I did it. Again.
Today I received the renewal of my PCC — which requires continued learning, and demonstrating that your work keeps growing.
Three years ago it was a different story.
I had to pass a new exam completely redesigned by ICF.
I still remember how stressed I was that day — the preparation, doing something very few people had done before, while everyone was talking about the new rigorous standards.
I passed on my first attempt.
I found out later that some coaches took it two, three, four times before passing.
I'm not telling you this to impress you.
I'm telling you because of what I understood after:
Coaching rewards the people who can stay with not knowing. Who walk into a room without a map
and trust themselves to find the way through.
That's not something you learn in a training. It's what you build every time you choose to go deeper instead of staying safe.
Today the email arrived:
"Your PCC credential renewal has been examined and approved.
We applaud your commitment to the coaching profession."
Not a finish line.
Another beginning.
