Launched in 2004, the Professional Coaching Program (PCP) is an advanced-level course. With the goal of adding professional coaching to their internal or external activities, program participants bring experience in counseling, consulting, human resources, organization development, business, and other fields.
Offered as a partnership of iCoachNewYork and Baruch College’s Zicklin School of Business Leadership Initiative, PCP offers small class sizes and intensive involvement with faculty, guaranteeing a personalized professional development experience. Each participant finds his or her own voice as a coach through best-practice presentations, discussions, readings, and interaction with distinguished guest speakers. All these elements are brought together in a real coaching assignment supported by intensive individual supervision.
