My goal was to deepen my learning about an inviteCHANGE training program and gain new knowledge and skills in the process, in that order. I knew I was about to embark on an impeccable learning experience led by Amorah Ross, MCC, and I was delighted to receive a bonus from the cohesive efforts of the learning community that enabled me to make a shift in my coaching abilities and behaviors. In addition, this process gave me new insights for how ICF can help strengthen the value proposition of the coaching profession.
