What qualifications do your coaches have?
All Center for Nonprofit Coaching coaches hold International Coaching Federation (ICF) credentials – ACC, PCC, or MCC. Most have 10+ years of professional coaching experience. They volunteer their time through the Center for Nonprofit Coaching to make executive coaching accessible to nonprofit leaders.
Is coaching the same as consulting or mentoring?
No. Coaching is a structured, goal-oriented partnership where your coach helps you develop the skills and strategies to lead more effectively. Unlike consulting, a coach does not tell you what to do. Unlike mentoring, the relationship is formally structured with specific development goals.
How long is a coaching engagement?
Each engagement includes 6 coaching sessions. Most clients complete their program within 3–6 months, depending on scheduling. Sessions are typically held virtually.
