ICF Communities of Practice (CPs) are a great way to build your global network while advancing your coaching knowledge. CPs provide a platform for sharing best practices, emerging trends, tools and tips among coaches to advance their professional development and deepen their subject matter expertise. Plus, CPs are a free ICF Member benefit and offer Continuing Coaching Education (CCE) units needed for ICF Credential renewal.
These virtual groups offer professional development and network-building opportunities through a variety of outputs, including:
Each CP is steered by volunteer co-leaders who help facilitate the learning and organize the conversations, ideas and trends that emerge from the group. Active participation in the live sessions and online discussion threads is encouraged!
Each CP offers a live session once a quarter. All sessions are recorded and available on demand in the ICF Learning Portal, so you can rewatch or view on your own time if you missed the live session.
CPs are intended for ICF Members and other coaches who are interested in one or more of the following topic areas:
ICF Member Pricing: Free. CPs are an ICF Member benefit, and ICF Members can participate in as many CPs as they’d like — completely free of charge.
