It is also important to note that while many areas of coaching may be open to self-styled practitioners without certification, it is crucial to understand the importance of coaches knowing their craft. The following key points help suggest areas where certification offers commitment, knowledge, and understanding.
• Being transparent about your qualifications and experience.
• Focus first and foremost on your area of expertise.
• Always continue your learning and professional development.
• Avoid making claims of expertise in areas where you lack experience.
• Always refer clients to qualified professionals when necessary.
• Uphold ethical standards of professional conduct.
• Practice your coaching business with integrity.
