International Coaching Week 2026 is May 11-17, and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate with you!
Let’s Empower • Inspire • Celebrate
Here are three ways to give back during ICW:
Option #1: Pro Bono Coaching with ICF-CT at a Local Social
We’re kicking things off with something special… Coffee with a Coach, A Local Social with a Stir!
Join us for a different kind of local social during ICW! Whether you’re a coach, curious about coaching, or simply looking to connect, this is a welcoming space to meet others, have meaningful conversations, and even experience coaching. You can even bring a friend!
And yes, coffee is on us!
Here’s when and where we’re gathering. Click on each for details and to register:
- Monday, May 11 in Waterford, CT
- Tuesday, May 12 in Ellington, CT
- Wednesday, May 13 in East Haven, CT
- Wednesday, May 13 in Litchfield, CT
- Wednesday, May 13 - Virtual via Zoom
- Thursday, May 14 in Wethersfield, CT
- Friday, May 15 in Fairfield, CT
Coaches who register to attend each of our ICW Local Socials will be invited (as an option) to provide coaching sessions in addition to socializing. This is a great opportunity to introduce non-ICF-CT members to the power of coaching. As a coach, you can both be coached and/or coach others.
Here’s how it works:.
- Register for the “Coffee with a Coach” local social near you.
- Share the link to the local social you’re going to with your network (or bring a friend).
- Copy and share the post provided below in your social media or email communications to promote your pro-bono coaching, location and time.
Option #2: Pro Bono Coaching on your own
We’ve created some marketing pieces for you if you want to offer Pro Bono coaching on your own!
Sample captions to inspire your posts:
- “Join me in celebrating International Coaching Week. I am giving back to my community by offering 3 hours of pro-bono coaching. Who’s ready to grow?”
- “Coaching changes lives. In honor of International Coaching Week, I’m opening up pro-bono sessions to support our community. Message me for a free, 30-minute session.”
- “Join me in celebrating International Coaching Week! I’m donating coaching hours to make an impact—message me to learn more.”
You can use the images below for your marketing purposes. Just right-click and “save as” on your computer.
Option #3: Pro Bono Coaching with ICF Global
You can also offer pro bono coaching to the global coaching community through the ICF Global network. Details and instructions can be accessed on the ICF-CT website on the ICW page.
Check out this simple process.
We can’t wait to connect, celebrate, and elevate the power of coaching together!
Warmly,
ICF-CT
