The ASCT Internship Program
Coaching is not a spectator sport!
You need to work with clients to develop your coaching muscles
– you can’t learn to coach with lecture and discussion alone.ASCT participants are encouraged to put on their coaching hats almost immediately, while you have supervision, feedback, and back-up. Although we provide a supervised lab setting through-out your training, nothing replaces experience one-on-one, coach to client.
ASCT addresses the need for practical experience in several ways.
- In addition to assigned Peer Coaches, rotating through
the members of your class community,- we STRONGLY encourage you to begin enrolling clients
in your own community (“Even if you have to pay THEM,”
as Thomas J. Leonard, founder of the coaching field said to
the early students in the world’s first “life” coach training).- In combination with the ADDed Dimension Coaching Group,
we also administrate a program that provides a resource for you
and for the ADD community: the ASCT Internship Program.What is the ASCT Internship Program?
The ASCT Internship Program was developed to support your transition from student to coach. In collaboration with the ADDed Dimension Coaching Group, student interns are matched with prospective clients requesting special fees’ consideration.
As with ANY internship, the goal of the ADD in the Spirit Internship Program [ASCT-IP] is to allow a student to gain experience putting into practice what he or she has been learning — in an environment as close to “real world” working experience as possible.
• Participation in a coaching internship program provides a way of building a coaching “resume” before graduation, so that the prospect of building a practice doesn’t seem as daunting as it might otherwise.
• An additional benefit is that field-of-study work experience adds to the students’ ability to internalize the lessons of the remainder of their training.
Once you have the necessary experience, students who have informed us of their interest will be invited to apply.
An integral part of the Internship Program is the requirement that student coaches receive monthly group mentor coaching from Peggy or Madelyn (at an additional fee, paid from your ASCT-IP coaching revenues). This support system extends the learning and helps to ensure that the coaching partnership is a successful experience for student and client alike.
It is important to note that as we have no control over the number of prospective Special Rates clients who come through the addcoaching.com Web site, we can not guarantee that every Intern will have a client. Also, we carefully take into consideration “best fit” when matching client and student.
