No. Upon completing Accelerate, you will NOT be credentialed with the ICF. Technically the term is “credentialed” instead of “ICF certified.” You will, however, have completed 7 hours of ICF accredited training, giving you 7 hours toward your ICF credential, if you choose to pursue that path. To become ICF credentialed requires additional training hours, a certain number of coaching hours, mentoring, performance evaluation, and passing an exam. Accelerate, more than anything, will level you up and teach you how to coach in a way that is transformative, AND it will help you get clients WITHOUT social media or becoming a techie. Accelerate is amazing!

Since you need 100 coaching hours to receive your ACC credential with the ICF, most importantly this program will help you find people to coach! Accelerate will teach you many different authentic ways to coach MORE people without doing a bunch of stuff you don’t want to do. The biggest challenge for life coaches is finding ways to actually start coaching. Countless coaches will agree. They will also agree that posting on social media or getting listed in online directories does not work. It might result in a paid client or two, but it’s not a sustainable business model. Our founder and leader, John Strasser, focuses a large part of the program on how to coach more and how to get through all the stories and limiting beliefs that keep coaches from coaching more. A lot of coaches don’t realize how hard they make it on themselves to find people to coach! We highly encourage you to give us a shot! And if this program does not literally blow you away in terms of value, full refund no questions asked. 

Completing this program will result in you receiving 7 hours of ICF “Coach-specific education,” which can be applied toward your ICF credential. To receive your ICF credential, you need a minimum of 60 hours of Coach-specific education, among other requirements, including experience (coaching hours), mentoring, performance evaluation, and passing an exam. So this program is a great start toward a professional credential, with a training focused on partnering with clients and showing up empty rather than full of advice. More importantly, in our view, the ICF accreditation this program holds means it’s an exceptional experience, and the program itself is valuable by introducing coaches to a way of coaching and building a business that really works.

No. This is not a certification program. Accelerate leads to your receiving an ICF accredited Certificate with the training hours on it, which is different from a certification. A professional life coaching certification requires a lot more training as well as mentoring and actual coaching hours. This program is a start to that, and more importantly, it's an opportunity for coaches to learn a ton, get a great Certificate, and move their business forward. It’s also a great opportunity to connect with other likeminded, heart-centered coaches. You will get SO MUCH from this! 

We’ve had thousands of coaches join or programs over the past 5+ years. And what we’ve learned is that earning your ICF credential is a wonderful accomplishment that requires great commitment. It feels really great once you’ve done it! At the same time, countless coaches in the world spend far too much time and energy on that one goal, when they could be focused on coaching. Having immense experience actually coaching people is what leads to a thriving coaching business, while having a great resume doesn’t. Just like having the perfect Facebook cover photo, coaching elevator pitch, or Instagram post doesn’t either. Our founder, John Strasser, always says, “The best marketing is becoming an incredible coach. Then you don’t have to do any marketing. Your business builds through referrals and word-of-mouth.” That’s part of what this program is about. We will get you coaching more, without you having to embarrass yourself or do anything you don’t want to do. John also says, “You can’t do what you don’t enjoy and experience good results.”  The entire coaching industry is filled with coaches spending their days doing everything else BUT coaching. Don’t be a coach that rarely coaches. Join us.
