The Executive Coaches

Benchmark Consulting’s executive coaches are composed of experienced professional coaches and ICF-credentialed coaches with undeniable positive track records. They are recognized worldwide to have the following:

HIGHEST QUALIFICATION. An ICF coach education is a highly recognized qualification with credibility around the world. ICF-credentialed coaches demonstrate outstanding level of professional standards.

SEASONED COACHES. They were required to have 100-2,500 hours of coaching experience to be certified.

HIGHEST LEVEL OF COACHING COMPETENCE. Their coaching competence was evaluated by a globally recognized body of expert mentor coaches and they seriously take on-going professional development.

IMPECCABLE INTEGRITY. They abide by a strong Code of Ethics and ICF sanctions them if they violate these. In short, you are safer in their hands.

The International Coaching Federation (ICF) is the largest global organization of professional coaches with 20,000+ members in 110 countries. It is the leader in establishing both ethical standards and coaching competencies worldwide and awards the only globally recognized coaching qualification.

ICF is dedicated to advancing the coaching profession by setting high ethical standards, providing independent certification, and building a worldwide network of credentialed coaches. Coaching is a distinct service and differs greatly from therapy, consulting, mentoring, or training. ICF defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.
