Kristen Dieffenbach, PhD, the President of the US Center for Coaching Excellence (USCCE), joined me to discuss the state of the USCCE, good things happening in coaching education, and what we as coach developers can do going forward.

The USCCE is partnering with many organizations including the International Council for Coaching Excellence (ICCE) to offer the ICCE Coach Developers Academy here in the U.S. The USCCE is working with a publisher on a book series on coaching; if you are interested in writing a book, please visit the USCCE website for more information. Kristen talked about the free Raise the Bar program that allows organizations to commit to provide quality coaching.

We moved into some of the good things happening in coaching education amid all the not so good news about bad coaching behavior. We discuss Project Play and the Knight Commission as well.

We wrapped up with what we can be doing better moving forward.

Of course, all are invited to attend the USCCE Coach Developer Summit in Colorado Springs, CO June 17-19, 2019. If you are interested in being part of the ICCE Academy you can apply for that as well. The ICCE/USCCE Academy will be held June 14-16, 2019 in Colorado Springs.
