"I'm very glad I decided to enroll in the ChBC™ program. Throughout the challenging and demanding tasks presented in the different modules, I was able to review my years as a business coach and in this way become more aware of and go deeper into the roots of my theory and practice as a coach. Putting together the ChBC™ portfolio is a very enriching learning methodology as the writing process helped me to improve many aspects of my interventions. Now I find myself sharing more deeply with my clients and other professionals which has powerfully impacted the way I work both as a consultant and a business coach. WABC and PDF have achieved a breakthrough development approach. Thanks to all who supported my journey."

"I chose the ChBC program for two reasons. First, WABC is an association that's dedicated to my field of practice, business coaching. Second, the ChBC is independently validated by a UK academic institution, Middlesex University. That means I can go on to complete a full master's degree and can leverage my investment of time, effort and money. The ChBC is a demanding, cutting-edge program, and WABC is leading the way in professional standards."

"I found the ChBC an excellent program for individuals like me who were leaders and teachers in the coaching field long before formal training programs emerged. The ChBC program opened the way for me to achieve appropriate academic and professional recognition. It also gave me the chance to consolidate my knowledge and revisit theoretical underpinnings in a rigorous and focused way."

"Earning the ChBC was an incredible experience. This challenging and rewarding program offered me many personal and professional benefits:

• A greater understanding of the core competencies of business coaching, and the clarity and focus required to apply them
• New insight into the role of business coaching and its relationship to other organizational development practices
• Broader and deeper coaching skills, and the know-how to apply them
• The confidence to promote myself through proven models, methods and tools that bring tangible business results

Having participated in other coaching development programs, I can say that the ChBC stands head and shoulders above the others in terms of competencies, professionalism, application and results. I highly recommend this program to anyone who seeks challenging professional development and is serious about taking their coaching practice to the next level."

"The ChBC certification process is a good opportunity to develop oneself as a coach. It taps into the deeper levels of learning and development, as the core learning is based on critical analysis, reflection on skills already in one’s repertoire and evaluating their impact on the coaching process. Having an experienced adviser was very useful in challenging my thinking and supporting me through the process."

"Completing the ChBC portfolio--especially thinking through which learning areas to pull forward out of what feels like a vast "undergrowth" of learning--made me see myself in sharper definition as a coach. Everything feels clearer, crisper and more organized. The ChBC track is a rigorous process that provides experienced coaches with a wonderful opportunity to pause and consolidate their learning."

"The ChBC program has taught me that I have the right skills and experience to facilitate change with either organizations or individuals. It has forced me to take a good look at where I stand now as a business coach and at how I got here. It has also clarified my path for the future. This is the best credential for professional, highly experienced business coaches who are passionate about our emerging profession and feel compelled to take it to the next level."
