Why Tony Robbins won’t get ICF accreditation?

Why Tony Robbins won’t get ICF accreditation?

Recently there was a post on the internet, ‘Why Tony Robbins won’t get ICF accreditation?’ Not sure what the intention of the writer was? To demean Tony Robbins or to say that accreditations bodies are good?  The writer got a lot of flak from Tony Robbins followers for dragging his name into coaching accreditation discussions.

The larger point is does someone like Tony Robbins even care whether he will get accreditation or not? He is the most influential personality when it comes to Self Help, Business Coaching, and Peak Performance Coaching. He has been able to make drastic changes by Coaching and Training people through his Coaching and Seminars. He had a clear focus in terms of what he wanted to achieve, what difference he wanted to make, and worked towards that with utmost focus, determination, and managed to achieve what he has.

But for someone who is thinking to become a coach, accreditation is an important question, as a new coach is not ‘Tony Robbins’, so they will have to think about accreditation, coaching methodology, and they are all valid thoughts and questions. Why Tony Robbins won’t get ICF accreditation? should not be your concern, because you must focus on better questions for yourself – How is ICF important, what ICF branding can get you, which is a good ICF Coach Program, how is ICF the gold standard of coaching, etc. 

People who generally are looking for coach certification programs have some of the following questions in their mind:

1)      Which Coaching course to attend?

2)      What is the difference between NLP Coach and other types of coaching courses?

3)      Why is the cost of some of the Coaching courses so high?

4)      Which Coaching course is better?

Below mentioned are few tips in terms of the answers to the above-mentioned questions.  Several Coaching methodologies are out there, you have to take a call based on what you want to get out of a particular coaching course: whether you want knowledge, whether you want a certificate, or whether you want accreditation, a particular kind of branding, and how much you are willing to spend in learning various coaching methodologies, getting certificates, etc. Attending a coaching course needs to tie back to your outcome, and based on that a person can take a call on what to go for, and that includes whether to go for top accreditations in terms of Coaching credentials.  Yes, ICF scores above the rest in terms of standard, and what they bring to the table for a new coach, and for other coaches who are into the business of coaching.  The most important word that comes out is – Trust 

NLP started off as an alternate powerful way than traditional methods or forms of Therapy.  Over a period of time NLP has been used in Sales Training, Sports Psychology, Leadership Trainings, and Executive/Life Coaching etc.

Why Tony Robbins won’t get ICF accreditation?  ~ Well, he is not applying anytime soon, so won’t get 🙂 

There are different methodologies that have been developed over a period of time by different people. Some coaching methodologies are easy to use as they are pre-defined scripts to coach. Some coaching methodologies take time and practice to learn like Conversational Coaching (Based on Milton Erickson’s Work, part of NLP) where a coach is working at an unconscious level to facilitate changes in a Coachee. Over a period of time, some other well know coaching methodologies came about like the GROW Model, which is widely used in Performance Coaching today.

How do you determine which is better than the other? GROW model and some other easy coaching methodology based on pre-defined scripts are effective when it comes to Performance Coaching. Some of these methodologies work best when supplemented with NLP, hence, NLP training has become very popular among Coaches who started off with easy models, however, to get better results they added NLP into their repertoire. NLP-based coaching has its own benefits. It is a rounded model which can be used to Coach a person facing any kind of coaching challenge/issue. NLP has a lot of tools, which when used effectively can provide a Coach with a powerful set to work with clients.

And if you are still wondering whether Why Tony Robbins won’t get ICF accreditation? 🙂 then leave that thought and focus on your own coach training, coaching experience, and how you can get better.
