GRADUATE COMMUNITY
Communities of practice
What people do after they finish the program
Making a living as an Integral Coach
Continuing education
Graduates have access to a rich network of people and resources for ongoing learning and development. Many have joined—or started—a community of practice with fellow graduates. Examples of existing communities include book clubs, professional development circles, a case consultation group that meets by telephone, an Enneagram for Coaches study group, women's circles, and an Integral Men's group.
What people do after they finish the program
We surveyed our graduates a couple of years ago and found that a majority was actively involved in coaching people in some capacity.
- Many held full-time jobs and coached people in their organizations or on the side.
- Many had started or were in the process of starting coaching practices, either as their main source of income or as part of a larger consulting practice.
- A small minority did not have coaching clients, yet were using the language and practices of coaching in their jobs and everyday lives.
Making a living as an Integral Coach
We think it's helpful to recognize that making a living through coaching means starting a client-based business. Graduates who succeed in starting and growing businesses typically possess not only competence in coaching, but also several additional attributes such as marketing skill, a good network of support, the ability to craft a powerful offer, effective pricing, organization, and perseverance. It also helps to have a clearly identified niche, and this typically grows out of coaches' existing network coupled with issues or possibilities about which they are passionate.
We offer a number of opportunities for graduates to continue developing their competence and participating in a community of coaches. Advanced Curriculum
