Plot Twist! Turning Coaching Competencies into Coaching Clients

We often think of the ICF Core Competencies only in the context of how we show up for clients inside a coaching session. But what if the real plot twist is that these same competencies can help you grow and sustain your coaching business?

In this engaging and interactive session, Master Certified Coach Sophia Casey will guide coaches to flip the lens inward and explore how embodying the ICF Core Competencies strengthens credibility, visibility, and business success. From creating powerful agreements that shape client enrollment to practicing presence during discovery calls, coaches will discover practical ways to let the competencies fuel their confidence and their client pipeline.

Participants will walk away with fresh insight into how the competencies are not just a framework for coaching, but also a blueprint for building a thriving business.
