In this course, students examine, discuss and apply the key principles and strategies from eight groups of theories which underpin coaching practice and competence: theories from humanistic and transpersonal psychology, adult learning, adult development, behavioral change and neuroscience, cognitive-behavioral theories, intelligences, communication, gender and culture. Each theory set is aligned with specific coaching competencies as defined by the International Coach Federation. This course is not approved by ICF for continuing coach education units (CCEs).
