[Ailist] Coaching training

[Rob Voyle]

Hi Esther

As far as I know the International Coach Federation approves/certifies training 
programs but does not provide training.  coach U is an approved ICF accredited 
program.  

Ben Dean has a program.  He works with Seligman in the positive psychology 
and authentic happiness field.

There are several other ICF approved programs as well.  Do a google on coach 
training.

Your young colleague also needs to consider what type of coaching they want to 
do.  Life coaching, executive coaching and find a training program that would 
meets their needs.

I have an appreciative coach training program that is not ICF approved (It is part 
of the APA and NBCC continuing education program.) It is oriented to working 
with clergy or folk who want to integrate their spirituality into their coaching.
