The Definition of Coaching by ICLI RISING

Transformational coaching at ICLI RISING is a deep partnership with clients, fostering an environment that emphasizes both “being” and “doing”. Through a thought-provoking, creative, and inclusive journey, clients are not only inspired to realize their fullest personal and professional goals, but also to explore and embrace the essence of their being. The client, therefore, is celebrated in their entirety and recognized as the primary driver of the coaching experience.

“Enrolling in the Expert Coach Immersion Program was one of the most transformative decisions l’ve made for my personal and professional growth.

The comprehensive curriculum not only equipped me with practical coaching skills, but also challenged me to dive deep into self-discovery.

Through the program, I learned the art of active listening, powerful questioning, and the nuances of guiding individuals toward their full potential… It helped me embrace vulnerability and authenticity, enabling me to connect with others on a much deeper level.

My cobort engaged in meaningful discussions that will stay with me forever.

She taught us what it means to be a life coach, and we are so grateful that we can share her knowledge, light, and warmth with our students.

Before ICLI Rising, I was looking for a coaching program. What I found was a true North Star calling.

ICLI Rising is more than a school, it is a living, breathing mission to fuse intention with expertise. From the very first interaction, you feel it; this isn’t transactional learning, it is transformational growth.

What sets ICLI Rising apart is the ecosystem. Coaching here isn’t treated as a subject to master, it becomes the air you breathe. You don’t just practice coaching techniques, you embody what it means to lead with purpose.

You leave not just certified, but changed, clearer in your voice, stronger in your presence, and deeply inspired to serve at a higher level.

ICLI Rising doesn’t just prepare you for credentialing, it prepares you to become the kind of coach the world truly needs.
