This course area covers the difference between coaching and other forms of “helping” such as consulting, mentoring, training, therapy etc. We also teach you the various influences that have created and impacted the development of coaching, and we cover the main skills and attributes required to be a coach.
A coaching process (sometimes called a session structure) describes the flow of a professional coaching conversation – how it begins, unfolds, and concludes. It provides a “coat hanger” for your coaching work. It is sturdy enough to hold the session together, but flexible enough to fit every client differently.
Blended coaching is an approach that integrates coaching skills or a coaching mindset with another discipline, service, or area of expertise. While pure, non-directive coaching is powerful, there are contexts where combining coaching with other modalities creates even greater value for clients.
The ICF Core Competencies are a set of statements that describe the knowledge, skills, and behaviors required to demonstrate professional coaching competence.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the coaching landscape. Not all coaches will use AI in the same way, and many may choose not to use it at all. What matters is developing the capacity to understand what AI can and cannot do, so you can make choices that work for you and your clients.
