Our Point Of Difference...
We'll help you identify your ideal client, and then create a coaching model that represents your passion, beliefs, values and purpose.
One of the elements of our training that we are most proud of is that we teach our students to create their own coaching model. Often a coaching school will teach or promote a coaching model that is based on the personal philosophy, passion or coaching model of the founder. So if the founder was a NLP coach then it's most likely the coaching model they teach has a heavy NLP foundation. But, at ICA we stay away from cookie cutter coaching models. Instead, as educators with expertise in adult learning principles, we teach the frameworks and theories that have influenced coaching such as cognitive behavioral therapy, appreciative inquiry, NLP, emotional intelligence and mindfulness. We look the background, how it intersects with coaching and how it can be blended with coaching
OUR E-LEARNING IS MORE THAN JUST ZOOM CLASSES
ICA's training has been online, and accredited by the ICF, since 2001. Our Learnsite has over 20 years of modules, curated resources and coaching conversations. Before attending classes you will read a module or watch an instructional video. Following classes you will reflect on your learning through coaching practicum, course outcomes, forum reflections and portfolio development.
