Why this placement

Five books with Berrett-Koehler — Breakthrough Coaching (2024), Coach the Person, Not the Problem (2020), The Discomfort Zone (2014), Wander Woman (2010) — is a sustained relationship with a serious independent publisher, and Coach the Person, Not the Problem is used as training material by other coaches rather than only read by clients. Writing what other practitioners teach from is the strongest form of the generosity criterion.

ICF's own site records that she was among the first twenty-five people worldwide to hold the MCC credential, and she holds the ICF Circle of Distinction. Her MCC is independently confirmed rather than self-asserted.
