Community
You will not be coaching alone
Coaching can be quietly isolating. You hold other people's struggles all day, then close the call and sit with them by yourself. The ICI community exists so that you do not have to.
What the community offers
Peer supervision and reflective practice groups
A referral network among practising coaches
Continued learning through masterclasses and events
Honest support for the parts of coaching no one warns you about
Connection across many countries and one shared standard
Alumni network
Qualifying is a beginning. ICI coaches stay connected for supervision, collaboration and friendship, and have access to ongoing learning. The longer you are in the field, the more this network is worth.
Membership and continuing development
Coaching is a practice, which means it is never finished.
