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.
