LOOKING FOR NEW AND MEANINGFUL WAYS TO SERVE OUR MEMBERS—Renew the Navigator program?
What could shift in your coaching practice, business, or leadership journey if you had direct access to an experienced coach for guidance and conversation?
The ICFTN Navigator Program matches a skilled ICFTN coach with a member who is seeking expert advice or conversation around a variety of issues, including: use of AI, business development, team coaching, etc. The program was well-received in the past, and we're looking to revive it to serve our current members.
Please respond to the VERY brief survey below so we can determine the level of interest and potential for recruiting navigators (survey has only 3 questions).
NOTE: This survey closes on Monday, July 6, 2026
