December 2017 Newsletter

A Sneak Peek into 2018

As I reflect on 2017 and look to the possibilities in 2018 it really hits me. There has never been a better time to be a coach. This is a bold statement but one I fully believe – and the data supports.

The coaching industry is exploding (over 50,000 practitioners and $1 billion) as more and more people experience the power of coaching to transform individuals, teams and organizations. This momentum is creating new opportunities at every turn and I am very excited for the possibilities that I see for advancing the field of coaching and furthering our MISSION to see to it that EVERYONE has coaching skills.

To do our part in keeping this momentum going we are working hard to bring you more in the way of education and training and resources to support you. Here’s a sneak peek into what you can expect in 2018.

Education and Training Courses

We’ve expanded the Fast Track to ICF Credential package to make pursuing the ICF ACC credential even more convenient. We have added new class start dates and times as well as the option to build your own package. Here is a summary of the new options:

Pre-Packaged Course Schedules. Classes have been strategically scheduled so that you complete all requirements in 6 months. Choose from either day or evening classes to meet your needs. The first class starts January 25.

Build Your Own Package. Select classes from our schedule to build your own package and have up to 18 months to complete all requirements.

Educational Webinars

In 2017 we learned which topics are most popular and which ones you want to see more of. We heard you and have updated our topics to bring you more live coaching demos, more on building a successful coaching business and more on advanced skills/ tackling coaching challenges.

Coaching Resources

Our coaching guides continue to be very popular and we will be adding to these in 2018. If you haven’t taken advantage of these free resources, you can find them here.
