What is coaching?

Accepted Answer

We adhere to the International Coaching Federation (ICF) definition of coaching: partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal professional potential.

Question 7

What is a "CPC"

Accepted Answer

"CPC" stands for Certified Professional Coach. It is important to note there are no legal requirements to be able to call yourself a leadership or lifestyle coach the way there is for other professions such as social workers or lawyers, for example.

However, someone who has obtained their CPC qualification has demonstrated componetence in coaching by meeting specific standards of training, experience, and ethical practice as independently assessed and credentialed by the ICF. The ICF is widely regarded as the "gold standard" in the coaching industry, providing globally recognized credentials and signaling professionalism and high-qualify coaching practice.

Question 8

Is coaching the same as consulting?

Accepted Answer

No. As coaches, we do not provide direct advice or guidance for achieving solutions. Instead, we provide the space and expertise to guide our clients toward realizing solutions to the goals they set for themselves.

Further, we are not a licensed mental health provider either. We do not treat or address past traumas or mental health conditions.
