What's New
Why A Coach?
As the current marketing director for ICF-Chicago, I see my role as one that promotes the profession of coaching both to the marketplace, and to coaches themselves. In all professions there are “opportunities” for discouragement and hard questions. My own business was greatly impacted by the onset of COVID19, and I suspect other coaching practices were as well. Whether you are a new or seasoned coach, you may have had times when you asked, “Now, why did I become a coach?” Today there are also unprecedented numbers of individuals and businesses grappling with their “Whys”. Coaches are uniquely qualified to bridge the gap between “why” and “next.” The purpose of the #whyacoach campaign is to remind coaches, businesses and individuals why a coach could be the answer to their most pressing concerns.
I invite you to share your story of why you became a coach as part of this campaign in your social media, and on the ICF-Chicago FB Group using the hashtag #whyacoach. Let’s answer the question of why a coach is essential now more than ever.
