by Powerhouse Coaching ICF certified mentor coach

Without doubt the answer is “YES!”

Think about it. Would you recommend a doctor who doesn’t have a license? Would you vouch for an accountant who is yet to get certified? Sure, they may be okay practitioners. Still, you wouldn’t recommend a non-credentialed specialist to anyone.

Credentialing denotes a professional’s level of expertise. That is why if you are a coach, you should definitely consider earning your credentialing from the International Coaching Federation. The ICF is the top agency credentialing coaches across the world. Such a credential will set you up for success and help you become a better coach.

Why should you become a credentialed coach?

Credibility to the coaching industry

The world now is packed with imitations. That is why it is sometimes too hard to tell a copy from a genuine thing. The counterfeits sometimes appear luring because of their low price and because they make tantalizing claims to their qualitie. But a genuine article is so worth their value and will deliver unparalleled quality.

That is also true in the world of coaching. As a coach, you want to stand boldly in the promise that you can deliver real change to for your clients. Credentialing is a way to substantiate your credibility. When untrained or poorly trained coaches claim to deliver results, they actually become a big problem for the entire coaching industry. These untrained coaches throttle the growth of the coaching industry at large and threaten confidence in the profession.

Because of this, it is important for coaches to be credentialed by the ICF. Once you are credentialed, you will acquire the credibility to attract more clients.

Earning better and faster

It is true that credentialed coaches often earn better than non-credentialed coaches. After all, clients are more willing to spend their money and time on someone who is accredited. Like any industry that has different levels of certification, the better, more substantial the training, the more one can charge for their services.

Improving customer satisfaction

When you become a credentialed life coach, you will get more clients. Credentialed coaches get more high-quality referrals, too. In order to get credentialed by the ICF, you will learn coaching skills and competencies which you will immediately incorporate into your coaching. These skills will translate into powerful shifts for your clients, which will leave them coming back for more. You will be able to satisfy which will lead to ongoing referrals for your servies.

Strengthening your professional network

As previously mentioned, you will have to complete a fixed-hour training to become a credentialed coach. To undergo this training, you will have to sign up for a group mentor coaching program offered by an ICF certified mentor coach. During this training, you will interact with other coaches, sometimes from around the world. This will expand your abilities as well as your professional network.

But Where can you find the best mentor coach who can help you navigate the credentialing landscape with confidence?
