February 7 – 13, 2010 is International Coaching Week!

International Coaching Week (ICW) is a weeklong global celebration of the coaching profession held annually, during the first week in February. Originally founded in 1999 by ICF member Jerri N. Udelson, MCC, ICW is a designated time each year for coaches and clients to educate the general public about the value of working with a professional coach and to acknowledge the results and progress made through the coaching process.

During this extended commemoration, coaches around the world offer a variety of activities and pro bono services in their local communities to share what coaching has the ability to do.

The International Coach Federation is a proud sponsor of ICW and encourages coaches all over the globe to participate by holding special events during the designated International Coaching Week. ICW is a special time each year for all professional coaches to join together and celebrate the profession as one.
