The Updated ICF Core Competencies

1.5 CCEs: 1 Core Competencies | .5 Resource Development
In November 2019, the International Coaching Federation announced updates to the ICF Core Competencies. These updated Core Competencies resulted from nearly two years of rigorous research and are based on evidence collected from more than 1,300 coaches across the world representing a diverse range of coaching disciplines, training backgrounds, coaching styles, and experience and credentialing levels, including both ICF members and non-members.
While this research validated that much of the current Core Competency model remains critically important to coaching practice today, new elements also emerged that have been integrated into the model, including
• the importance of a coaching mindset and ongoing reflective practice
• the critical distinctions between various levels of coaching agreements
• the importance of cultural, systemic and contextual awareness within coaching relationships.
These foundational components, combined with emerging themes, reflect the key elements of coaching practice today and will serve as stronger, more comprehensive coaching standards for the future.
This session will offer an overview of the updated Core Competencies and what they mean for coach practitioners and the coaching profession.
