The Journey to 'Become a Coach' - Higher Consciousness
Subash CV, MCC
Executive Leadership Coach - ICF Coaching Education & Certification - Mentor Coach
For the above reasons, the journey to 'become a coach' is an arduous one.
The coach not only acquires professional skills to coach but also builds their professional practice (business of coaching, including personal branding to marketing). The coach commits to personal transformation, deep work, and continued learning. It is a lifelong commitment to all these.
The client experiences a transformational shift in themselves. To co-create that and partner with the clients, it is important that the coach is appreciative of the process, the shift, and the pace the client chooses.
There are no shortcuts. No one is a coach by accident. We evolve to become a coach.
All these make it a hero's journey for the aspiring coach too. It does not end once the coach completes the certification (with Regal Unlimited) or gets credentialed (with ICF). In fact, the journey shifts gears at each of these steps. It can be a roller coaster ride for the aspiring coach.
It is like multiple sprints within a marathon with multiple pitstops!

All of the above matter in your journey to "Becoming A Coach" and to take your coaching from unconscious incompetence to unconscious competence (#Doing2Being). Hence, it is about tapping into the higher consciousness.
After all, tapping into intuition, listening at all four levels, deep presence, building trust, and coaching presence, evoking new awareness are all ICF coaching competencies... and beyond!
It is NOT learning by rote, learning from online platforms, social media, books, or e-learning. It is adult learning, co-creating, discovering the coach already within, and developing your own style.
It is an inner calling to become a coach. You need a rock-solid support system to travel the arduous path.

1 年No one becomes a coach by accident. You're right. It is an intentional journey - you must want to be on it. It's an effortful journey - all that effortlessness takes a lot of effort to build up to. But most of all - it's a journey of discovery. And like any journey of discovery - you may or may not like what you find. But you only become a coach when you accept and love yourself for who you are. And that's what allows you to accept and love others for who they are - to be a Coach.
