Michael Sgro Leadership Coaching Launches Certified Empathy & People Advocate (CEPA) Program

"Empowering leaders to build stronger, more human-centered workplaces." - Coach Sgro

Michael Sgro Leadership Coaching today announced the launch of its new Certified Empathy & People Advocate (CEPA) program, a transformative certification designed to help leaders, managers, and professionals cultivate deeper empathy, strengthen workplace relationships, and lead with a people-first mindset.

The CEPA program equips participants with practical tools and proven strategies to foster trust, improve communication, and create inclusive, high-performing environments. Through a combination of coaching, interactive learning, and real-world application, the program aims to redefine what effective leadership looks like in today’s evolving workplace.

“Empathy is no longer a ‘soft skill’—it’s a leadership necessity,” said Coach Michael Sgro, founder of Michael Sgro Leadership Coaching. “The CEPA program is about helping people show up differently—more aware, more connected, and more impactful—so they can truly advocate for the people they lead and serve.”

To celebrate the launch, Coach Michael Sgro will host a Facebook Live Launch Party on June 1, where attendees can learn more about the CEPA program, ask questions, and get an inside look at how this certification can elevate their leadership journey.

Registration details and additional information about the CEPA program will be shared during the live event.
