The coaching industry has exploded in the last decade. This is both a good thing, and a bad thing, in my opinion. A good thing, because our world could certainly use more of a coaching-based approach. A bad thing, because the word "coaching" is often used very loosely —often without training, credentials, or (importantly) a foundation of what it means to uphold standards and ethics in this field. One thing I really like about this new coach training and certification program from Trio Coaching Academy is that it a) is based on ICF core competencies, and b) clearly states the models and frameworks that it is built on. The current pricing is a steal. For anyone considering a coach training/certification program, you may enjoy checking this one out, and/or connecting with Chelsea Seid or Dawn DeFrancesco, PhD, PCC to learn more.

Differences in the ICF ACC & PCC Credentials: The Evolution of Coaching Mastery -- Is it Time to Level Up? 🧠✨ The jump from ACC (Associate Certified Coach) to PCC (Professional Certified Coach) is often measured in HOURS—but the true shift is in DEPTH. While the ACC builds the essential neural tracks for coaching agency, clarity, confidence, and action, we view the PCC as deepening the coach's skill in recognizing clients' mental models and organizational patterns that can drive (or derail) high-level performance and sustainable change. The Academies Neuroscience Difference: Beyond the Certification 🎓 At The Academies, we don’t just teach you the ICF Core Competencies; we provide a specialized lens that sets our coaches apart in a crowded market. Here is how we support your evolution: 1. Neuroscience Specialization 🧠 We bridge the gap between theory and biology. Our coaches-in-training learn how to facilitate neuroplasticity, helping clients move past limbic loops and into whole-brain, sustained behavioral change. For 15+ years, we've specialized in neuro-informed instruction, teaching you the why behind the what. At the ACC level, we teach coaches how to activate the prefrontal cortex (PFC) for agency, clarity, confidence, and action. And at the PCC level, you’ll finesse foundational skills for a greater sense of shifts in the client’s nervous system, mental models, and behavioral patterns for growth and transformation. 2. Systems Psychodynamic Support 🔄 Organizations are living organisms. Our approach prepares you to see the invisible dynamics—the hidden anxieties, tensions, power structures, and defensive patterns that often stall progress. You won't just coach a person; you'll coach a person within their systems. At the ACC level, you’ll become aware of how to support clients to manage their immediate professional and personal environments. And at the PCC level, you’ll incorporate systems thinking to be curious about potential projections, systems defenses, and the client’s role in the larger whole. 3. Psychological Scaffolding 🏗️ We begin with the end in mind. In both our Level 1 and Level 2 pathways, we emphasize coaching the “WHO” (and not just the “WHAT”). This equips you from Day 1 of training to be of value–not just to your coaching clients, but to all of the people you interact with in your professional and personal lives… and most importantly, to yourself and your work/life success. ⁇ Is 2026 the year to evolve your coaching practice? Whether you are targeting your first 100 hours or moving to 500, we have the specialized path to get you there.
