Updated Professional Certified Coach Markers

admin

PCC Markers are the behaviors that should be exhibited in a coaching conversation at the Professional Certified Coach (PCC) level.

ICF released updated PCC Markers in October 2020. Please scroll down to the “Updated PCC Markers” heading to learn more and access the updated PCC Markers.

Current Markers
Assessment markers are the indicators that an assessor is trained to listen for to determine which ICF Core Competencies are in evidence in a recorded coaching conversation, and to what extent. These markers support a performance evaluation process that is fair, consistent, valid, reliable, repeatable, and defensible. Please note these markers are not a tool for coaching, and should not be used as a checklist or formula for passing the performance evaluation.

A Professional Certified Coach through the International Coach Federation (ICF), her love for mentoring and coaching soon blossomed into her signature leadership development model: Leadership, Ownership, and Accountability (LOA®).
As a young professional, who was once told that she was too young, too black, or not smart enough, Sophia has not only shattered glass ceilings; those ceilings have now become her floor.
