PCC to MCC: From Self-Doubt to Self-Mastery

A webinar designed specifically for Professional Certified Coaches (PCC) who feel ready for Master Certified Coach (MCC) but find themselves hesitating. This session explores the inner work of awareness and presence that allows you to show up authentically as a coach, embrace true mastery, and deliver excellence to those you serve.

Many coaches view the MCC certification as too vast to achieve or a weighty responsibility. But there comes a moment when the credential transforms from being about obtaining a “piece of paper” to holding a symbol that represents your choice to embody a way of being and your dedication to offering value and excellence.

The MCC journey is first and foremost a personal quest for master, moving beyond simply ticking competency boxes (an externally driven process) to a place of deeper self-trust, where coaching parameters emerge naturally from within while allowing your unique talents as a coach to fully blossom and express themselves.

During the webinar we’ll dive deep into taming your inner critic and cultivating the confidence needed to make this profound shift from PCC to MCC.

Whether you’re struggling with self-doubt or questioning if you’re “enough,” this session will help you recognise that you might already be coaching at an MCC level - the growth edge might be somewhere else entirely.

Core Competencies Applied

CC2: Embodies Coaching Mindset

• Coach-specific nature: Addresses the internal transformation coaches must undergo to move from technique-focused to mindset-embodied coaching
• Core Competency relation: Directly develops the coach's ability to maintain a coaching mindset rather than falling into advice-giving or problem-solving modes or other modes that would not demonstrate an MCC coaching mindset
• Client skill development: When coaches embody the coaching mindset authentically, they create deeper client transformation by modelling presence, self-trust and trust in what is emerging in the coach-client space.

CC4: Trust and Safety

• Coach-specific nature: Focuses on how the coach's inner work and self-trust directly impacts their ability to create psychological safety for themselves space and for the clients in the coaching space
• Core Competency relation: Addresses how managing one's inner critic and developing confidence allows coaches to show up authentically, trust oneself and the client, partner with the client and other elements that are essential for building trust
• Client skill development: Coaches who have worked through their own self-doubt can role model, understand and offer more effective breath and space for client authentic expression and growth

CC5: Presence

• Coach-specific nature: Specifically addresses the coach's personal development of present-moment awareness and the ability to coach intuitively
• Core Competency relation: Directly develops the coach's capacity to be fully present with clients rather than caught in their own internal dialogue or technique/performance anxiety
• Client skill development: Enhanced presence allows coaches to pick up on subtle client cues, respond more effectively to what's emerging in the moment, and create deeper client awareness through their own embodied presence

This training is uniquely coach-specific as it addresses the internal barriers that prevent talented coaches from fully utilizing their skills with clients, focusing on the personal mastery work that enables more effective coaching delivery.
