Re Think the Way You Think...

The FlipIt Framework was 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. Using the ICA Coaching Power Tools this guided 4 step process helps to move someone from where they are now, to where they want to be. FlipIt is a simple tool that anyone can use.

At ICA the term all inclusive means - no hidden costs, no unexpected certification hurdles,  and full access to our coaching community. A diverse and connected community of coaches who will warmly welcome you to our community.

Module downloads, portfolio work and forum postings can all be completed at times that work best for you (on the couch with a coffee, on the train, in your lunchbreak at work etc).  Then, there's classes running around the clock, every week.  So, no matter what time zone you are in, there is generally a class you can join.
