Two years in the making

I’ve achieved the Associate Certified Coach credential, issued by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). This means a lot to me, but probably not a lot to you. The ICF describe what this takes as:

Associate Certified Coach (ACC) Credential-holders are trained (60+ hours) and experienced (100+ hours) coaches. They have demonstrated knowledge and emerging proficiency in the application of the ICF Core Competencies, Code of Ethics, and definition of coaching. Earners show a commitment to high ethical standards and have demonstrated, through rigorous assessment, professional competence in their work with clients.

To reach this milestone, I’ve completed over 164 hours of specific coach training, over 150 hours of coaching, and passed an ICF-accredited coaching performance assessment and an ICF coach knowledge assessment exam.

Coaching is not a regulated profession. But this credential gives my coaching clients the reassurance of my experience, my ethical standards and my coaching knowledge and capability.

I’ve loved working with each and every person I’ve coached, it’s really a privilege to stand alongside someone committed to making progress. If you’re one of those people, thank you.
