Developing a Coaching Practice

Students will evaluate various life coaching niches and construct personalized life coaching tools. A significant portion of the course is devoted to planning, cultivating, managing, and sustaining a successful coaching practice. Through study and investigation, students demonstrate the ability to make a great first impression on potential clients, and learn how to avoid common mistakes in building a coaching practice. Students will use the revised ICF Core Competencies and Code of Ethics to evaluate student-coaching skills. This 5000-level course is cross-listed with a 4000-level course and includes specific graduate course requirements which reflect appropriate deeper learning experiences and rigor in the higher-level course.
