International Coach Federation, ICF, has conducted surveys about the challenges facing the coaching profession.\u00a0 Consistently a top cited challenge is untrained coaches and in conjunction with that the lack of general knowledge about how coaching works.<\/p>\n<p>Consider these examples of the abuse of the term coach:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The way coaching is portrayed in the media.<\/li>\n<li>The use of the term Coach because it is hot instead of because it is applicable such as for mentors or advisors in the work place.<\/li>\n<li>Newspaper advice columns that are titled with the term coaching because they have failed to research the real meaning of coaching.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What does that mean for the profession?\u00a0 It means that each coach is called upon to help educate the general public and also people who call themselves a coach without <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centerforcoachingcertification.com\/certified-professional-coach-training\/program-overview.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">coach training<\/a> or whose training is insufficient for them to join the ICF.<\/p>\n<p><a

news articles, and books the more people are educated.\u00a0 The more coaches ask questions about thoughts on the Code of Ethics, coach training, coaching competencies, and self-regulation of coaching the more awareness is created.\u00a0 Providing resources to the media by sending the Code of Ethics and the 11 Core Competencies (including the <a
