In coaching and therapy, presence isn’t optional; it’s the foundation. At the Center for Advanced Life Skills, we teach practitioners to work from presence first. That means learning to respond in real time, adjust with clarity, and guide from grounded awareness. We integrate tools from NLP, mindfulness, subconscious coaching, and hypnotherapy into a model we call the Holistic Breakthrough Approach™. And we teach it in small groups, because the nuance of presence can’t be mass-produced. #holisticbreakthroughapproach #coaching #therapy #mindfulness #hypnotherapy

"Reading is not a substitute for coaching or therapy." While self-help books can offer valuable insights, they can't replace the personalized support that trained professionals provide. Coaching and therapy address your unique challenges, offering tailored guidance, accountability, and a safe space for growth. #MentalHealthMatters #ProfessionalGuidance #SelfImprovement

The coaching industry has exploded in the last decade. This is both a good thing, and a bad thing, in my opinion. A good thing, because our world could certainly use more of a coaching-based approach. A bad thing, because the word "coaching" is often used very loosely —often without training, credentials, or (importantly) a foundation of what it means to uphold standards and ethics in this field. One thing I really like about this new coach training and certification program from Trio Coaching Academy is that it a) is based on ICF core competencies, and b) clearly states the models and frameworks that it is built on. The current pricing is a steal. For anyone considering a coach training/certification program, you may enjoy checking this one out, and/or connecting with Chelsea Seid or Dawn DeFrancesco, PhD, PCC to learn more.

Creating a cohesive and coherent culture hinges on establishing robust systems and processes that guide leadership and operations. It is fascinating to see how similar actions can be interpreted in strikingly different ways across cultures, particularly as they are shaped by opposing emotions like fear and trust. In environments where fear dominates, decision-making tends to be cautious, often leading to a climate marked by competition and insecurity. Conversely, cultures rooted in trust foster an atmosphere of collaboration and openness, which encourages innovation and collective advancement. Such emotional landscapes can sometimes result in misunderstandings and conflicts, especially when individuals from diverse backgrounds engage with one another. To effectively bridge this cultural gap, we must emphasize empathy and awareness, cultivating dialogues aimed at understanding and appreciating these differences. By fostering an environment of trust instead of fear, we can build meaningful connections that reach beyond cultural divides. #CulturalSensitivity #Collaboration #LeadershipDevelopment

What if your clients are stuck not because they lack confidence, but because they haven't yet found the courage to choose? 🧠➡️💛 In this episode of Beyond the Page, Garry speaks with executive coach, educator, and ICF-PCC Jenn Chloupek, author of "A Framework for Choice: Coaching Through the ABCs of Empowering Conversations" in our latest issue. Jenn unpacks her proprietary ABC methodology - Awareness, Behaviors, and Connections - and explores why helping clients recognize they have a choice is one of the most quietly powerful things a coach can do. She also draws a sharp distinction between confidence and courage that will make you rethink the questions you're asking. Plus: how the framework maps directly onto ICF core competencies, and what it looks like in practice with 60 women engineers across three countries. The episode goes live Wednesday. You won't want to miss it.

"If" you are interested in coaching in the health care sector, tomorrow's overview of a new Healthcare Coach certification program through Hudson Institute may be for you. Healthcare is one of the most gratifying but demanding work sectors of our world. Without doubt, whether we actively use health care services/or will use those services-we all benefit from knowing that we can access those services if/when needed. And, we need to know that those services will meet our needs and be excellent enough to heal and take care of us. But who is helping our healers? Who is holding the space for them? Who cares enough to assist excellence --that is Everyone's goal. No one goes into healthcare to be become "wealthy" in the traditional sense of currency. Sure, "they" can do well-but the real currency of value is saving lives. Healing lives and repairing what is broken in body or mind or both. This coach certification program is so needed. So valuable. If you are curious-come join the conversation with Michael Hudson, Heather Brace (CPO-Intermountain Health) and Andy Ortiz ( SVP-Cedars-Sinai) leaders in Health Care. This is sure to be meaningful and exciting!

💭 Going through a credentialing checklist can feel overwhelming. Even coaches with years of experience can overlook the small stuff: proper check-ins, letting the client lead, active listening… These aren’t bureaucratic details—they’re how we show we’re professional, present, and trustworthy as coaches. The truth? ICF credentialing is less about perfection and more about presence, reflection, and consistency. You don’t need to get everything right the first time—you just need to keep showing up. Excited for the programs we’re preparing—tools, guidance, and mentorship to make this journey less lonely and more doable. Stay tuned #Coaching #ICF #ProfessionalDevelopment #MentorCoaching #CoachCommunity

Are you (or someone you know) facing an ICF PCC credential performance evaluation? My team and I have been assessing ICF performance evaluations since 2012, guiding leaders and coaches toward ACC, PCC, and MCC certification. So we've seen all the biggest mistakes, and worked to find simple ways to help. One of the biggest hurdles is the big leap from ACC to PCC. After more than a decade of listening to recorded coaching sessions, I’ve seen 4 simple shifts that make a real difference in passing PCC and set you up for MCC. If you or someone you know is preparing for PCC evaluations, these quick tips can help deepen your coaching sessions, which is exactly what ICF markers look for. When I worked toward my MCC, I remember how tough it was. Many coaches today feel the same overwhelm. It’s not you, the path really is challenging but also a worthy pursuit. That’s why I’m here: to make the process clearer and more supportive, so you can grow into the kind of coach you want to be. 👏

A good coaching question doesn't add information — it rearranges what the client already knows. Justina Vail Evans is one of the best in the business at finding those questions, and she shares one here that's worth keeping in your back pocket whether you coach others or get coached yourself.
