36. Understanding the ICF

While there is no regulation for the coaching industry, we do
have a governing body.


That governing body is known as the International Coach
Federation (ICF).


While the ICF does not regulate the industry, they do create a
standard for ethics and professionalism so that coaches operate
with integrity.


The ICF also does not train coaches, but they do provide
accreditation to certain programs that meet their standards and
Code of Ethics.


It is not easy for a program to receive accreditation with the
ICF, but Thriving Coach Academy has earned its highest level of
accreditation.


When it comes to having credibility as a coach, it is essential
you receive certification from a program accredited by the
ICF. 


In this episode, we demystify the ICF and share with you all that
you need to know about establishing credibility as a coach.
