Online Coach Development
Online Immunity to ChangeTM Coach Development
This ITC coach development program provides a compressed, online learning approach and is based on two key premises:
- You will be best equipped to support others to overturn Immunity to Change when you have already been supported by an accomplished coach (and others) to overturn your own personal immunities. The basic rhythm of the program, therefore, moves back and forth between focusing on you and overturning your own ITC, and focusing on you helping your client overturn his or her ITC.
- Learning to help others overturn their ITC (and overturning your own) takes time and attention. You will be expected to do coursework between all pod meetings, including working on your personal immunity, practicing with your clients, and/or reading or viewing instructional material.
