my next certification journey


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Hey Sisters-

?

Now that I have my SW cert finally accomplished, I¡¯m moving towards a more mainstream coaching certification.? It¡¯s through the International Coaching Federation (ICF).? Getting that cert will ultimately lead to a credential that can open doors to higher-paying coaching gigs (like corporate-flavored contracts).? (And, mostly I¡¯m doing it for my mental health.? I do better when I have a big picture goal.? It really helps my sense of purpose.)

?

Anyway- it is a performance-based certification, and part of that is to submit two recorded coaching sessions.

?

I¡¯m reaching out in case if you or anyone you know might be interested in some coaching.? And I¡¯m talking ¡°regular¡± ol¡¯ coaching¡­ NOT nearly as deep as Shadow Work? flavored coaching.? The topics to bring could be a huge variety of things like:

  • making plans,
  • goal-setting,
  • getting clarity on a situation at work or in a relationship,
  • improving something in life/becoming more effective,
  • gaining a skill,
  • very task or project specific stuff (moving, organizing, configuring a garden, etc.),
  • dealing w a conflict or overwhelm or busyness,
  • exploring something like a new venture or a new career or a new training, etc¡­.?
  • It could also just be a place to sort through challenges or to think out loud and get some reflection without opinion.

?

The recording can only be 20-40 mins, so it would be a relatively low time commitment for the ¡°coachee¡±.? ?Could be only one session or could be multiple sessions¡­ depending on what the person is wanting to accomplish.

?

I¡¯ve hired a mentor coach to support me through this process.? She¡¯ll be giving me feedback on the recorded sessions as to if I¡¯m meeting the ¡°marks¡± to pass the certification.? She suggested that I do as many recordings as possible because one or two of them might be golden, and it¡¯s better to have them recorded that miss ¡®em.? By the way, we can confidentialize them by doing a different name (Jill could be Wendy, for example).

?

Finally, I¡¯m offering this at no cost or on a donation-basis.? I benefit from the practice and having the recordings.?

?

Thank you for considering yourself or anyone you might know for this.

?

Love,

Gretchen

Hi Gretchen, good luck with this next step. I'd be happy to help as a volunteer only at the moment I have my hands full with my parents. Hope you are finding some people for this.
