3 reasons to get your PCC (Professional Certified Coach) with the ICF (International Coaching Federation) Here’s 3 good reasons to consider getting the PCC credential: 1. More marketable. You will become more marketable with a higher level credential. In fact, there are some coaching platforms and coaching organizations that require a PCC in order to work for them. You will better position yourself within the market with a PCC. 2. Professionally the PCC makes sense. Coaching is a big part of who you are and how you show up in the world so getting the Professional Certified Coach credential from the ICF makes sense for you and your coaching business. 3. Cost effective. When you get your PCC, you no longer have to do 10 mentorship sessions for each ICF renewal. Also, many students opt to go straight for the PCC as it means spending less money on multiple credential applications. Any other reasons you see to get your PCC? Share in the comments so we can learn with and from one another. And if you need to talk through your credentialing journey, happy to connect with you about it to support your next steps.

Yesterday, I attended the insightful webinar "The 3 A's of Coaching: Adjectives, Adverbs, and Absolutes". It was a powerful reminder of the idea that "words create worlds" (not my words, but Daniel Olexa, MCC, CIHt's) and how, as coaches, we can reach new levels of awareness by focusing on and exploring how clients qualify their reality and goals. One key takeaway for me was the immense power that words have. By paying attention to the qualifiers our clients use, we can open doors to deeper exploration. It struck me how sometimes clients can feel blocked when directly asked about their goals or issues. However, by probing into the why and what for behind the adjectives, adverbs, and absolutes they use, we can bypass their defenses and help them access insights they might not have reached otherwise. This webinar resonated with me not only as a coach but also as a translator. The power of words has always fascinated me, and this session reinforced how crucial language is in our work! A big thank you to Daniel Olexa, MCC, CIHt, Heike Aiello and ICF Germany Charter Chapter e.V. for organizing and delivering such a valuable session. It was truly enlightening and it felt very short! (Now I am going to count how many qualifiers I have just used 😂 )

One crucial element of the #coachingapproach is the Expertise of Not Knowing. It is a concept highlighted by Buchinger (1998) that states that the #coach should not be seduced by the expectation of knowing the solution or working on quick solutions. Instead, they should consider #uncertainty as an integral part of the solution process. This approach can serve as a model for the client, relieving them of the need to know everything and helping them navigate complex situations without the pressure of having all the answers, fostering a more open and explorative problem-solving environment.

Nonviolent Communication and Empathy + NVC for Coaches Starts July 10   In my last message I talked about the role of self-empathy in Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and coaching. Today I’d like to focus on the role empathy towards others plays and why it is so important in facilitating interpersonal communication.   Empathy is a word that gets thrown around a lot these days. As human beings, nearly all of us are born with the ability to empathize; however, many of us lose touch with this part of ourselves for various reasons. It may have been discouraged in our family of origin, we may have suppressed it due to trauma, school or work may have stifled it, or life seems to have just drained it out of us…   Learning to (re)connect to empathy is a vital part of Nonviolent Communication because, in so doing, we lessen the capacity for violent speech or actions. I’ll talk more about “violent speech” in an upcoming message, but for today’s topic, let’s think of it as the way words can hurt directly or indirectly and how the way we phrase things can lead to defensiveness, inability to receive a message, and a breakdown in communication.   In NVC, a main goal is the ability to both give and receive empathy. It is through empathetic listening that we are able to get past assumptions, evaluations, and judgments about what the other person is saying or doing and instead focus on what needs the person is trying to have met. Once we connect with needs, whether or not we share them, we are able to empathize with where the person is coming from and form the basis for productive dialogue.   From the coach’s perspective, empathetic listening is valuable in that it helps ensure we aren’t going into a session with preconceived notions or biases. That we aren’t making assumptions about their familial or cultural backgrounds, for example. It is a key component to inclusiveness. It also ensures that we’re listening for their needs, which helps us to formulate our questions and home in on the issue.    From the client’s perspective, empathetic listening ensures you are receiving the message the other person is intending to send. It helps reduce the likelihood that wires will get crossed and misunderstandings will occur. It also shows the other person that you are truly listening to them and not just thinking about what you want to say next.   In NVC for Coaches we’ll delve into the concept of empathy along with other foundational concepts of Nonviolent Communication in a coach specific context by always framing it in a way that is useful to us, as coaches, and our clients.   If you’re interested in high quality professional/personal development and/or continuing education and want to learn in a supportive, fun, and small group environment with plenty of opportunities to engage with the tools, then join us starting July 10!   If you have questions, DM me or write a comment. https://lnkd.in/geHUN6JG

