The Institute of Coaching (IOC) is dedicated to ensuring scientific integrity in the field of coaching. Through our global membership, we disseminate the best coaching science and empower coaches to catalyze positive change and wellbeing. The IOC is based at McLean Hospital. McLean is a member of Mass General Brigham, and the largest psychiatric affiliate of Harvard Medical School.
The Institute of Coaching (IOC) is based at McLean Hospital. Founded in 1811, McLean is the top freestanding psychiatric hospital in the U.S., a member of Mass General Brigham, and the largest psychiatric affiliate of Harvard Medical School.
By bringing a strong scientific foundation to the practice of coaching, the IOC is making a large, global impact on the collective well-being of individuals, leaders, teams, organizations and communities.
The formation of the Institute of Coaching (2009) began with a $2 million donation from the Harnisch Foundation, followed by the creation of our global IOC community of 5,000+ members in 75 countries.
The global IOC community emerged from our 14 Coaching in Leadership and Healthcare conferences delivered since 2008 as a collaboration of the Institute of Coaching, McLean, and Harvard Medical School.
