Practical Lab

The practical Lab provides you with an opportunity to preview sample of recorded coaching conversations. Through the interactive discussion and debriefing under the supervision of an experienced ICF Credential Coach, you will gain practical experiences on how the theories are being applied and most important, the know “how to” tactical knowledge in creating a coaching conversation.

We know that developing mastery in coaching and acquiring the set of skills, attitudes and competencies necessary in order to become truly professional in coaching requires a demanding curriculum that moves a student beyond classroom concepts into participative coach-learning contexts. In the Supervised Practical Coaching, you will demonstrate your coaching skill and an ICF Credential Coach will observe the conversation and provide constructive and objective feedback to hone your coaching skills.

The study, utilizing data from 18,750 individuals in 25 countries, offers new insights about consumer awareness of the coaching profession, clients’ reasons for engaging in a coaching partnership, the importance of credentialing and certification, and other information to help you understand the minds and motivations of consumers. A few key findings:

• Global awareness of coaching is now at 57 percent!
• Of respondents who have been in a coaching relationship, 85 percent reported being “somewhat satisfied” or “very satisfied” with their experience.
• Among those who have participated in a coaching relationship, 84 percent said it was “important” or “very important” for a coach to hold a credential or certification.
