About the group
We are a UK Chapter of ICF Local Coaching Group based in and around Southampton, although our sessions run on Zoom so we can welcome anyone who wants to join us!
Members come from a wide range of backgrounds, including healthcare, corporate and independent practice, and we are equally glad to see coaches who are members of other professional bodies alongside ICF members.
Our sessions follow a four month rolling cycle:
- Month one is coaching triads, where everyone has the chance to coach, be coached and observe.
- Month two is action learning, many to one coaching.
- Month three is reflective practice.
- Month four is an MCC demonstration, offering the chance to watch masterful coaching and unpick what is happening in it.
We generally meet on the last Monday of the month, from 5pm to 6.45pm, and we try to meet face to face once a year.
What you can expect
- Practical sessions where you coach, are coached and receive feedback against the ICF competencies
- Action learning and reflective practice with peers who understand your work
- MCC coaching demonstrations, with time to explore what makes them work
- Continuing Coach Education Units for attending, varying by session
- A confidential, non-competitive space where members support each others learning
