-
1
Agility
Coaches need to be highly flexible and be open to change and possibility.
-
2
Innate Curiosity
As a coach you will focus on the client and be curious. This often means 'unlearning' the approach of consulting, teaching or telling.
-
3
Intuitive Change Maker
Coaches are creative, in the moment and focused on the future rather than the past.
-
4
The Courage to Look Within
We teach all our coaches to first try their new skills on themselves. Self coach, then coach others.

A Growth Mindset
Walking in the door as a 'perfect' coach on day one doesn't help your development as a coach, You need to try, learn and practice.

We help you find the program that best matches your Coaching goals, timeframe for completion, and budget.
Becoming a Life Coach is not just a new revenue stream or change of career, it's a new way of being. Coaching will give you the freedom and flexibility to decide when and where you work, how often you work, and who you work with.
As part of ICA's Coach Training you will have 24/7 access to the Learnsite including learning materials, module downloads, curated resources, class schedules, peer coaching networks, and a private coaches forum with global networks and friendships. And with our programs you can either fast track or take your time. There's morning, afternoon, evening, weekday and weekend classes, meaning you choose what days and times you study. Perfect for people with a busy work or family life.
Career Pathways
Life coaches work with clients in a range of settings, some in face to face meetings but the majority via phone coaching. This means you are unlimited in your client possibilities - you can coach clients from all over the world. You can also be located anywhere in the world and take your business with you as you travel. Life coaching is an incredibly flexible, rewarding career.
The career paths for life coaches are increasing in all industries as more and more people become aware of the benefits of a wholistic approach to work and life. Organisations and institutions are investing in building better workplace cultures and creating better work/life balance. Government initiatives are emerging that are built around workplace wellness, helping staff do what they do better and with more motivation. In addition to the opportunities being created inside workplaces there is a strong and growing field of independent Life Coaches working wth individuals, groups and teams.
Learn Coach Skills
Many of the skills you will learn as a coach are actually life skills and can be used to add value to everyday life. You will learn the difference between coaching and other forms of “helping” such as consulting, mentoring, training, therapy etc. We also teach you the various influences that have created and impacted the development of coaching, and we cover the main skills and attributes required to be a coach. You will learn the power of releasing judgement, identifying your underlying beliefs and the importance of self confidence.

FlipIt Coaching Framework.
Created by, and exclusive to, International Coach Academy
FlipIt is a coaching tool created by ICA for our student and graduate coaches. It is based on the idea that the way we see our world is a choice. The same event can happen to two different people and they will respond in completely different ways. The FlipIt framework is incorporated into all ICA programs.
We are constantly grappling with change – changes we want to make happen, changes we have to make, and changes that are happening to us.
