Learn and Grow with ICF Metro DC 

Continuous learning is essential for coaches. We offer it in abundance at ICF Metro DC! 

Peruse the learning and professional development opportunities offered by our chapter below, and sign up to participate! With your annual ICF Metro DC membership dues, nearly all offerings are available to you free of charge, and most provide at least 1 Continuing Coaching Education Unit. Guests are nearly always welcome for a modest fee, so spread the word and invite others who may benefit as well. 

• Learning & Development Sessions: At least twice a month, except in August when we take a recess, ICF Metro DC presents virtual sessions intended to support your learning and development as a coach. These sessions typically last 1.5 hours and offer 1.5 CCEUs to use toward the renewal of your credential. Topics vary widely, with at least two offerings in each of the following learning strands each year: AI and Coaching; Business Development; Coaching Ethics; Personal/Professional Development; Supervision/Mentor Coaching; Team Coaching; and Wellness: Trauma-Informed, Somatic, Emotional Intelligence, etc. Find and register for these sessions at our Events Calendar. (Be sure you're logged into the website before registering to access your free member registration!)

• Coaches Coffee Groups: Gain both formal and informal learning in our myriad Coaches Coffee groups. Some groups facilitate organic conversation, while others offer structured presentations.

• Nature & Outdoor Coaching Community of Practice: ICF Metro DC is home to several members who intentionally incorporate nature into their coaching practices, and share their learnings with others.

• New Member Meeting: Learn about all ICF Metro DC offers its members at our monthly New Member Meeting! New chapter members are invited to orientation meetings on the second Friday of each month at 2 p.m.  These gatherings serve as a wonderful opportunity for you to gain valuable information about our chapter's activities and to meet other new members. Participants have a chance to get to know other new members, ask questions, share your ideas, and set oneself up to have a relationship with the chapter that is both fulfilling and enriching. You can attend as many times as you'd like! Register on our Events Calendar.
  

• Capital Coaches Conference: Every two years (typically), our chapter hosts a signature, high-quality, and in-demand conference. The Capital Coaches Conference enables attendees to earn ten or more CCEUs over two days!
