Interactive Learning: Live Coaching Practice, Support, And Mentorship
This course has two interactive elements: buddy coaching sessions and learning in real time. Both will significantly increase your coaching confidence and client-supporting skills.
Live Instructional Sessions
To successfully complete the course, you must pass at least one of the sessions. The course navigation panel within the course has more information on the prerequisites for the buddy coaching sessions and live learning.
Exclusive Facebook Group
In your welcome email, you’ll get a connection to a private Facebook page for your class that is managed by the members of the Integrative Coaching Academy team and your course instructor. This is the place where you may get support, get connections and reminders that will be useful, and participate in close conversations about what you’re learning outside of your live calls and buddy coaching sessions.
Weekly discussion topics will be posted by your instructor to encourage critical thinking and application of the material you’re learning. We advise you to comment to and participate in the discussion topics for at least 10-15 minutes in order to get the most out of your learning and application.
Each module requires two live learning sessions, which are attended by all students. When you enroll, you can pick the days and times of these sessions. You will have the chance to ask questions, take part in group discussions, practice your coaching techniques, and apply topics from that week’s module content during these sessions, which will be conducted by an experienced NBC-HRC end educator. All live learning sessions must be attended as a graduation requirement, but you are allowed a maximum of three absences.
You must register for and attend three buddy coaching sessions with another student and a faculty coach who has received board certification in addition to the live learning sessions. By rehearsing the roles of both the coach and the client in a private, virtual setting, these sessions will provide you the practical experience to coach confidently.
Your instructor will assess your coaching at each session and offer insightful criticism. Your grade will either be passing or failing.
