Becoming a Maestro in the Coaching Profession
Becoming a Maestro in the Coaching Profession
Let's think about the creators whose works of unique aesthetic and intellectual depth make us feel completely fascinated. For instance; Frédéric Chopin, Johann Sebastian Bach, Sergei Rahmaninov, Johannes Brahms, Ludwig Van Beethoven, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Franz Schubert…
These are the names of conductors who have composed famous ballet music such as Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker, wonderful symphonies including the famous Unfinished Symphony, many chamber music, and operas...
They are the artists who dance with many instruments such as violin, piano, cello, guitar…
Their dance transmits every emotion from their compositions to the instruments, and from there to the listeners, so that we cheer up, get sad, laugh and cry with the instruments coming to life.
Now imagine being able to use all the instruments, touch emotions with the sound of each note, play each instrument properly and create compositions with the melodies arising from it.
You are the maestro of an orchestra where your compositions are performed and you enchant those who listen to you under the influence of feelings flowing from the rhythm of the music. You throw a perfect musical feast with compositions one more effective than the other.
All listeners who hear the sound of your music continue their life in harmony with the composition of their souls. You are proud of the professional success you have achieved with harmony, symmetry, and ease along with the satisfaction with what you yourself have experienced and made others experience as well.?In this process of passionate commitment to your work, you continue to create your compositions with joy and pleasure.
You also have effective rehearsals and work with many artists who are famous in their fields. Moving forward with successful, experienced conductors in the world improves you on the stage. Being able to create powerful rhythms with each instrument gives you immense power. The applause you get on stage is the most special appreciation of your work and success. Along with the congratulations and celebrations that follow, the audience shouts your name. You receive your plaque with the zest you feel in your soul and the spotlights flash color by color.
At that point, you think of the whole journey of success before you got to this point. You remember your determination to set out on this path, the musical training, the first steps you take, the first contact with each instrument, the people who help you learn and improve over time and the ones who prepare you for this path, the obstacles you face and how you overcome them, the composers that allow you to see what you can do better, how you work enthusiastically with the awareness you have discovered and as you climb the ladder of success, you think of those who faithfully walked with you, but most importantly, you think of yourself who moves on this path steadily.
As you shine under the lights being applauded in your most stylish outfit, the media with all of their cameramen and reporters is there to interview you, a world-renowned composer. While you are experiencing these emotions of the process of success, suddenly the microphones are handed to you. What would you like to tell them?

You want to be a coach everyone mentions with success and wants to work together, who has achieved their goals and supports those around them in recreating their lives and helping them reach their goals. Thus, you decided to move forward with ICF, the pioneer organization in this field.
The ICF professional credentialing process is a process where you develop your coaching skills depending on the credential you aim for, work with an experienced professional coach about your coaching performance, strengthen your competencies with the feedback you receive, and make progress with professional help through practices that enhance your awareness.
