Youth & Parent Coach Training Program

In our experience all coaching is coaching. Essentially coaching is a methodology designed to bring about change and to move someone from where they are now to where they want to be (in some instances coaches even help identify where their clients want to be).  Core skills such as Reframing Perspectives  or Asking Powerful Questions are the same skills no matter what niche you are in. What differs from niche to niche is your CLIENT and the MARKET they are in. For example parents have common issues with their children and can be found hanging out at schools, executives have common around staffing and work life balance or how to grow a business and can be found hanging out in companies.  The difference is in your market, but your coaching model and your business model change but NOT in how you coach.

So we have put together what we know from experience is the best structure to “learn” your  niche.


Core coaching skills in a cross-disciplinary or cross-niche environment

What do our Graduates Say?

Sandra Clifton, Tutoring Coach, United States
One of the biggest reasons that I chose ICA is that the required coaching was included in the tuition fee, as I couldn’t afford the additional cost of individual sessions. I am SO glad that I chose ICA because I met people like Sheri Boone, who I hired as my personal coach after I graduated. ICA classes afforded me the opportunity to explore my ideas online in homework assignments and then develop my own unique voice and individual style of coaching. Sandra Clifton, Tutoring Coach, United States

Raji Menon, Youth Coach, Canada
I checked out various courses, and sent out feelers. At the time, I was not yet ready to start. I needed a course that was flexible in every way. My job as a general surgeon in small community made my time very precious, and my schedule very unpredictable. I could not submit to a fixed time commitment. I needed more time than the average student to get through the course, given my job, my family and other commitments. The best and most professional response, I received from ICA.

    1. Introduction
    This essay explores the topic of coaching teenagers and young people and specifically with life coaching. This is a niche area of coaching and one that takes a specific understanding of the young person in the immediate cultural as well as an overall understanding of young people and teenagers in general.

    Life Purpose & Freedom Coach, Australia

    Introduction You were born free, but somewhere along the way you lost your freedom. Was it fear? Fear of rejection? Fear of being let down? Fear of not being enough, or good enough, or pretty enough, or intelligent enough? What bound you? What have you compromised? What have you given up or lost? What do you compromise for the sake of peace or security? Do you compromise your dreams, your desires, your identity, your values, your freedom to be you?
