Frequently asked questions
Is a coach certification necessary?
YES! There are two critical reasons you need a coaching certification:
- You will be a more effective coach when you learn proper coaching skills and techniques - coaching is a skill you need to build.
- Certification provides the corporate credibility you need to build a financially successful coaching business.
Do I need to be in a coach certification program concurrently with this program, or should I become certified first?
Timing really comes down to your personal capacity and where you are in your journey. Our cohorts include people just starting their coaching certification, others deep in research mode, and some who've been certified for years but haven't launched yet. The key question is whether you have bandwidth for both learning to coach and building a business—because those are completely different skill sets that require focused attention. When you can dedicate time to both without feeling overwhelmed, that's your green light.
Does this work for folks who want to launch consulting and coaching?
Absolutely. A recent ICF study found that 93% of coaches offer additional services beyond one-on-one coaching, and there's good reason for that. Building a financially sustainable practice typically requires diversifying your offerings—think consulting, workshops, facilitation, or group programs. That's exactly why we focus on developing your complete Menu of Services during Corporate to Coach™. Whether your leadership background is in corporate, non-profit, government, or public sectors, this diversified approach helps you leverage your expertise in multiple ways while creating stronger revenue streams.
How often are cohorts offered and when is the next cohort?
We typically run five cohorts throughout the year—January, March, May, August, and October—so you can find timing that works with your schedule. Investing in yourself during uncertain times is actually one of the smartest risk-reduction strategies you can make. Rather than waiting for the "perfect moment," building new skills and career options gives you more control over your professional future.
