Core Competencies Fall Summit with Valerie Freilich, PCC & Shakti Radhakishun, CPCC

Relational Health in Coaching: Deepening ICF Competencies Through Awareness, Courage & Love™

Offered as part of the ICFSFL Wellbeing Committee’s contribution, this session starts from a simple observation: coaches spend their days holding space for others and may not receive the same quality of presence themselves. We treat the coach’s relational well-being as both a personal resource and part of professional practice – the latter, formally now acknowledged by ICF through the 2025 ICF Core Competencies – Competency 2: Embodies a Coaching Mindset.
