How to complete practicum coaching sessions

Throughout your HCI Health and HCI Life Coach Certification journey, you will complete three coaching practice sessions with Practicum clients of your choice. These sessions are designed to help you apply the coaching skills and session structure you’ve been learning, and to give you valuable hands-on experience.

We ask that you complete these sessions with others outside of the program, to ensure you are gaining the confidence you need to step out of your comfort zone. Your practicum clients can be friends, family members, colleagues, or potential clients.

Rather than being evaluated or graded, these sessions are for your own growth and development as a coach. After each practice session, you will submit a personal written reflection. In your reflection, assess your coaching experience by highlighting the skills you used, noting what went well, sharing lessons you learned, and identifying areas where you’d like to grow in future sessions.

How to complete a Practicum Coaching Session:

• Navigate to your course in the Learning Hub
• Under Content select Coaching Practice with Practicum Clients
• Complete a coaching session with your client based on what you have learned in the program
• Submit your 200-300 word feedback
