2023 Learning Groups
Learning Groups offer great opportunities to receive support for your development as a professional coach, deepen your mastery of coaching, connect with your colleagues, and explore new territory. ) ...And many of them offer CCEs! (Note that you must be registered for the learning group in order to participate AND you need to be present at the group sessions [in-person or virtual] to be eligible for receiving your CCEs.) For 2023, there are eight Learning Groups to choose from (and a few more starting later in the year). All of the groups are included with your ICF-CO membership fee - no matter how many you join!
As you prepare to register for 2023 Learning Groups, please keep in mind that unlike one-off ala carte events (such as our webinars and monthly chapter meetings), these groups are designed to be ongoing. Given that participants build on their development and their connection to the group over the course of the year, attendance at all sessions is essential in order to get the most out of the experience. Your ongoing presence in the learning groups to which you commit truly matters, so if you sign up, we ask that you plan to show up on a regular basis. Most of the groups meet virtually (on Zoom), some groups may do a hybrid combo of virtual and in-person (depending on current health precautions and other factors).
*Group Size is limited and most groups are designed as a continuing cohort for the year, so we suggest that you grab your spot quickly and plan to attend on a regular basis! Once you have registered, you will receive confirmation of group details and logistics.
All Learning Groups are included with your ICF-CO membership fee.
ITEM TO NOTE: MEMBERS - YOU MUST BE LOGGED IN TO ACCESS THE REGISTER NOW OPTION FOR THE LEARNING GROUPS

Our dialogue on your coaching work will focus on moving beyond the technical skills of coaching into bringing your whole self into each coaching session.
