Internal Coaching Network (ICN): Building Community for Internal Coaches

The Internal Coaching Network (ICN), a partnership between International Coaching Federation Minnesota Chapter (ICF MN) and Center for Coaching in Organizations (CCO), brings together professionals who are leading or participating in internal coaching programs within organizations across the Twin Cities.

ICN creates a confidential, judgment-free space for internal coaches to connect, share best practices, and explore common challenges such as strategic alignment, program funding, and leading change inside organizations. Through a mix of in-person and virtual gatherings throughout the year, the network fosters learning, innovation, and community among those advancing coaching cultures within their organizations.

The April Internal Coaching Network (ICN) session brought together a highly experienced group of coaches and leaders for a candid exchange on the impact of AI on coaching within organizations, as well as a “Coaching Lab” where a couple of internal coaches shared challenges they are facing and gathered suggestions and inputs from fellow coaches in a safe and confidential environment.

If you are currently leading or participating in an internal coaching program and are interested in learning more or joining the network, we invite you to connect with the ICN community. Meetings are held every other month, either virtually or in person. For more information, please reach out to ICN Core Team member Jim Willenbring at jwillenbring@thebaileygroup.com.
