As the first-ever chartered status for business coaching professionals, Chartered Business Coach® is the industry’s most coveted credential designed exclusively for elite business coaches.
WABC offers four evidence-based credential levels that are designed to meet the diverse needs of practicing business coaches. Chartered Business Coach® (ChBC®) is WABC’s fourth and highest level, held by business coaches all over the world.
Business coaches holding the ChBC are expected to possess specialized knowledge and professional competence in order to demonstrate their mastery of the WABC business coaching competencies and their application of a range of business coaching initiatives and activities across a wide diversity of contexts, the outcomes of which may be unpredictable.
Furthermore, business coaches at this highest level of professional practice are expected to exercise substantial personal autonomy along with their significant influence, leadership and contribution within their organization, the profession or academic settings.
The WABC Business Coaching Competencies is the first-ever list of global, association-sponsored evidence-based professional competencies that define business coaching as a distinct discipline. These are applied at the appropriate level to all WABC credentials (RCC™, CBC™, CMBC® and ChBC®) and to all WABC Accredited® marks (program accreditation available at four levels).
The WABC Code of Business Coaching Ethics and Integrity embodies the highest ethical standards and is one of the most advanced and comprehensive codes of its kind in the world. It includes our Principles and our Safe Harbor Conciliation and Adjudication Process. All WABC members and WABC Accredited program providers adhere to this code.
As the industry leader since 1997, the Worldwide Association of Business Coaches (WABC) drives business coaching excellence with robust, evidence-based practices.
We support leaders, coaches, clients and companies with the knowledge, skills and resources to successfully navigate complexity and improve individual and operational performance alike.
