From as far back as I can remember in my Professional Coaching career I have constantly reflected and asked myself:
From the very beginning at MRA, we had a clear ambition to differentiate ourselves, and to apply self-regulation. For us, self-regulation in an unregulated industry is critical. It not only means we continually raise our own standards and can confidently answer the questions posed above, but it also means that we feel a great sense of responsibility towards our clients to set the bar extremely high so we can deliver the very best that Coaching has to offer.
This ambition is the driving force behind our approach at MRA for how we select, train, supervise and continually develop our Professional team of Executive Coaches: https://www.matthewradley.co.uk/meet-the-team
Our stringent Professional Standards apply to our whole team. All MRA coaches must have the following:
This is a big ask both in terms of time and financial commitment in order to achieve these standards. However it is an ask we will continue to make, and in doing so demonstrates our Coaches’ passion for not only professionalising themselves but also the Coaching industry. At MRA, we are proud to make this the minimum requirements for our Associate Coaches.
So ask yourself, what standards do you look for when choosing a Coach to work with? What Is the impact of accepting anything less? Giving you confidence in your selection is of vital importance to us, so please go ahead and ask our coaches whatever you like in terms of how we work to ‘professionalise the profession’ every day.
And if you believe we should be doing even more, challenge us – we’re up for it!
