With Kurt Stewart and Alexandra Pereira
In this interview, ICA student Alexandra Pereira (based in Lisbon) talks with Kurt Stewart, ICA’s project manager for international development. Alexandra talks about her experience with ICA as a non-native speaker of English and the advantages of training as a coach in a multi-cultural learning environment.
Alexandra has a background in counselling and came to coaching while working on her Master’s thesis which focused on the coaching profession of her country, Portugal. The results of her two years of research formed the basis of her pioneering book, Coaching in Portugal, which as become an important reference for coaches throughout Portugal.
Alexandra recently began work at Mercer Consulting Portugal to head up their new department devoted to implementing coaching models within the corporate world. She began the CPCP program with ICA in March 2007 and plans to graduate in December 2007.

Alexandra benefited from ICA’s scholarship program. This program, managed by Dennis Griffin, provides opportunities for students to not only access coach training, but contributes to the international growth of ICA by promoting our coach training programs to their local networks. Dennis says “…one of the many things that sets ICA apart from other coach training companies is out commitment to providing coach training programs right across the globe. This helps our students build friendships and networks all around the world, and provides a unique multi-cultural training environment that I believe is unparalleled”.
