OEC Description
Ontario has a substantial pool ofprofessional coaches, many of whom are already certified by ICF. The local ICF chapter is one of the largest and most active in the world. Although these coaches have covered the basic coaching competencies required for certification, they may not have developed the specialized knowledge that enables them to become successful in government, agencies, business, or other organizations—the various aspects of leadership coaching. Coaches who received training in “life” or “personal” coaching may wish to shift away from or add to this niche. In any case, most coach training is deficient in providing an introduction to practical solutions for internal coaches or for those in private practice. In addition, all certifications require continuing education in order to maintain one’s status. Many existing coaches, especially those whose prior training was limited mainly to skills rather than incorporating conceptual knowledge and mindset, have expressed the desire to undergo further training to expand their understanding and freshen their approach.
Admissions: Applicants must
- be ICF-certified at least at the ACC-level OR have completed APC Parts 1 and 2 or equivalent 60 hours of coach-specific training.
- have had a minimum of three years work experience in the human side of organizations (i.e., HRD, training, career counselling or coaching, organization development, management consulting, teaching, etc.).
- complete an application form including evidence of prior coach training, a resume of work experience, and a 250-word description of goals and rationale for completing the OEC Certificate.
- state objectives for learning consonant with the instructional goals of the program.
Students-at-large may register for individual Modules, as long as they meet the Admissions requirements and have completed any prerequisites. Certificate 1: Leadership Coaching in the Workplace students may substitute Electives OEC 461, 463, and 464 for LCW Electives.
Time to completion: Courses will be scheduled over 8 months, with a 24-month limit on OEC Certificate completion.
OEC Instructional Goals:
- Educate professional coaches in additional skills, knowledge, and attitudes required to practice in an educational, government, or business setting working with executives and other leaders.
- Offer tools and techniques for assessment, observation, and coaching of individuals, teams, and organizations.
- Guide skill and mindset development and actions that lead to an organizational and/or executive coaching practice characterized by success and integrity.
- Introduce the latest advances in theory and research that may positively influence the practice of organizational and/or executive coaching.
- Establish coaching and leadership as engaging influential partnerships, distinct from coaches and leaders as experts.
- Expand knowledge and strategies to support decision-making regarding human services in organizational realities of continuous change, turbulence and complexity.
- Reflect appreciative and positive values to optimize learning and experiences and to contribute to improving the quality of work and community life.
