Anyone can represent themselves as a coach. Here’s what I mean when I say it…
I’ve attended a certified coaching program with a reputable university, been certified by a regulatory body that has verified I exhibit the competencies and best practices of a professional coach, and am a member of a professional association with a defined code of conduct and ethics. (Oh, and I’ve logged hundreds of hours coaching paying clients.)
My formal credentials:
- Georgetown University’s Institute for Transformational Leadership Coaching Program: Graduate
- International Coaches Federation: Professional Certified Coach – PCC™
- Leadership Circle Profile™ Certification
- Leadership Circle Culture Survey™ Certification
- Wiley DiSC Assessment: Certified Facilitator
As a learning junkie, I’ve also attended the following courses for my ongoing education in this space:
- Georgetown University: The Art of Facilitation
- Google: Search Inside Yourself Leadership Program
- Minds at Work: Immunity to Change
- Growth Edge Network: Conversations at the Growing Edge
- The Art of Developmental Coaching
- Association for Talent Development: Telling Ain’t Training
- Association for Talent Development: Crucial Conversations
- Association for Talent Development: Identifying & Developing High Potential Employees
In addition to supporting a number of non-profits through both my coaching and facilitation offerings, I serve on the Board of Directors for United Community.
