Anyone can call themselves a coach today – they can just slap “Coach” on their bio, and that's all.

But becoming a credentialed coach takes a significantly bigger effort. If you want to be recognized as a true professional instead of being seen as a hobbyist, the best way is to earn an International Coach Federation (ICF) credential.

And that’s where the problem lies – many people who want to become credentialed coaches don’t know what it takes to achieve that.

In this episode, Liv demystifies the process of becoming an ICF credentialed coach. She breaks down the necessary steps and requirements to achieve this professional certification.

The credentialing process isn’t flashy. It’s not something you can shortcut. It’s intentional. It’s structured. And yes, it takes commitment.

But once you have that ICF credential, doors open. Clients trust you. Companies want to hire you. Your business starts to feel legitimate because it is legitimate.

So, what does it actually take to become an ICF-credentialed coach?

Tune in now to learn what it really takes!

• Intro (00:00)
• What is ICF credentialing? (03:01)
• The steps to earn your ICF credential (10:07)
