Coaches' preconceived notions can impede their ability to provide unbiased support to clients. Such biases, derived from previous experiences, may influence their perception of clients' circumstances, diminish empathetic engagement, and create obstacles to personal development. Our coaches recognize the impact of biases on their work and consistently monitor and manage these presumptions. Adhering to the International Coaching Federation (ICF) Core Competency standards, they practice active listening, employ powerful questioning techniques, and maintain a sense of curiosity.

Additionally, they must hold licensure in relevant assessment tools.
