As a former athlete, coach and 25-year executive, I worked with high achievers and world-class teams to transform the way in which thousands of athletes, coaches and organizations prepare for and perform at the Olympic Games. For this, I was privileged and humbled to have received Her Majesty The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal and named 5-time recipient of Canada’s most influential women in sport and physical activity. That passion led me to the Worldwide Association of Business Coaches (WABC).
From my first touchpoint with the WABC website, to the phenomenal guidance of its Founder, Wendy Johnson, I knew that the WABC was a values-driven, services-focused organization with uncompromising quality of its accredited programs. I found an organization as dedicated to human performance excellence as I was.
The Registered Corporate Coach™ (RCC™) credential provided me with the confidence, knowledge, structure and evidence to guide and support my clients from various industries, from medical to management consulting to telecommunications. The learnings from the WABC Accredited® program were so valuable that I decided to also earn the WABC Certified Business Coach™ (CBC™) credential which has allowed me to support my clients even more extensively.
I could not be more thankful to Wendy and WABC for leading and raising the profile of business coaches around the world.
As an executive coach with C-suite focus, I was looking for a renowned certification that would help me to raise my profile. I decided on WABC as it’s one of the few accreditation organizations to focus solely on business and has global reach. On several occasions my WABC Certified Business Coach™ (CBC™) credential has helped me to pass the rigorous screening process of decision-makers seeking to hire a board-level coach.
I appreciated the process of re-certification after five years, as it helped me to seriously reflect on my past coaching experience and to systematically think ahead where to go next. The WABC assessor did a thorough and empathetic job that added a lot of value. WABC is really worth the investment.
Over the course of my career I have continued my education with numerous credential and professional licenses within the financial services industry, including with a Fortune 100 company. WABC is a rigorous association that keeps high standards on the same level as Investment and Wealth Institute, which offers the CIMA.
I appreciate the in-depth knowledge required to attain the WABC Certified Business Coach™ (CBC™) and the WABC Certified Master Business Coach® (CMBC®) credentials, as the WABC Accredited® programs that lead to these credentials are structured to develop participants into excellent business coaches. WABC’s exclusivity and high standards set the bar for meaningful credentials which can help others through coaching.
My credentials have been extremely rewarding to me and my career. The training and continued focus on business coaching has benefited the teams I have led and their overall success. With the processes and structure of coaching, I have helped individuals identify goals and action plans that help them accomplish more than they thought they could ever accomplish. Coaching has enabled me to communicate more effectively, enhance my recruiting and retention of top talent and increase overall engagement from my teams.
There are many associations that offer credentials for a few hour or weekend course and provide a certificate or credential. This “weekend designation” is detrimental to the industry, as clients may not be certain of the level of knowledge achieved. WABC does a great job on sharing the value, knowledge and overall worth of the credentials that so many great coaches have achieved.
WABC is the longest standing worldwide organization that focuses exclusively on business coaching. Other coaching associations bundle life coaching and business coaching together in a rather confused stew.
Business coaching is a unique and distinct offering, requiring specific competencies, ethical considerations and approaches. WABC has not only understood this from the start, but has built a framework of accreditation that recognizes those working in this way accordingly.
