Judy Feld and Ginger Cockerham have been
offering groups for coaches since 1996, with hundreds of
coaches building successful coaching businesses and creating
thriving coaching groups as a result. These programs have been popular, efficient, fun and cost-effective.

We are ICF MCC coaches and coaching educators, with a passion for helping more coaches become ICF-certified. We see the need for a fast-track credentialing program and are collaborating to provide this program for coaches who are ready to take the next step to achieving credibility and stature in their coaching practice. If you plan to apply for your PCC or MCC credential we encourage you to join our fall group.

According to the ICF Global Coaching Study conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers, 52 percent of coaches report that their coaching clients expect the coach they hire to be credentialed. In this economy, it is important to eliminate all barriers for being hired as a coach. An increasing number of corporations and organizations require an ICF credential for their internal and external coaches.

If you have accumulated the coaching hours required (or are nearing that mark) this group will give you the opportunity to join with two MCC coaches and coaching peers in this fast-paced, substantive, practical group experience. It will give you the support to ensure that you will follow through on your credentialing quest with the tools and confidence you need to successfully complete this credentialing quest.
