International Coaching Federation:
How It Changed My Life (How It's Changing Yours Too)✨
My dear Shiny Mind, let me tell you something very close to my heart.
International Coaching Federation (ICF) changed my life — and it gave me the structure, the standards, and the global family that turned my passion into a profession.
What is the International Coaching Federation?
The ICF is the world’s leading organization for professional coaching, representing coaches across 165+ countries. Unlike medicine or law, coaching isn’t regulated. Anyone can call themselves a coach. That’s why the ICF exists: to create ethical guidelines, standards, and a clear definition of what real coaching is.
How It Changed My Life:
✨ In 2014, I was introduced to ICF by one of my NLP students who was already certified. That moment sparked a whole new journey for me.
✨ I applied for accreditation and fell in love with the ICF philosophy.
✨ Years later, I became an MCC (Master Certified Coach) — a credential that requires over 2,500 hours of coaching.
✨ During the pandemic, my ICF-accredited programs helped me pivot online, grow my Academy, and reach thousands of coaches worldwide.
Why It Matters for You:
Even if you’re not a coach, ICF is touching your life. Every time one of my certified coaches works with a client, their ripple effect reaches communities, families, and workplaces all over the globe.
The 8 Core Competencies of Coaching:
- Ethical practice
- Embodying a coaching mindset
- Establishing and maintaining agreements
- Cultivating trust and safety
- Maintaining presence
- Active listening
- Evoking awareness
- Facilitating client growth
These aren’t just “skills.” They’re human skills. And once you learn them, they transform how you show up in every relationship.
ICF gave me the platform to create The Academy of Neuro-Shine Technology™ Coaching.
It gave me credibility, global reach, and a sense of purpose that still fuels me today.
And through my Academy, it’s also changing your life — because coaching done right isn’t just about one person. It’s about raising consciousness for all of us.
✨ Listen to Episode 40 now and discover how ICF can change your life too.
Let’s create a world of conscious, heart-centered conversations that inspire freedom and connection.
