Looking for a way to learn and grow alongside another coach? Consider participating as a new or experienced member in the chapter Ambassador Program, a mentorship designed that invites reciprocal learning opportunities.

The Ambassador Program was designed to:

• support onboarding and the development of new coaches

• increase and improve member engagement

• build a stronger culture of communication, knowledge sharing, and skills building

What are the benefits for new members? 

• gain skills and insights based on your needs and coaching practice

• develop a relationship with a “critical chapter friend”

• better understand the benefits of  ICF global and local chapter membership 

• cultivate a larger professional network

What are the benefits for experienced members? 

• gain a new perspective in your coaching specialty by interacting with new members 

• give back to the profession by supporting and engaging with mentees in the work

• enhance your mentoring and/or coaching skills

• broaden your existing professional network

Participation in the Ambassador Pilot Program requires a six month commitment from November to March 2022. The nature of the mentorship relationship will be determined by the two participating members based on the needs of the new member with an expectation of regular connection. In April, participants will be invited to provide feedback which will be used to shape the Ambassador Program for the future. 

It has been an honour and delight to be a partner in the Ambassador Program over the past few months. Initially I signed up to give back to a community I am proud to be a part of, and there has been such joy and learning for me personally along this journey. Together we have stretched, challenged and grown as executive coaches. I find myself looking forward to each of the sessions and believe this will be a life-long relationship I will cherish. I would recommend this program to any coach who is feeling somewhat complacent in their role and wanting to push their own boundaries.   It is truly a win-win of a delicious nature.  - Linda Maul
