The path to becoming an ICF credentialed coach can feel confusing: different levels, different requirements, different acronyms. It’s easy to wonder: Where do I even start?
That’s exactly why we created this quarterly session. If you are interested in what it takes to become credentialed at ACC, PCC, or MCC level this group is for you!
June's Forum focus is "The Coaching Journey: ACC ? PCC ? MCC"
What changes along the way? What do you learn? What surprises you?
Join us for an open conversation with Katie Drescher, MCC, as we explore her path through the ICF credentialing journey — from ACC to PCC to MCC.
Together, we’ll discuss:
• Lessons learned at each stage of development
• How coaching presence and perspective evolve over time
• Challenges, growth moments, and unexpected insights
• Advice for coaches considering their next credentialing step
• What it really means to grow as a coach beyond simply earning a credential
This will not be a formal presentation, but an authentic and interactive conversation with space for questions, reflections, and discussion from the community throughout the session.
Next Quarter: Exploring Changes To The Credentialing Path
As a preview of what’s ahead, next quarter we'll be exploring upcoming ICF credentialing and education changes, with a deeper conversation on those updates planned. To learn more check out this page on the ICF site.
