, from 25 October 2026 through mid-January 2027. The cohort holds 15 seats, small enough to be seen by the person leading it. You graduate with your method built and ready to lead with: a documented program carrying your name if you came through Coaching & Training, a decision-logic that holds under pressure if you came through Leadership, or an operating method that turns who you are into how the company decides if you came through Entrepreneurship. And when the journey ends, you join the Companionship, Kun's living worldwide community. Read the full journey on the [Your Method program page](/en/programs/menhajak).
