The term ‘Learning Leader’ applies to anyone who runs, or intends to run, group learning.  It is a deliberate choice of name, because we believe that is essentially what you are doing - you are leading people in their own learning.

This course is particularly relevant for students and graduates with an interest in group facilitation, including:

• group coaching
• leading workshops
• running teleseminars
• chairing meetings
• mentoring colleagues

Recently, we have received questions from some of our students, regarding ICF credentialing and the changes that are planned. 

Below is two excerpts from the ICF March Newsletter that may be of interest to our community, and may help to clarify the situation as it currently stands.  We have also included a link that you can click on to read more about credentialing.

Excerpts:

Life of the Existing Credentialing System
The decision of the Board is to keep the existing 3-tier credentialing system in place until January 2012. This does not mean that the 3-tier system will disappear in January 2012. It only means that anyone planning to apply for one of the existing credentials can rely on the stability of the existing 3-tier system through that time.

Charging the Credentialing and Program Accreditation Committee with the Task of Developing a Proposal
The decision of the Board is to keep the existing 3-tier credentialing system in place until January 2012 and to charge the Credentialing and Program Accreditation Committee to develop standards that will enhance our credentialing program to best protect and serve consumers of coaching services, measure and certify competence of individuals and inspire pursuit of continuous development.

The editorial team will be involoved in:

• setting up the system and process of bringing out the publication

Now that all of our new modules are complete, we are busy translating them into several languages.  Our next aim is to translate all modules into Spanish, and we are seeking volunteers from within our amazing community to assist Ana Noriega, who is heading up this project. 

We need volunteers from Latin America and Spain who are fluent in both English and Spanish.  Volunteers would be required to translate our new modules into Spanish under the guidance of Ana.  If you are interested, please contact Ana directly at: all_all@hotmail.com

Student buddies are highly valued members of the ICA student community, who generously donate their time in assisting newbies with finding their way within and around the ICA community. As students that have already been with ICA for some time would know, this can sometimes be a little daunting to begin with. Being a buddy could involve sharing first hand experiences, or assisting new students to connect with their online community.

Whilst being a buddy does involve a time commitment, it is very flexible and should only involve a few hours a month. Students wishing to become a part of our wonderful buddy team, should be familiar with the ICA environment, and be willing to support our new students.

If you would like to find out more about becoming a buddy, or if you would like to become a valued member of our ‘Buddy Team’, please contact Jamee Tenzer at jamee.tenzer@icoachacademy.com

Over this holiday season we have been celebrating the “12 Days of Christmas”. Each day for the past 12 days, we have distributed coaching concepts to our students and subscribers as a gift. They consist of  audios taken from our guest speakers during the year, like Joe Nunziato, author of “Spiritual Selling”, award-winning author Suzanne Eder speaking on ” Redefining Wealth”, and many more.

We would love you to also share these concepts with your friends, family, colleagues or anyone you know who may be interested in the coaching process. And for anyone you know who is looking to really jump into the coaching game and get qualified we are offering a 10% discount on the price of our CPCP, through the end of January 2010.
