RMKS/1.  This NAVADMIN solicits applications for uniformed Navy personnel to

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

required for ICF certification and 10 hours of CCFC specific orientation and 
training. 
    b.  The CCFC instructional methodology is focused on providing

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

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

7.  Role of Supervisors 
    a.  Coaching is a learning and development activity and therefore is 
intended to be accomplished during normal duty hours. Supervisors are 
expected to support the on-duty participation of Service Members as much as 
possible.  Moreover, supporting Service Member participation in no way limits 
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. 
    b.  Applicants must be volunteers and possess self-awareness, good 
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.
