I've spent close to 10 years doing one-to-one work, and last Friday, I got my PCC.
I still remember that I was stressing over the exam the day before: studying the ethics and core competencies, doing sample questions for practice (seriously, who does that?). When I got my results immediately after the exam, the first thought that came out of me was a surprising
"Oh f***..."
I didn't quite understand my reaction immediately.
I started doing one-to-one work as an astrologer. Over time, the work that I do became less about the chart and more about the person sitting in front of me. And that was what got me into getting a certification in Ontological Coaching, then the ACC and now this- the PCC.
This is the highest standard I have ever reached in this work. It's a really big deal: on top of passing this exam, I have to clock 500 hours of coaching, have 125 hours of coaching education, 10 hours of mentor coaching and have my mentor evaluate my recordings and transcripts.
So what was the "Oh f***..." really about?
And then it hit me: I'd spent so much time thinking about passing this exam that I didn't actually think I could pass it. And even though I did pass it, I still didn't feel that I could declare that I'm, indeed, coaching at this new level. This "not good enough" story is truly and indeed a bitch (please excuse me).
There's a version of this story where the prince waits until he feels ready to be king. But the crown doesn't wait. Ready or not, it's his now. He wears it, and he must learn to grow into it.
Yes, I just compared getting my PCC to becoming king. Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
I guess the "Oh f***..." is also about the recognition of a line I can no longer step behind now. I cannot hide behind "I'm not sure if I'm good enough" anymore. And I can also no longer give myself excuses to play it small.
Yes Gabby, it's time to get your s**t together and be the PCC-level coach that you are now.
If you've been considering working with me, there has never been a better moment. And if you've been watching from the sidelines, watch this space.
