LEVERAGING THE POWER OF COACHING & CHANGE MANAGEMENT TO NAVIGATE DISRUPTION

Change. With the challenges we have faced in 2020 and those that lie ahead in 2021 and beyond, change has become a constant. Collectively, we’re learning to “expect the unexpected.”

But as organizations and individual professionals, how do we grow stronger from changes that have shifted our world forever? How do we become resilient and navigate the disruptions that are the new norm?

The Association of Change Management Professionals (ACMP) and the International Coaching Federation (ICF) have partnered to bring you a series of free panel discussions that will explore the power of coaching in organizational change initiatives.

Leveraging the Power of Coaching & Change Management to Navigate Disruption is an open and FREE four-part series that will bring you together with change management and coaching professionals to discuss how to leverage both disciplines with regards to four unique topics. The sessions will be recorded and made available for free for two weeks after the live air date.

These sessions can count toward your self-study resource development credits for the ICF Credential renewal. If you intend to use any of these sessions for this purpose, please track the hours spent in each session and fill in the total hours under “Self-Study” when prompted in your renewal application. If you have any questions about your ICF Credential renewal, please contact support@coachingfederation.org.

About ACMP & ICF’s Partnership

The Association of Change Management Professionals (ACMP) and the International Coaching Federation (ICF) have been proactively exploring the numerous synergies between change management and coaching, particularly the power of coaching in organizational change initiatives. For this exploration, the ACMP and ICF formed a task force – the result of which is this panel series, Leveraging Coaching & Change Management to Navigate Disruption. 

The goals of this task force are to:

  • Explore how these two professions complement each other
  • Support the continued development of shared competencies

  • Increase value to members of each organization

This task force is especially exciting as ICF launches a new brand that reflects the forward motion of the industry. Part of this new brand calls attention to ICF Coaching in Organizations – one of six family organizations that make up the whole, or “One” ICF.
