University Partnerships




ICF-WA continues its strong partnership three state universities in their Graduate Schools of Business. Our goal in University Partnerships is to elevate the value and impact of coaching in the business world, for leaders who may not be exposed to the benefits of coaching at all, or until later in their careers. Graduate MBA students in all programs and the executive coaches volunteering, say they would recommend this program and its value to other students and coaches.

  • “My coach and I have developed a strong relationship. I have gained so much introspective work from the time I have spent with her that is hard to accomplish in the classroom. I could not recommend this (experience) enough.” UW Bothell MBA student.
  • “Growth can occur at any time, from any individual, at any age - we cannot put limits on how much others can teach us! Throughout the experience, I gained insights on my personal, professional, and educational inspirations.” UW Tacoma MBA student
  • “MBA students who collaborate with coaches will be better business leaders because of this experience. That was made clear to me, and I am grateful for the experience.” ICF-WA Coach Volunteer
