Child/adolescent Development and Parenting (CADP) Reciprocal Peer Coaching Program
As a professional coach, your determination to enhance your skills and grow your coaching practice is commendable. At Ignite Global, we recognize the importance of continuous development, which is why we’ve created the CADP Peer Coaching Program. This platform allows you to gain valuable coaching experience by working directly with your peers, fostering growth, and refining your coaching techniques in a supportive environment.
Not only does this program help you build your expertise, but the coaching hours you accumulate also count towards the experience required to earn your ICF credentials—whether ACC, PCC, or MCC. This way, you can confidently advance your career while working towards these important designations.
Frequently Asked Questions (fAQs)
To obtain your ICF credentials, you are required to accumulate 100 conducted coaching hours for ACC, 500 conducted coaching hours for PCC and 2500 conducted coaching hours for MCC. One of the main challenges coaches who are working toward their credentials encounter is how to obtain that many paid coaching hours within a reasonable period of time.
However, the good news is that ICF recognizes reciprocal coaching as paid coaching hours. In order to be considered as Reciprocal Coaching (Paid Coaching for ICF Credential Application), each Participating Coach should conduct the equal number of coaching sessions as a Coach with the respective peer.
The Child/Adolescent Development and Parenting (CADP) Reciprocal Peer Coaching Program is a specialized initiative designed to support individuals, particularly those involved in child and adolescent development or parenting, in honing their coaching skills through a peer-to-peer model. This program provides participants with the opportunity to engage in coaching sessions with fellow peers, allowing them to both give and receive coaching in a reciprocal manner.
The core focus of the CADP Reciprocal Peer Coaching Program is to facilitate the exchange of knowledge, experiences, and strategies related to child and adolescent development and parenting. By participating in this program, individuals can develop a deeper understanding of effective coaching techniques, enhance their communication skills, and gain practical experience in addressing the unique challenges faced by parents and those working with children and adolescents.
Additionally, the coaching hours accumulated through this program can contribute to the experience required for participants to earn ICF credentials—whether ACC, PCC, or MCC—thereby advancing their professional development in the field of coaching. The program fosters a collaborative learning environment, where participants not only improve their own coaching abilities but also contribute to the growth and success of their peers.
