Course Details

This program will graduate Indigenous coaches who will work with Indigenous clients, communities, organizations, different levels of government and within the private sector. The program adopts the core competencies of the International Coaching Federation into language and approaches which align with Indigenous teachings.

About the Program

This program starts with a two-day in person gathering where we will build a learning community through a jointly created safe space for storytelling, vulnerability, friendship and support.

We will introduce what coaching is in relation to an Indigenous context and how it informs coaching practice.We will then move to 13 virtual sessions of three hours each, where we will learn and practice the coaching skills.The final session will be an in person closing circle.

Participants will have access to Elders and Knowledge Keepers as part of the program.Course content will include required reading and self-reflection time guided by the course content.This program is delivered in English.

Program Content

This program integrates the following into its structure to ensure the highest quality of training that is specific to an Indigenous context:

  • Specific number of hours of in person circle gatherings, webinars, plus specific hours of mentor coaching
  • The historical context of working with Indigenous communities/client-partners
  • The eight (8) core competencies (enhanced to recognize the Indigenous context) of being a professional coach (per the International Coaching Federation)

Some of the skills/knowledge topics covered include:

  • What is coaching and how does it differ from mentoring/counselling
