2026 Learning Groups
Learning Groups offer great opportunities to receive support for your development as a professional coach, deepen your mastery of coaching, connect with your colleagues, and explore new territory ... and many of them offer CCEs!
NOTE: You must be registered for the learning group in order to participate AND you need to be present at the group sessions [in-person or virtual] to be eligible for receiving CCEs.)
All of the groups are included with your ICF-CO annual fee - no matter how many you join!
As you prepare to register for 2026 Learning Groups, please keep in mind that unlike one-off a la carte events (such as our webinars and monthly chapter meetings), many of these groups are designed to be ongoing. Given that participants build on their development and their connection to the group over the course of the year, attendance at all sessions is essential in order to get the most out of the experience. Your ongoing presence in the learning groups to which you commit truly matters, so if you sign up, we ask that you plan to show up on a regular basis. Most of the groups meet virtually (on Zoom), some groups may do a hybrid combo of virtual and in-person (depending on current health precautions and other factors).
*Group Size is limited and most groups are designed as a continuing cohort for the year, so we suggest that you grab your spot quickly and plan to attend on a regular basis! Once you have registered, you will receive confirmation of group details and logistics.
All Learning Groups are included with your ICF Colorado Season Pass membership fee.

Coaching with IFS: Internal Family Systems

Internal Family Systems (IFS) was developed as a therapeutic model and has gained a lot of attention, and has recently been adapted for coaching. This is a "parts work" model, meaning that it assumes we relate to ourselves as subpersonalities, or parts. Coaching with IFS is a very effective way of dissecting the problem into smaller pieces that are more easily managed.
This training and practice group is appropriate for coaches at all levels of experience with IFS or parts work. We will explore how parts show up in ourselves and our clients, the model of IFS for coaches, and how to practice it at all levels from the most superficial to the deepest work with parts.

In an era shaped by artificial intelligence, our capacity for creativity, storytelling, and authentic human connection has never been more essential. This monthly complimentary learning group invites coaches to explore imaginative and embodied ways to deepen self-awareness, creative expression, and professional presence through different modalities such as art, movement, nature, and energy awareness.
A crucial part of coaching is the process of making people think—inviting curiosity, reflection, and transformation. The more tools you have, the more confidently you can navigate each conversation. This learning group helps you build a creative “toolbox” you can draw from with your clients—allowing for a playful, joyful, and authentic approach to learning and growth.
