Where Learning Feels Transformational
CoachRICE isn’t just about training — it’s about immersing yourself in a place that fuels growth.
Held on Rice University’s stunning campus in the heart of Houston, your coach training experience combines the intellectual rigor of a top-tier university with the personal warmth of a close-knit learning community.
Walk across tree-lined quads between sessions. Connect with fellow learners over coffee. Feel inspired by being part of a campus that’s alive with innovation, inclusion, and purpose.
When you complete your coach education and training at Rice, you’re not just earning an ICF-accredited certification—you’re developing as a coach in a setting built for leaders.
Why Hybrid Learning Works
CoachRICE’s hybrid model combines the best of both worlds—the depth and energy of in-person learning with the flexibility and focus of virtual sessions.
Here’s why it works so well:
- Stronger relationships. In-person sessions build trust, connection, and community — essential qualities for effective coaching.
- Real-world flexibility. Virtual classes allow you to balance learning with your work and personal life, without losing momentum.
- Continuous growth. Alternating between formats helps you apply new skills immediately, reflect, and return to class with real-world insights.
- Broader perspectives. You’ll engage with peers and faculty across locations and industries, enriching your understanding of coaching in different contexts.
Our hybrid approach was intentionally designed to mirror how professional coaching happens today — a blend of deep, human connection and dynamic, flexible engagement.
Become a coach where leadership begins — at Rice University.
