Still You, Still Qualified: How to Coach with Confidence Through the Credentialing Process
For many coaches, the path to credentialing raises an unspoken question: Can I meet the standards and still coach like myself?
In this session, Tiffany Dedeaux, MCC, draws from her lived experience of allowing her ACC credential to lapse, finding her way back to credentialing, and developing a sustainable approach to professional growth. Through that journey, she discovered how easily coaches can begin coaching with the assessor in the room, losing confidence in their own instincts, voice, and method.
Participants will explore how expectations, routines, coaching choices, note-taking practices, and the right support can shape a more grounded credentialing experience. This session invites coaches to build confidence in an approach that remains authentic, consistent, and aligned with ICF standards.
Each participant will receive 1.00 resource development credit for this event
