What’s New at Krakauer Coaching?
Introducing the CEC and PEC…

In 2013, graduation-hatI went back to school to complete an Executive Coaching program at Royal Roads University. The experience re-ignited my commitment to coaching as a catalyst for positive change in the work place, and gave me new tools for helping leaders and professionals to navigate in their careers. Certified Executive Coach (CEC) is the designation granted by Royal Roads University.

In January I obtained a Professional Coaching Certification (PCC), granted by the International Coach Federation (ICF). This designation recognizes coaches who have completed over 750 hours of individual coaching. As with other professions, the credential is only meaningful if it is put into practice. For me, continuing education is personally rewarding and ensures clients have access to the latest techniques and proven professional practices. I am committed to the ethical and professional standards of the ICF, and contributing to the integrity of my profession.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

A new year.  A chance to hit the refresh button. During these dark cold days of winter, pause and take time to reflect and set the stage for the coming year. Make note of your past year’s successes, recognize what you learned and where you got stuck, then let it go and look forward. A yoga teacher of mine is fond of saying Start by Stopping.
