ISTANBUL (TR) - Since 1995, the International Coach Federation (ICF) has selected the coach of the week twice a month worldwide. ICF, which today has 40,000 global members, has chosen a name from Turkey as coach of the week for the first time this year. PCC Fatih Elibol, who continues to mentor and lead coach the deputies in the UK and European Union Parliament and the CEO and senior executives of major companies around the world, said: “I am proud to be the first Turkish coach of the week and also to be the first coach selected from Turkey. As a mentor coach and trainer, we have achieved the same awareness and training that we have experienced for many years. It is indescribable to be a part of ICF, which has established and developed the ethical principles with the global standards of the coaching profession from its inception to the present day.”

“Leaders who ask, question and listen comes with the coaching training”

Elibol, who is known for his work in the fields of neuro training, professional coaching and mentor coaching in the world, said that professional coaching training has just begun to be known in Turkey and said, “Interest in ICF professional coaching in Turkey is increasing every day. Operating in our country since 2005, ICF has been the leader in the development of the coaching profession in our country. Today, the number of professional coaches approved by ICF in our country is around 249 and the institutions providing coaching training are around 20. From career managers to young people who are new to business life, to those who focus on personal development who want to have the basic coaching knowledge and skills they need to acquire in order to improve their professional and individual quality of life are participating in the trainings. Then those who want to perform as a profession continue on this journey. In order to become a title coach, you must have completed at least 80 hours of training, while at the same time receiving 100 hours of coaching experience and 10 sessions of mentor coaching and passing the ICF title exam. This journey involves a very special process that brings you to new titles and competencies as you gain experience.”

"It is important to choose trainers with PPC and MCC titles while taking coaching training."

Emphasizing that people who have not had any training under coaching training recently started to work, Fatih Elibol made the following suggestions to those who want to receive coaching training: “You should question the title, experience and training of the person who gave the training. It is possible to access the information of the person or institution providing the training from the website of the International Coach Federation, search it. On the other hand, make sure that the trainers have at least a PCC title. PCC and MCC coach is a coach who can train and mentor you during the title process.”

"We only give class trainings in Turkey with Sinan Ergin”

Elibol, who stated that they gave the first online interactive basic coaching trainings that took place in the past months with Sinan Ergin, one of the leading doyens of Turkey, said, “We will open class trainings in Turkey for the first time in October, as well as my studies abroad, we open classroom and online interactive trainings in Turkey with only Sinan Ergin. We provide our participants who complete the title process with the opportunity to work within Live-Ca and gain qualified professional coaches in our country.”
