This group is designed to focus on a Core Competency and its associated PCC Markers as developed by our professional association, the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Beginning with Competency #1: Demonstrates Ethical Practice and ending with Core Competency #8: Facilitates Client Growth, we will take an in-depth look at a different competency each month.
