Coaching Training Philosophy
Developing coaching practice
Our learning philosophy
At i-coach academy, we believe that coaching is entirely unique to the individual. So rather than encouraging you to memorise rigid models and behaviours, we support you to construct your own views.
Course facilitators create a safe, non-judgemental space, allowing you to direct your own learning and work collaboratively with others. And because we take an interdisciplinary approach, you’ll be able to explore a huge variety of models, tools and techniques.
Central to our programmes’ design is David Kolb’s learning cycle. Our own experience has taught us that you can’t become an effective coach through theoretical study alone – you must experiment, apply and reflect. You’ll gain essential hands-on experience by taking part in skill practice exercises with a learning trio.
We’ll encourage you to apply your new skills to your work environment, and to critically reflect on your progress at each stage.
Not only does this approach help you define your own contribution to the field of coaching – it gives you a strong foundation on which to build a professional coaching practice and career.
