A message from Barbra Sundquist, Mentor Coach and
former IAC Certifying Examiner...
Dear Coach,
Do you know the
#1 problem facing people who want to get their coach certification?
It’s having no idea how
their coaching stacks up against the certification standards. You may have
hundreds of hours of coach training, a burning desire to help others, and a
sincere desire to be a truly masterful coach.
But you’ve heard horror
stories about how only 25% of people actually pass the IAC
certification exam on their first try. And you really have no idea what to
do to make sure that you are not among that statistic.
Here's what one BACC graduate says about how
BACC helped her get the confidence and skills to pass the IAC certification
exam:
What
I really enjoyed in working with Barbra during my time in the BACC program
was her light heartedness and capacity to recognize the perfection in every
situation. She had a propensity to design simple yet highly effective tools
to make complex and nebulous information easy to understand. My coaching
went to a different level after studying with Barbra for only 6 months, and
for that I am very grateful. ~Maura da Cruz, IAC-CC
After all, it’s
time-consuming and expensive to send in your application. You need to
find clients or practice clients who are willing to be recorded (often
the hardest part), figure out how to actually record and retrieve the
coaching sessions, agonize over which ones to select, get the permission
forms signed and figure out where to send everything.
And then there’s the
waiting for results -- the thought of failing is so demoralizing.
No wonder you’ve been
procrastinating on this!
You need a simple,
straightforward way to get the training and assessment you need to be
confident that you will pass the IAC exam. And an expert guide to help you
through the process.
I understand. And that's why I've designed the
Become A Certified Coach (BACC)
membership site. It gives you the access to everything you need to get
your certification - high quality mentoring, practice, feedback, support and structure -
all for a very low monthly fee.
Barbara
takes the mystery out of high-proficiency coaching while never compromising
its true depth. She is clear and honest, supportive and direct. Like all
great teachers, she hones in on each student's strengths and finds ways of
making the most of any limitations. We were able to take the exams with
realistic appraisal of the challenge and confidence in our own abilities.
Barbra educates for the finest in coaching.
~Susan Reimer-Torn, IAC-CC

Who is the membership for?
BACC is for
people who are serious about getting IAC certified...and want a simplified,
flexible and affordable option. All you need is an Internet connection and a
telephone.
Barbra,
I wanted to tell you how much I'm enjoying your BACC program! I listened to
the call yesterday and I'm listening to all the recorded materials. I
especially appreciated your critiques of the sample calls, especially when
you give a range of ratings. I've been struggling with how to score my
sample tapes. You are so supportive and positive! An inspiration!
~Patricia Robinson, MS, MA, MFT
What will BACC membership do for you?
BACC will help you:
•
Develop your skills (by getting enough practice and informed
feedback)
•
Know what standard is required to pass certification
•
Handle the technology of recording coaching calls
•
Decide which sessions are "good enough" to submit
•
Enjoy working with other coaches
•
Have the confidence to go for it!
I've
designed the membership site to address all the points above, and make your
journey to Certified Coach as simple, organized and affordable as possible.
If you don't currently have any coaching clients - that's no problem. You
can coach and record fellow BACC participants and submit those recordings
for your certification. Many of the successful certified coaches featured on
this page did just that!
Ready to start? Here's a sampling of what you will enjoy right
away:
• Nine
session audio course with transcripts
• Free recording of your coaching sessions
• Coaching Practicum teleclasses where you will practice coaching and get
feedback from Barbra (several days and times throughout the month)
• an in-class assessment by Barbra of what level you are currently coaching
at
• training on how to assess your coaching sessions using the IAC Coaching
Masteries™
(since the best way to know which coaching
sessions are "good enough" is to learn how to use the scoring system
yourself)
• Welcome class to get you oriented to the site
• Discussion forum and triad membership (so you have people to practice
coaching with)
• many helpful lessons, audios and articles to help you hone your coaching
skills
• A clear structure to keep you on track
It is with fond recollection and
immeasurable appreciation, I think of Barbra Sundquist and her BACC
classes. Barbra offered the ways and means for me to shore up my courage
and skills, to venture forth with confidence grounded upon understanding
what it took and what I needed still to improve, and to masterfully coach
others. This venue and her way of being was a gift.
