Competency No. 5
Around 4% of the 55,000 + coaches certified with the International Coaching Federation hold the revered status of Master Certified Coach. Why so few? I'm about to find out. Competency No. 5, the podcast, explores how we maintain presence when we coach, lead, and live our lives. We interview coaches and others whose very livelihood depends upon staying calm and present with those they serve. We also chronicle my attempts (as a self-retired professor and global business reporter from New Zealand) to become an MCC coach. This effort requires beaucoup coaching hours, mentoring, and adhering strictly to the ICF's seven core competencies, especially the deceptively tricky Competency No. 5, maintaining presence.

“Yoga helps us notice our feet have toes.” Yasna Garcia Da Rosa on certifying as a yoga instructor
If you’ve practiced yoga, you know: This ancient practice stills our busy mind and grounds us in our bodies while building stamina and strength. Yasna García da Rosa ACC (Associate Certified Coach) por ICF knows this shift well, especially from taking her love for yoga all the way to the top by certifying ( this quarter) as an instructor.
Yasna shares the intricacies of certifying as an instructor of yoga (very tricky, very contemplative) and how her otherwise very busy life in Uruguay has changed in positive ways since. (Hint: Her friends, colleagues, and family—everybody—have noticed she’s “slowed down.“) Yasna! Loved our time together. Thanks again for reminding me of the power of yoga— and self improvement. And congratulations again on certifying as a yoga instructor— such an excellent addition to your skills and offerings as a coach. El mundo es mejor y mas tranquilo contigo dentro.
