ICF Coach Training: Your Questions Answered
If you've ever thought about working towards a coaching accreditation with the ICF (International Coaching Federation), this is an opportunity to meet with Marian Way and to ask her questions you may have about using a clean-based approach to coaching. Marian will talk about how our ICF accredited Level 1 Clean Coach Certification Programme came into being, and how you can deliver ICF-standard coaching using Clean Language and Symbolic Modelling. Marian will also share a short excerpt from a coaching session and will then answer your questions. We are also encouraging previous students to join us so they can share their experiences of the programme with you and you can ask them questions too. If there's time. the session will finish with a short 'taster' of a clean coaching activity.
Frequently asked questions
What is Clean Language?
Clean Language is a simple set of questions developed by counselling psychologist David Grove. These questions are used with a person’s own words to direct their attention to some aspect of their own experience. Asking these questions in the right context often results in an interesting new insight or the recognition of some new possibility. And if that new possibility is then questioned using Clean Language, the result can be quite profound. Clean questions invite people to consider their experience from different perspectives and they are often surprised by their own capacity to generate new, powerful and useful ideas about their own experience.
What is Symbolic Modelling?
Symbolic Modelling was created by Penny Tompkins and James Lawley when they worked with and observed David Grove over several years, to discover what he was doing to achieve his phenomenal results. They combined David’s ideas with ideas from the fields of cognitive linguistics, systems thinking and NLP to produce a model which could be taught to others to enable them to achieve the same kinds of results as David.
What is the ICF and how does it relate to clean coaching?
ICF stands for International Coaching Federation, a leading global organisation for coaches
and coaching. The ICF is dedicated to advancing the coaching profession by setting high
standards, providing independent certification, and building a worldwide network of trained
coaching professionals.
The ICF defines coaching as: “Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative
process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. The
process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity
and leadership.”
