Coach Talk creates space for thoughtful, candid conversations about the practice and future of professional coaching.
One of the most common questions among new and experienced coaches is: Do I need a coaching certification?
There is no single answer. The value of certification depends on your professional goals, the clients and organizations you hope to serve, your existing experience, and the type of coaching practice you want to build.
With countless coaching certification programs, professional credentials, training models, price points, and competing philosophies available, it can be difficult to know where to begin—or whether certification is the right next step at all.
In this Coach Talk session, experienced coaches Peggy Jablonski, PCC, and Peter Anderson, PCC, will lead an honest conversation about coaching credentials, certification pathways, and ongoing professional development. Together, they will explore what certification can offer, where its limitations lie, and what coaches should consider before investing their time and money.
