| International Coaching Week (ICW) is a weeklong global celebration of the coaching profession held annually, during the first 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 general 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. "This week is the perfect time for coaches to get out in their communities and show people what coaching is and how it can benefit their lives. Coaching is proven to help people attain their personal and professional goals and those who use it can expect to see a solid return on their investment." - Giovanna D'Alessio, MCC, 2010 ICF President | |
The International Coach Federation is a proud sponsor of ICW and encourages coaches all over the globe to participate by holding special events during the designated International Coaching Week.
All coaches, both ICF members and non-members, are invited to share in this celebration. ICW is a special time each year for all professional coaches to join together and celebrate the profession as one.
