What You’ll Do

• Enneagram Assessment and Debrief (USD 500 Value): The Integrative Enneagram creates self-awareness and uncovers the patterns of behavior that subconsciously drive and motivate us to act in certain ways. When we make these patterns and motivations conscious, we are able to transcend them and develop richer, more supportive ways of being. Working with the Enneagram empowers individuals to take responsibility for their own behaviors and growth from a greater understanding of why they act and react the way they do.
• Thought-Leaders Sessions (Priceless): 3 to 5 sessions, 2 hours each, are being planned to be taught and facilitated by thought-leaders in topics that include but are not limited to Professional Coaching, Systems Coaching, Systemic Constellations, and Professional Facilitation.
• Five Experience-based Scenarios: Throughout the program, you will practice your skills using real-life scenarios developed by our co-leaders. This learning approach enables you to analyze and develop responses that include coaching plans, tools, facilitation plans, and teaching aids. We have learned from experience that this scenario-based approach enables you to learn from others’ experiences, collaborate with others, and develop novel responses.
• Synchronous Learning: This cohort meets weekly, with the exception of holidays, totaling more than 150+ hours of synchronous instruction. The learning includes large-group calls, small-group supervision, scenario calls, skill drills, practice spaces, and a virtual residential. We’ve also built in additional asynchronous learning, building upon the core class learnings.
• Individual Coaching and Personalized Supervision: We strongly believe that the best way to understand the power of coaching is to receive coaching. As part of this cohort, you will receive four hours of private, individual coaching.
• Assessment and Feedback: Practice and feedback are required to improve existing or developing skills; ICAgile requires that you practice each of the core skills–coaching, mentoring, teaching, and facilitating-for a minimum of 25 hours per skill for the duration of the cohort. At the program’s midpoint, you’ll submit recordings of each skill, submitting them for assessment and feedback to ensure that you are on track.
• Interweaving Skills/Application at Work: This cohort draws upon the research of behavioral scientists such as Katy Milkman, adult-development models from Robert Kegan and Claire Graves, Christopher Avery’s Responsibility Process, and more. Additionally, practical, must-have skills, such as designing alliances, crossing edges, and navigating conflict, will be modeled and taught so that you can practice and apply these skills with your organization.
• Two Virtual Residentials: We’ll kick off with a virtual residential, setting up our container and getting aligned with the program requirements. The first virtual residential will be held over two days, 5 hours each day. We’ll also have a midpoint residential, giving us a safe space to come together and continue our in-depth exploration. The second virtual residential will be held over four days, 4 hours each day.
• Supportive Learning Practice: We know that independent practice supports both learning and community. We’ll create learning triads, rotating every 3-4 months. Then, toward the end of the cohort, you will participate in colleague-led calls. We also set up additional safe practice spaces outside regular sessions through coaching circles, teaching/facilitation groups, and active engagement.

By the Numbers

Each month, plan to spend 10+ hours in cohort calls, skill drills, dojo, stage work, and practice. You will also spend time each month reviewing material, practicing skills, and meeting with your triad. Ours is an intensive program, meaning that you’ll need the support of your organization, teams, and those in your inner circle.
