• Coach Exchange - One of the toughest things for new and not-so-new coaches is finding paying clients. You need paying clients to get better as a coach and especially if you want to be an ICF-certified coach. People don't always realize that bartering is an accepted form of payment by the International Coach Federation. That's why we put together The Coaching Exchange. The Coaching Exchange is your ticket to paid coaching hours with really good clients. In the Coaching Exchange, you get 40 hours of paid coaching experience, and you help other coaches do the same. Experience matters. Go to coachapproachministries.org/coachexchange to find out more. coachapproachministries.org/coachexchange.