The focus was on "Measuring Success: Evidence-Based Coaching with Psychometrics." Andrew delved into Ezra's approach towards systemic and measurable behavioral change for leaders, while Saba shed light on the significance of using the 360 leadership tool. Jean, drawing from her vast HR & OD experience, shared valuable insights from her experience on the use of various psychometric assessment tools. Andrew assisted us in establishing a framework for utilizing the assessment tool to bridge gaps for leaders and executives, guiding them from their current positions to their desired destinations. Saba's thought-provoking query prompted us to ponder on the purpose behind utilizing psychometric tools. How can we empower leaders to leverage these insights in meaningful dialogues, fostering growth and aligning with organizational objectives? Jean's wisdom resonated with the importance of using psychometric tools judiciously to avoid constraining individuals. It's crucial to unlock their potential and facilitate self-realization. As coaches, our role extends to bridging conversations with coachees through effective utilization of coaching tools. Providing a safe space for self-reflection and expanding perspectives is paramount for individuals to realize their full potential. Welcome thoughts … "How do you see psychometrics shaping the future of leadership development and coaching in your industry?" Also special credit to amazing co-partner Han Ee L. in creating impactful session. Grateful our ambassador Steven Koh and IAL AEN team for your selfless support in our SIG Coaching sessions. #LeadershipDevelopment #Coaching #SelfReflection #Psychometrics #PersonalGrowth

https://lnkd.in/depmz347 How to find the first paying clients?  How to start marketing your Coaching Business? Many coaches seem to believe that the moment they get their coaching diploma, there will be a lot of potential clients ready to invest in coaching. Is growing a coaching business easy?  It definitely isn’t easy, but it may simpler than you think, especially if you avoid making some of the key mistakes so many other coaches make.  One of those mistakes is promoting your coaching business before you: -              Have identified your niche, not just a category or industry, but ONE specific problem you help your clients to solve  -              Know exactly who your Ideal Coaching Client is  -              Create an offer, not a typical “coaching offer”, but a powerful or irresistible offer that shows your potential client how they’ll benefit of they invest in your program  -              Have your simple “Expert” Coaching Website ready Only then will your marketing efforts be focused and effective!

In the professional world, we often focus on metrics like ROI, market share, and growth. But what if there's a higher metric we're being measured by? Consider this ancient wisdom: "For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him" (2 Chronicles 16:9 NKJV). As Gen X leaders, we're uniquely positioned at this moment of great wealth transfer and influence shift. The question isn't about our capability - it's about our loyalty to principles greater than profit. In our professional context, this loyalty calls us to: Lead with Integrity: Aligning our business practices with our values, even when challenging. Innovate with Purpose: Developing solutions that address real-world problems and benefit society. Mentor the Next Generation: Sharing our knowledge to empower emerging leaders. Leverage Resources Wisely: Using our influence to create opportunities for others. Embrace Sustainable Practices: Ensuring our success doesn't come at the cost of tomorrow. Gen X, as the eyes of the world searches for leaders of integrity, will they find us faithful? Let's be the generation known for our loyalty to purpose over profit, impact over income, and legacy over short-term gains. The world needs leaders committed to a higher calling. Will we answer? #LoyalLeadership #GenXImpact #IntegrityInBusiness #PurposeDrivenSuccess

In coaching journeys, self-assessment tools have become virtually indispensable. But what if you are (or aspire to be) a nondual coach? Does it still make sense to use such tools? This raises the thought-provoking question of who, exactly, is doing the assessing. Interestingly, we've found that self-assessment tools can hold significant value in coaching, even for nondual coaches. Kat and I have found the NETI questionnaire particularly insightful. This tool, based on the work of John Astin & David A. Butlein, has been modified by us to be more accessible. Curious about where you stand in your understanding of nonduality? We invite you to fill in our adapted NETI questionnaire (takes about 4 min) to get a rough estimate. Link in comments.

It was a pleasure to have Oliver Kannapin, Lead Consultant in FranklinCovey DACH and co-author of best-seller "The 4 Effective Leadership Strategies" in German, join me on The Nature of Leadership podcast. Below is one of many valuable insights that came out of our conversation around the influence of leadership, with a focus on the connection between strength of character as a leader, and high-trust, effective teams. I'll ask you the same question I asked Oliver: What's emerging about the nature of leadership that you think we should all take notice of? https://lnkd.in/eFffnW26

How to #lead now... 16 experiences how to lead in change. Today #4: IT'S IN YOUR HEAD. ...based on my virtual keynote (GERMAN language) from June 27, 2024 at the Leadership Digital Summit. English transcript: If I can take a penalty like Lewandowski or Modric did a few days ago, then I have two options. First of all, I'll say that I'm probably really nervous because everyone is watching. But at the same time, I've been chosen to take the shot. That means a certain expectation, appreciation, but of course huge pressure. Now it mainly happens in the head and you can see it like this: man, that's a huge goal, I can shoot from the bottom left, top right and so on. I see a huge opportunity or I see a problem because the guy is there, dancing around it, looking at me strangely, so I always see these barriers and the same applies to change. You focus on these opportunities or on the barriers. You can't ignore one or the other, but this basic attitude is important because it transfers to the team, to the thing itself and so on. So I always try to see it positively, with respect for the negative.
