Empower Your Professional Growth
ICF Communities of Practice (CPs) keep you relevant, connected, and continuously evolving as a professional coach. These online groups foster discussions on best practices, emerging trends, and tools that enhance professional development.
Specialized Learning and Skill Development: Align your CP participation with your expertise to sharpen your skills and focus on specific areas of coaching.
Continuing Coach Education (CCE) Credits: CPs are a win-win: Learn from top experts in the field while earning CCE credits towards the renewal of your ICF credential.
Global Networking Opportunities: By engaging with a diverse global network of like-minded coaches, you can build valuable professional relationships and expand your influence — not to mention find a supportive community where you belong.
Best Practices and Innovative Ideas: CPs encourage knowledge sharing! Discover innovative coaching tools and strategies used by peers, share your own, and contribute to the profession’s growth.
Ways to Engage With CPs
CPs allow you to pursue your passions in ways that suit you best. Each CP focuses on a specific area or specialization within the coaching profession so you can dive deeper into the types of coaching that interest you most.

Featured CP Opportunities
Executive and Leadership Coaching in 2026
Join us for a new webinar where we’ll explore together key trends and topics in Executive and Leadership Coaching in 2026, deepening our awareness about the current global scenario and how it’s impacting our clients. During this webinar, PCC Credential holders Diana Tedoldi, Ellen Zimmermann, and Lina El-Assaad will share insights and perspectives from their coaching practice with clients in organizations across three different regions.
We’ll reflect together on key topics that are emerging as trends across coaching conversations, as well as the most recurrent needs we observe in our clients and how they’re responding to the global scenario, marked by impactful events, crises, and opportunities.
During this interactive webinar, the three presenters will share their experience, provide space for self-reflection and sharing, harnessing the power of our community of practice to give us tools to develop our impact as coaches working with executives and leaders.
Holistic Coaching for Healthcare Providers
Join Kenzie Wilcox-Ingebrand, PCC, certified holistic life coach and presenter with ICF, for a powerful exploration into the world of holistic coaching for the healthcare community. In this session, Kenzie shares her integrative coaching method designed to support those who witness trauma routinely, often without emotional release or processing. You’ll learn how to help clients identify emotional states using tools like the Feelings Wheel, reframe limiting patterns, create self-awareness through prompted journaling, and implement restorative grounding exercises.
Kenzie will also demonstrate how to support clients in developing healthy boundaries rooted in their core values, while distinguishing them from reactive or self-protective barriers that can hinder wellbeing. Attendees will walk away with practical tools, coaching prompts, and body-based awareness practices that they can immediately use with clients.
Kenzie’s work reflects her unwavering belief that when healers receive healing, the ripple extends to the entire system — colleagues, partners, children, and communities.
Supervision for Wellbeing
Participants will observe a live supervision process with an experienced coach (with a particular focus on the realities of team coaching – complexity, multiple stakeholders, systemic pressure). A well‑held supervisory space enables coaches to slow down, name what they are carrying, and reconnect with their own judgement, boundaries and inner resources.
We’ll explore what actually shifted for the supervisee, what enabled that shift, and how this differs from mentoring, peer support or simple venting. We will explicitly link what happens in the room to core dimensions of practitioner wellbeing: emotional containment, reduced isolation, ethical robustness and sustainable engagement with clients and teams.
The session is designed for coaches and team coaches who are curious about supervision but may not yet have experienced it and want to explore its deeper, restorative function. Participants will leave with a clearer felt sense of what supervision can offer them personally and professionally.
Facilitators of Insight: The Role of Our CP Co-Leaders
Each CP is guided by dedicated volunteer co-leaders who inspire and empower the group to learn and grow together. These passionate individuals facilitate enriching discussions and curate the insights, ideas, and emerging trends that shape our coaching landscape. Their leadership not only enhances our collective knowledge but also fosters a vibrant environment for us all.
