If you’re pursuing the Coaching Conversations 60-hour program to complete the training requirement for the CCE’s Board Certified Coach exam, there’s an important update you’ll want to note:

✅ Coaching Lab Requirement Reduced

You now only need to complete 15 hours of Coaching Lab sessions—five (5) three-hour sessions—instead of the previous requirement of 18 hours (six sessions).
This change applies no matter when you started the program.

📋 New Coaching Log Available

A revised Coaching Log should now be live in Canvas. Website updates are coming soon.  These updates reflect:

• The updated 15-hour Coaching Lab requirement.
• Adjusted workshop times to account for asynchronous work completed before or after each session.

🕰️ Already Completed Workshops Still Count

All workshops you’ve already completed still count toward your 60-hour total. Be sure to log everything—even if it was completed before this change.

Hello, everyone!  The primary source for your Coaching Conversations learning modules and materials is shifting to a new updated and expanded Coaching Conversations Canvas site!

Below is a picture of what the tile for the new site looks like in Canvas.  Note that under the words IU’s Coaching Conversations, the date shown is 2025.  That date – 2025 – is the cue that you’re in the correct Canvas site.

If you have access to the original 2018 Coaching Conversations Canvas site, your access will continue until June 1, 2026.  However, from now onward, we will exclusively use the new version of the Coaching Conversations Canvas site for all trainings materials, on-demand components, and resources.

If you don’t already have access to the new Canvas site, we will add you when you register for your next Coaching Conversations training. You don’t need to act now.

If you have questions, feel free to email us at navigate@iu.edu.  Write “New Coaching Conversations Canvas site” in the subject line.

We hope the revisions and new content support you in your growth and development as a coach!
