Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Did you know that there is an ethically wrong way to coach?
In this episode, I’m joined by my mentor Dez Stephens to talk about why I decided to get certified and why you might want to too.
We’re talking about ethical coaching, the difference between certification and credentialing, and what changes to expect in the coaching industry in the next five years.
Dez Stephens is the Founder and CEO of Radiant Coaches Academy, a prominent international coach training school that certifies holistic life coaches, wellness coaches, and business coaches. She is a certified and credentialed coach, master trainer, and marketing strategist.
Topics covered in this episode include:
- How to ask your clients open questions
- Problems that exist in the coaching world
- How to bring your personality to your business in an ethical way
- The difference between certification and credentialing
Ethical coaching is a priority to me, which is why I chose to get certified, and I hope you’ll consider it too after listening to this episode.
