The curriculum in this course is designed for nurses and other professionals interested in establishing a group coaching practice that integrates energy concepts and experiential practices in their professional coaching practice. The course was developed around the core competencies of professional nurse coaching as defined by the American Holistic Nurses Credentialing Corporation and the International Coaching Federation. The theoretical framework underpinning this course is based on Jean Gebser’s 5 structures of consciousness: archaic, intuitive/magical, mythical, mental, and integral.
Each student will receive a group coaching manual that contains 6 prepared group coaching sessions using energy tools. By week 6 of the course, students will be able to establish their own group coaching practice with the support of faculty.
