Coaching for Innovation – 6 CCEs in Core Competencies

Capacity, confidence, capability, and environment influence creativity which is the zero-starting point of the innovation process, with the individual as the starting point of every idea. Creativity is, by definition, the ability to create new ideas, but ideas as a result of creativity must have economic value to be treated as an ‘innovation’.

Nurturing, promoting and supporting innovation is a fundamental coaching skill set any level of coach can better hone to draw upon for both individual coaching clients as well as in team environments.

Whether you take a top-down or a bottom-up approach with your client, cultivate your coaching agility to meet them where they’re at in their stage of innovation in alignment with the ICF core competencies.
