Dear Coaches of ICF Washington State

In the face of the global pandemic of COVID-19 ICF Washington State Chapter would like to support you as much as we can while staying on the safe side and following the public health guidance. We are cancelling all our face to face satellite events at least until further updates from state authorities are available. Our education and satellite leadership teams are working on bringing more events online so that you can still be in touch with your coaching community, check our offerings at events page. 

To support your ties to our coaching community we continue to make as many events as possible free to attend for our members and non-members alike.

We will continue communicating with you as our response to the situation evolves. The disruption to our lives that this outbreak has caused is on a big scale, and as such, any change carries a whole range of emotional responses. Our psychological well-being and connectedness is just as important now as ever. We encourage you to stay in touch with your peer coaches and supervisors and take all the measures necessary to stay physically and psychologically safe. 

We believe in the power of our community and coaching overall to support ourselves, our families and our clients in time of uncertainty. Coaching is a caring profession, ICF global has created a page with information resources consolidated here: https://coachfederation.org/wecare. We hope it will help you to stay informed and safe.

Our best, 

ICF WA Board of Directors
