Public Special Interest Groups

 Special Interest Groups (SIGs) were created at CoachInc.com to provide a forum to meet and discuss similar interests and specialties.

To join a SIG, please email the host listed. The host will email you more information, answer any questions you might have and give you the bridge number to call for meetings. The general public is welcome to join any SIG, except those that indicate "Coaches Only."

Once you're a student in one of our main programs, you will have access to even more special interest groups to increase your skills or knowledge in an area, to network with other coaches, and generally to participate in the coaching community. If you are a Student/Graduate, click here to see the full list of SIG's.
