Module 1 develops the foundational skills of professional coaching: rapport building, active listening, powerful questioning, pattern recognition, and framing and reframing. These map directly to the ICF Core Competencies and are the capabilities the ICF assesses against at ACC and PCC credentialing levels. The module then builds on these foundations with the Transformational Coaching Framework and three proprietary Laser Question Models — questioning patterns that surface unconscious material in coaching conversations.
