Practice to Presence is more than a program—it’s a transformational journey designed to support you in achieving your ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) accreditation. With over 25 years of coaching experience, I’ve had the privilege of empowering coaches to develop their core competencies, cultivate professional presence, and grow into confident, impactful practitioners.
This program is for coaches who are ready to do more than meet minimum requirements—it’s for those who want to anchor their coaching in purpose, presence, and professionalism. Through personalized mentor coaching, intuitive guidance, and thoughtful feedback, we’ll strengthen your skills and deepen your coaching identity.
Together, we’ll explore the key distinctions of PCC-level coaching, refine what already works, and expand your capacity to hold space, listen actively, and evoke insight with intention.
