International Coaching Week
International Coaching Week (ICW) is a weeklong global celebration of the coaching profession held annually, during the first full week in February.
Originally founded in 1999 by ICF member Jerri N. Udelson, MCC, ICW is a designated time each year for coaches and clients 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 this extended commemoration, coaches around the world offer a variety of activities and pro bono services in their local communities to share what coaching has the ability to do.
The International Coach Federation is a proud sponsor of ICW. Coaches around the world are encouraged to participate by holding special events during International Coaching Week.
How will you celebrate ICW? Planning a workshop, coaching demo, or other event? We want to hear about it! All coaches and chapters are invited to send a short summary and photos of their ICW event to icfpr@coachfederation.org. Event summaries and photos will be shared on the ICW website, as well as across other ICF communication and social media channels.
Due to various circumstances, some areas hold a local coaching week celebration at a different time of the year. For more information, please contact your local ICF Chapter.
