INTERNATIONAL COACHING WEEK (ICW)

International Coaching Week (ICW) is an annual weeklong global celebration of the coaching profession. ICW 2022 is scheduled for May 16-20, 2022.

 

ICW is intended to educate the public about the value of working with a professional coach and to acknowledge the results and progress made through the coaching process. During ICW 2022, the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and our Metro DC Chapter will invite individuals and organizations from around the world to “Reimagine the Future.”

 

For a week, coaches around the world offer a variety of activities and pro bono services in their local communities to enable others to experience coaching and its benefits firsthand. 

The ICF Metro DC Chapter will offer a full slate of events, open to the public at no charge. Everything is happening virtually, so individuals in our community and beyond who are interested in learning about coaching are welcome to attend! 

Check out our line-up of events for ICW 2022, and head to our Events Calendar to register!
