    1.5 Resource Development CCEs

    Do you feel stagnant?

    Despite all your efforts—more certifications, countless pro bono hours, pitching yourself for podcasts, publishing on LinkedIn, and following every expert’s advice—your coaching practice isn’t thriving. You’re checking all the boxes, but the most important one—the ledger—still isn’t showing the right numbers.

    I’m not here to sell you another “secret strategy” or tell you to start talking to strangers or running expensive ads. You’ve probably heard it all before. My approach is different. 

    It’s affordable, simple, and almost free—and it’s video.

    Did you know:

    ·     Video can increase client retention by 54%?

    ·     Videos are 50x more likely to rank in Google’s top search results.

    ·     Including video in emails can boost open rates by 19%.

    ·     Clients are 82% more likely to purchase after watching a video.

    Did I get your attention? Join our hands-on workshop!

    WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

    ·     How to use video to boost your visibility

    ·     Create an engaging script in a minute

    ·     Use just three essential pieces of equipment

    ·     Simplify your editing and filming process

    CCE: 2.0 Core Competency


    Join us for this "giant think tank", discussing and delving deep into the whole arena of ethics in coaching as it relates to the current version of the ICF Code of Ethics and Core Competencies, updated in 2021. We will introduce important definitions and distinctions that influence one's perspective around ethics.

    As coaches, we shape the profession of coaching. How we conduct ourselves impacts how the public perceives the coaching industry. Through our experiential time together, using case studies and examples, we will equip you with tools to explore ethical concerns, including those that lack clear-cut answers. Our aim is that you come away from this program empowered to courageously find your way forward with curiosity and ethical integrity.


    Upon completion of this program, attendees will be able to:

    · Establish an individual and personal sense of professional ethical conduct.

    · Make distinctions between morals, values, and ethics and why that is professionally important in coaching.

    · Name key factors (the warning flags) and distinctions in the identification of potential professional ethical issues and how they impact the field of coaching and the public at large.

    · Respond to ethical issues with greater courage, confidence and clarity. Know where to get answers when needed.
