Welcome to Cain Coaching and Consulting

Welcome one and all to Cain Coaching and Consulting. I’m Charles Cain, and I am a holder of the International Coaching Federation Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential with years of experience coaching individuals and teams. I have expertise in both the entrepreneurial and corporate scenes, fulfilling roles such as Founder and Director in the IT, Marketing, Retail, Financial Services, Entertainment, and Management Consulting business domains.





Charles Cain, President
I also hold the Co-Active Training Institute’s Certified Professional  Co-Active Coach (CPCC) credential. The CPCC is recognized as the most rigorous and respected coach training and certification in the professional coaching industry.


My Coaching Foundation

You are looking to make changes to who you are. Anyone can claim to be a coach on LinkedIn, Facebook, or any website like this.

Yet, if you wanted to be certified in scuba diving, you would seek out someone that is a certified diving instructor. Wouldn’t you want your coach to be someone that has been through an accredited program, has coached others during that training, AND continued to improve themselves as a coach to work with you to become the best that you can be? 

 My first professional coaching training was the Co-Active Training Institute coaching workshops. Along with others striving to become coaches, I had 5 3-day long workshops. In those workshops, we coached ourselves, gave each other feedback, and had homework and other coaching sessions to apply what we learned so far. This foundation totaled 130 hours of professional coaching training.

My CPCC Credential

After my CTI foundation training was completed, I pursued getting my CPCC certification. In this phase, I did the following:
1) Participated in weekly calls and homework with my certification leaders and teammates.
2) Maintained a roster of at least 5 active clients, with over 100 total hours of coaching.
3) Engaged in weekly sessions with my fellow Certification teammates to hone what we had learned in previous workshops.
4) Had a closed book written mid-term exam.
5) Using recordings of me with my coaching clients, 2 mentor coaches evaluated and graded my coaching.
6) Had a closed book written final exam.
7) Had an oral final exam in which 2 certified coach examiners determine if I made the grade and was eligible to be called a Certified Professional CoActive Coach.

The ICF Professional Certified Coach Credential

While earning the CPCC was impressive, there was that desire to always improve. That is where the Professional Certified Coach credential from the International Coaching Federation comes into the picture. You see, to earn the PCC, since I already had the CPCC, I had to do the following:
1) Submit proof of my coaching training for evaluation.
2) Show that I had logged at least 500 hours of coaching with at least 25 clients.
3) Pass a written supervised credentialing exam.
4) Agree to adhere to the International Coaching Federation Core Values AND the ICF Code of Ethics.

Upon completion of all of the above, the PCC Credential was bestowed upon me. 

Now that you know all of this, what are you feeling in regard to just anyone claiming to be a coach?
