• We expect the coach to take the initiative or lead the nomination process. The coach obtains information and documents from ICF Belgium to complete the nomination.

At this meeting, the coach and the CEO / HRD review together the various questions asked. The coach completes the online application form.

This process will identify development points to further enhance the coaching program and its impact. This can only strengthen the collaboration between the coach and his clients / bosses / sponsors.

• Thanks to the nomination (and possibly the victory), the coach responsible for the nomination will have had a direct impact on the visibility of the organization in the social media, on the sites of ICF Belgium and Corporate HR Awards and during of the ceremony. => Positive impact on the visibility of the coach within the organization.

How long does it take to complete the application?

• It depends primarily on the size of the nominated organization. For an SME or a startup, the factual information (number of people benefiting from the program, number of coaches involved, ...) are fairly easily gathered. For a large organization, obtaining this data may take some time.

• We recommend that the coach who nominates the organization plans a one-hour meeting with the HRD or the CEO to interview them on his / her perception of the impact of the coaching program and answer open questions. The coach can write the final text based on these answers.

• Once the data is collected in the preparation form, send the form to the address

What if I do not have all the information to complete the file?
