Why is it important to get an ICF accreditation?
Coaching is transformative, not only for those we coach, but for coaches as well. There is a reason this profession is exploding globally. It's a $2+ billion industry that attracts tens of thousands of new coaches every year. Unfortunately, not everyone who calls themselves a coach has the ability to deliver incredible results for their clients. You probably have seen coaches that use coach as a marketing tool or a synonym for things like advisor, mentor, or instructor. ​That's why the International Coaching Federation (ICF) established the gold standard in coaching nearly three decades ago. To distinguish dedicated coaches with the expertise and experience from those who aren't yet qualified to coach. All ICF credentialed coaches operate using a high standard of ethics, conduct, and core competencies. You've likely realized that potential clients and organizations are demanding their coaches have an ICF credential, and are ready to get certified yourself. According to a recent study on coaching*: 79% of clients in established markets and 86% in emerging markets reported holding a credential was important or very important. Credential holders command higher fees, report more clients, and achieve higher annual revenue than those without a credential. Clients report 96% satisfaction rate for coaches who hold a credential.
