Getting certified isn’t the finish line. It’s the beginning of your professional identity as a coach.

And that journey can feel isolating.

You’re holding space for others.
You’re building something from scratch.
You’re trying to meet high standards, while still building confidence in your own voice.

You don’t have to do that alone.

At The Art of Strategy, we support coaches who care deeply about their craft and want to build something sustainable around it.

Clear standards.
Honest feedback.
Shared growth.
Real belonging.

This is for coaches who take their work seriously - and want to grow with others who do too.

Choose Your Path

We support coaches through three stages of professional growth:

Community of Practice

Practice together. Refine together. Stay sharp.

ICF Mentor Coaching

Strengthen your craft. Earn or renew your credential.

Beyond the Badge

Build the business behind your credential.

Community of Practice

Grow the Craft. Together.

This is a structured space to practice, reflect, and strengthen your work - alongside peers who care about professional standard.

The Three Lenses

  • Self — Presence. Bias. Confidence.

  • Practice — Competency refinement. Direct feedback.

  • Business — Structure. Boundaries. Sustainability.

You practice out loud.
You receive clear feedback.
You grow in community.

More precise.
More grounded.
More confident.

  • Facilitated by Alison Geskin, PCC with guest experts in select sessions

  • ICF-aligned learning format (framing, reflection, small-group dialogue, integration)

  • Occasional live coaching demonstrations (as appropriate)

  • Continuing Coach Education aligned with the ICF Core Competencies

  • Eligible for Core Competency CCE hours

ICF Mentor Coaching

Beyond the Badge

Build a Practice That Performs.

A credential proves competence. A business requires structure.

We help you clarify:

  • Positioning

  • Pricing

  • Offer design

  • Sustainable systems

No hype. No hustle culture.

Just disciplined growth - alongside others building seriously.
