You may choose to use the FlipIt Framework, or you might choose to integrate your area of interest or expertise. The main consideration is that you plan something that will be of use to you with your market and your niche.
Featuring FlipIt
Learn how to shift a perspective using the ICA Coaching Power Tools and the FlipIt 4 step process. A coaching tool created by ICA for our student and graduate coaches. It is based on the premise that the way we see our world is a choice. The same event can happen to two different people and they will respond in completely different ways.

Individual Coaching vs Group Coaching?
With one on one coaching you have a single client. With Group coaching, you are working with 2 or more people who might have a commonality (eg. attending a workshop) but they each have their own motivations, expectations and goals.
-
Group vs Team Coaching?
Like group coaching, team coaching involves more than one person. But, the group will share a direct commonality (eg. all work together) and are focused on achieving the same shared goal or outcome.
