How Much Is Enough, or Navigating Coaching Training and Credentials

Like so many others, I’ve doubled-down on education in 2020. A global pandemic seemed like the perfect time to focus on my skills. Finish a co-active coaching certification? Check. Finish the ORSC training series? Check. It helped that most of the training that I wanted to do was now being offered virtually, meaning that I could bypass travel costs, and more importantly, I could continue to work as the training was oftentimes split into half-day sessions. I could do training in the morning and then see clients in the afternoon. Win win!

But this leads me to the question that I seem to be fielding quite a bit of these days is this: What training or certification do I need to be a coach? What is enough?
