Our community comes from diverse backgrounds ranging from human resources, professional development and training through to not for profits, small business and social work yet they all share a strong desire to help people and felt like they had actually been coaching all their lives.
Many of our students have lived in multiple countries and have completed extensive studies. They work in multinational organisations and have an open global mindset. After graduating some coaches use their skills in their current role, others blend coaching with other skills and many become professional coaches. It’s always exciting for us to read through graduates memorable moments and find out how they are going to use coaching going forward. We invite you to read and share in last year’s graduate stories.
In 2019 we had 110 graduates from the English language programs 10 from the Italian programs and 15 from the Chinese Bilingual programs from 44 different countries and over 43 different niches. View Graduates from both our English, Italian and Chinese Language Coach Training Programs.
Graduates reflect on their coaching journey and what they will do with their coaching skills.
Maaike Christie-Beekm, Performance Coach, NEW ZEALAND
"The observed coaching sessions!!! I have learnt so much in that time and it really brought everything together. I love the community of ICA, wow, what special people I have met over my time at ICA from all over the world and how we have been able to inspire, motivate and support one another along the way. And then obviously the trainers at ICA... Wow! What role models. It has given me a very clear goal of where I want to be in my personal and professional life. Also the fact that we have to create a coaching model, a power tool and write a research paper made me really reflect on who I am, what kind of coach I want to be and what niche I choose. I will miss the classes, the trainers and students. Thank you ICA!!"
Paul Chang, Coach for Millennials in Business, CANADA
"The learning was a gradual process. I remember when I was able to make the comparison between my first coaching session (in which I had to stop because I was so stuck) to my sessions now, when I can be in a state of flow and the questions come effortlessly. I am immensely proud of how far I have come. One of the best things that ICA offers (among its excellent content and well-structured classes) is its student community. I have developed some of the deepest friendships with people all over the world, and we have not even met in person. While this is not exactly a memorable moment, it is the most significant components of my ICA experience."
Frosina Mitrovska, Personal Development Coach, NETHERLANDS
"Each and every class was a memorable moment during my training with ICA. What I loved and appreciated the most was the feeling of excitement before each class and most of all, having a sense of belonging to a community that is incredibly supportive, understanding and encouraging. Thank you, ICA, thank you to all the mentors and all wonderful people that are/were part of this invaluable learning life experience."
Elisabeth Tuleja, Global Leadership & Cross-Cultural Coach, CHINA
"Observed coaching was the most memorable and useful part of the ICA training for me. Thank you so much for that experience! I will use my coaching skill in private practice to support clients facing a range of difficult life challenges."
Well done to all our 2019 graduates
