North Point Academy

Coaching is still an unregulated profession. That’s exactly why standards matter. ICF accreditation is not about badges or status. It’s about having a clear, externally validated benchmark for what competent, ethical coaching looks like.

For us, it does three things:
• It protects the profession through shared standards

• It builds real capability, not just confidence

• It deepens the learning through practice, mentoring and assessment

We chose ICF deliberately for its global framework, its rigour, and its emphasis on ethics and real development.

If you’re considering coach training, this is a good place to start.

CPC - Coach Training Certification | North Point A step-by-step, ICF-accredited certification that transforms purpose-driven individuals into confident, qualified coaches.

Today is World Mental Health Day, a reminder that mental health matters for everyone, including us as coaches!

So in our "Fireside" conversation in our Basecamp Coaching Community today, we focused our conversation around this topic about supporting clients with their wellness. (this video is not that conversation as we keep our conversations within the community confidential for us!)

And in our work, it’s vital to remember that when we are talking about mental wellness it isn’t just about helping clients; it’s also about prioritising our own well-being. As coaches, we need to practice self-care, seek support, and embrace our own vulnerabilities. When we take care of ourselves, we can better support those around us.

Let’s commit to being open about our mental health journeys and create safe spaces for others to do the same. Together, we can make a positive impact! 🌱💪

One of the safe spaces we have created for coaches to be able to get that support is Basecamp - and if you would like to join us there see the comments for the link.

In the meantime, I am sharing the one and only time we did a public Fireside during Mental Health Awareness Month in May 2023 because this is an important conversation:
