At ICF, the eight Coaching Supervision Competencies are the bedrock of all of our coaching evaluations. In establishing these competencies, ICF is setting a clear standard that promotes the growth of the profession and the personal development of coaches by enhancing their self-awareness, refining their skills, and deepening their understanding of key professional markers.
The ICF Coaching Supervision Competencies form a foundation built on research, training, and constant revision.
Developed by the ICF team via expert feedback, workshops, and learning sessions, these competencies ensure that coaching supervision remains a dynamic, essential component of your coaching experience. Utilize the Coaching Supervision Competencies to support you as a coaching supervisor.
Because when you take the core competencies to heart, you help grow the entire industry.
