RMKS/1.  This NAVADMIN solicits applications for uniformed Navy personnel to 
participate in a Department of Defense Inter-Service Internal Coaching 
Training Program in line with reference (a), henceforth known as the Coaching 
Culture Facilitator Course (CCFC). 
It is a rigorous 16-week virtual program (30 November 2021 through 31 March 
2022) which will prepare participants to educate, promote and foster a 
coaching culture within their respective service.  This CCFC serves as an 
internal coaching training program offered to create internal coaches across 
the Department of Defense (DoD) to enhance the performance of every Service 
Member and increase warfighter readiness and lethality.  The CCFC provides a 
pathway to increase the number of trained coaches in each service branch. 
There are 24 Navy quotas in this pilot CCFC. 
 
2.  Description of CCFC 
    a.  The CCFC is a 16-week virtual program of instruction which provides 
80 hours of coach-specific training across a curriculum approved by the 
International Coaching Federation (ICF).  The curriculum includes 30 hours of 
coach training for a Leadership Coach Certification from Flatter, Inc., 30 
hours of additional coach training to meet the needed 60 hours required for 
application for an ICF coaching certification, 10 hours of mentor-coaching 
required for ICF certification and 10 hours of CCFC specific orientation and 
training. 
    b.  The CCFC instructional methodology is focused on providing 
experiential learning with opportunities for participants to coach other 
participants and leaders from the course.  Classes are conducted on Tuesdays 
and Thursdays for two hours and Wednesdays for one hour for the duration of 
the course.  Content includes lectures, the introduction of coaching tools 
and case studies.  Participants must attend at least 80 percent of class 
hours live.  Missed live classes can be taken asynchronously. 
 
3.  Applications must reflect a commitment to build and sustain a Navy 
coaching culture.  The selection process will focus on personal statements 
related to interest in becoming a Navy coach, how becoming a Navy coach will 
contribute to the short-term and long-term career goals of the applicant, the 
commitment on behalf of the applicant to changing the culture of the Navy 
through coaching and how the applicant has helped someone develop a plan for

intended to be accomplished during normal duty hours. Supervisors are 
expected to support the on-duty participation of Service Members as much as

the supervisor to schedule work for the Service Member.  All coaching 
engagements must have approval from immediate supervisors to minimize 
conflicts with organizational mission priorities.

listening skills, respectfulness, trustworthiness and demonstrate sensitivity 
and discretion towards the issues of others in the organization.  Applicants 
should also express encouragement and optimism in both easy and difficult 
situations and demonstrate accountability for self and others. 
    c.  The supervisor may nominate no more than one officer or enlisted 
member and no more than a total of two applicant nominations per command due 
to the limited number of seats for this pilot, a 24 person cohort.
