Continuing Professional Development

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is an important aspect of professional coaching and is integral to the embodiment of a coaching mindset. This chapter looks at how CPD is defined as well as the many benefits it offers to coaches, not just in terms of their professional growth and development, but also its positive impact on the development of their coaching business and practice as a whole. We also outline the International Coaching Federation’s (ICF) stance and requirements regarding CPD for coaches to maintain and renew their ICF Credential.
