International Coaching Week (ICW) is a worldwide 7-day celebration of the power and profound impact of professional coaching, where a conversation can change everything.
For more than 25 years, ICW has educated the public about the value of professional coaching and the results it helps individuals and organizations achieve.
The week is a powerful catalyst for personal and professional transformation across cultures, industries, and communities. During ICW, coaches, leaders, and individuals from diverse backgrounds around the world come together to spark growth, promote resilience, and inspire positive change.
For coaches, ICW serves as a platform not only to raise public awareness about the impact of professional coaching, but to foster connections with peers worldwide while promoting both collaboration and learning in the coaching community.
But ICW is not just for professional coaches. It’s also for those interested in experiencing professional coaching for the first time and seeing for themselves how it can be a powerful catalyst for growth, helping them define and manifest personal and professional goals, work through challenges, and create lasting change.
