Curriculum overview

The UWCPC Program is designed to ground learners in the ICF Core Competencies. The holistic, interconnected curriculum and variety of learning methods allows learners to experience a comprehensive and integrated coach training program. Below are the five overarching themes that guide our curriculum.

Foundations of Coaching

Prepare the groundwork for understanding the substantive aspects of the program, including learning about basic concepts and practical tools to begin coaching conversations.

Co-Creating the Coaching Relationship

Learn how to establish equitable, safe, and courageous coaching relationships and conversations. Orient yourself to the concept of coaching presence and how to cultivate it for maximum impact.

Communicating Effectively

Explore how to communicate for understanding, clarify, and meaning, as well as how to provoke new insight and awareness in others via your conversations.

Cultivating Learning & Growth

Understand how to take clients from insight to action and co-create tools and learning for long-term client growth.

Integration

Integrate learning from the entire program. Show your skills by conducting successful, full-length coaching conversations with colleagues. Complete the year with a final reflection on the coaching journey and a celebration of next steps.
