SCOPE

The Prism award, originally created in greater Toronto in 2000, was developed to recognize outstanding organizational coaching initiatives. In 2005 the International Coach Federation (ICF) Global adopted the concept to recognize coaching excellence worldwide.

Today, the International Prism Award honors businesses and organizations with coaching programs that fulfill rigorous professional standards, address key strategic goals, shape organizational culture, and yield discernible and measurable positive impacts.

For 15 years, this award has continued to honor organizations that have implemented coaching programs that fulfill rigorous professional standards, and exemplify how professional coaching can maximize individual potential, shape the culture of an organization and address key strategic goals leading directly to bottom line benefits.

The Prism award has recently been launched as a new initiative in ICF Ottawa Chapter in March 2016.
