"While creating my portfolio for WABC's Chartered Business Coach (ChBC) program, I learned that I still have a lot to learn. I am not the topic expert in the coaching arena or the consultant who can fix all things. I am the stick that stirs the drink of an individual's personal and business life, just enough that they get uncomfortable where they are and might want change.

My ChBC work has given me a wealth of understanding and appreciation for where I have been. By encouraging me to diagram my coaching model and reflect on how it influences my coaching results, the program has dramatically helped me and my clients to have the courage to change. My work on this credential has opened up more possibilities of directly fulfilling my personal mission: "to lead, teach and challenge others to go beyond what they believe they can do." For me, that learning alone has been worth the effort of seeking the ChBC."

"Putting together my portfolio for WABC's Chartered Business Coach (ChBC) program was an excellent experience, one that will help me as I strive to provide world-class global business coaching. The cutting-edge program challenged what I do, why I do it and how I do it—and gave me a solid platform for future improvement. This clarity elevated the quality and importance of my model of practice and will undoubtedly add value to my future coaching and my clients' return on investment. I truly endorse this professional credential and this extremely thorough learning process."
—Stephen Parker, Denmark/United Kingdom

"To deliver top-quality coaching and to add value for my clients, I am committed to developing and extending my performance potential through continuous learning. It is this quest for excellence that motivated me to take the ChBC program. Going through the program was an intense and invaluable experience that yielded plenty of learning, in-depth reflection and new ideas. There's no question that it has helped me take my coaching practice to the next level."
—Svenja Wachter, Germany

"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."
—Dr. Ernesto Olascoaga, Mexico

"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."
—Kate Lidbetter, United Kingdom

"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."
—Marc Kahn, South Africa

"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."
—Paul Fisher, United States

"I am delighted and proud to have achieved the ChBC designation. Earning this credential has certainly broadened my own base of knowledge and expertise. The ChBC certification crystallized my coaching processes and expanded my "tool box" of knowledge and expertise for implementation in my practice. I highly recommend this program for business coaches seeking to take their skills to the next level."
—Phyllis Campagna, United States

"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."
—Indrani Choudhury, United Kingdom

"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."
—Dr. Melinda Sinclair, Canada

"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."
