Coaching Firms and Training Schools...
We are your point of contact for experienced and specialized executive and corporate coaching resources. Learn with colleagues, co-create standards and get your needs known and satisfied.
Coach Training firms are doing a remarkable job of providing basic
and advanced education for coaches world-wide. To the extent that these
programs are relevant to executive development and organizational
coaching, ICCO welcomes the diversity of philosophies and methodologies
taught across the world.
However, ICCO is also committed to building a more complete base of
knowledge for the profession, a goal that can only be achieved through
thorough and repeated research, especially into the adequacy between
certain coaching approaches and certain organizational challenges,
situations or individual profiles.
ICCO connects educators not only with coaches but with the organizations
who ultimately see the fruit of the educators’ endeavors.
A most critical feedback loop can close when educators interact, in
ICCO, with organizational representatives and individual coaches, to
hear about case histories, concerns, objectives and shifting
expectations.
ICCO is the context and the community that training graduates need as
well, if they aspire to work in companies or not-for-profit firms. Here
is a central resource for up-to-date information on how organizations
select and then monitor and measure the success of coaches in their
talent development initiatives.
ICCO fosters a climate of collaboration, intellectual curiosity and
openness, and a spirit of abundance in pooling and sharing knowledge so
that coaching can continue to evolve and succeed as a human service in
organizations.
