The Home of Coaching Masteries

Our measure of coaching practice is the global standard for Masterful Coaching.

Part of what makes the IAC® different from other coaching organizations is the way we assess coaching mastery, and our belief that attending coach training or graduating from any specific program is not sufficient evidence that a coach can, in fact, coach.

The IAC® endorses the truth that becoming a coach is a transformative process, therefore it is only right that we honor prior training, education and life experience, and measure mastery via demonstration of skill.

"My journey to coaching began in 2006 at the height of my career as a Human Resources leader. I joined the IAC in 2007 and completed the certification in 2009. I have found that the IAC Coaching Masteries are foundationally the most critical competencies and skills needed to be an effective coach. The continued practice, evaluation and feedback process the IAC supports offers the aspiring certified coach the opportunity to eventually become unconsciously competent in using the Coaching Masteries."
