Once upon a time, I became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Owner of Ascend Consulting, Inc., providing Psychotherapy and Counseling.  Then one day, I had the honor of attending 3 days of Coach Training in Philadelphia with Thomas Leonard, the \u201cFather of Coaching\u201d.  It was fascinating to watch Thomas\u2019 compelling style of asking insightful, challenging questions to move clients to <\/span>act!  <\/em>to achieve their goals.  I enrolled in his coaching school \u201cCoachville,\u201d on the spot! <\/span><\/p>\n

During the next several years the ICF was growing and credentialing requirements were evolving. After taking over 265 hours of training and <\/em>meeting the additional requirements of 2 recorded sessions, a live coaching exam and over 250 coaching hours, I was certified by the ICF as an ACC (Associate Certified Coach) in 2007.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/em>Over the next several years my training continued and my coaching hours serving clients began to add up. In 2012, I was President of the ICF: Philadelphia Chapter.  In 2013, I achieved my PCC (Professional Certified Coach) designation<\/em> after mentor coaching continuing education and an exam that took 13 hours!<\/p>\n

Since then, I have become certified in the EQ-I and Hogan assessments, and graduated from Judith Glasser\u2019s Conversational Intelligence coach training.  I love this work which allows me to partner with my clients to expand their self-awareness, go deeper and wider than they thought they could, and to support them as they tap into their own answers.  I am a professional nudge, so they stay accountable to themselves and achieve their goals.<\/p>\n

The story continues as this year I will submit my 40+ hours of ICF: approved continuing education and renew my PCC.  And, I will continue in my 2 peer supervision groups so I can keep learning and honing my skills as an Executive and Career coach.  The requirements are rigorous and I am proud that they are!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,11],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ascendconsulting.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1670"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ascendconsulting.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ascendconsulting.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ascendconsulting.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ascendconsulting.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1670"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/ascendconsulting.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1670\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1698,"href":"https:\/\/ascendconsulting.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1670\/revisions\/1698"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ascendconsulting.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1670"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ascendconsulting.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1670"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ascendconsulting.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1670"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
