PCC Marker Guide
PCC markers are the “signs” that show a coach is working at the Professional Certified Coach level, according to the International Coaching Federation (ICF). They’re observable behaviors that assessors listen for in a coaching conversation to check whether the coach is demonstrating the ICF Core Competencies at the right depth and consistency.
That’s why The Academies’ created the ICF PCC Marker Guide. It is an essential roadmap for coaching growth. Our team’s 25 years of experience in coaching education and ICF Award-Winning Coach Educator have created this proprietary guide that clearly brings the PCC Markers to life, translating theory into practice.
While focused on the advanced PCC markers, this guide is designed to accelerate your learning at both ACC and PCC levels, and set you up for greater value to your clients at any stage. Benefit from hundreds of examples and coaching insights to accurately apply the PCC Markers, deepen your presence, and coach with confidence. Build readiness to reach your next credentialing milestone!

Leading Alongside AI Assessment for Your Clients
AI is democratizing “smart,” giving everyone access to high-level data and analysis. But information is not wisdom.
As AI handles the “how,” leaders must double down on the why, the who, and the what next. Coaches are ESSENTIAL to support leaders as they navigate the ambiguity of this transition. Stop guessing and start assessing. Download the complete 25-question playbook and self-assessment for you or your clients: “Coaching Playbook for Blue Zone Leaders℠: Navigating the AI Shift.”
