MCC Coach Ben Dooley: “Every coaching call contains a thousand moments when we lose connection with our client; but most nobody would notice. And few are cataclysmic.”

In 2025, the ICF estimates 109,200 ICF certified coaches exist worldwide, an unprecedented milestone exceeding the 100,000 mark. Most recent 2023 data has MCC coaches at 2,203. So reasonable to expect, it’s still under 3,000.
How high am I with this long climb and summit of certifying with the International Coaching Federation as a master certified coach, an honor the international non-profit, the largest for coaches globally, bestows to only 4% of its coaches globally.
Well. I need to secure my second recording having secured one clear winner. And whilst I see the summit, I’m not quite there yet.
I LOVED and felt euphoric about a recording I recently shared with MCC Coach Ben, my partner on this climb, with whom I’ve mentored ten times since last May. (I also shared this recording with you as episode eight.) Having listened together, my mentor and I both feel this effort’s a ‘maybe’ a ‘probably’ vs a clear ‘yes.’
In this week’s episode, with my client’s blessing once more, you’ll hear Coach Ben and my musing on the ICF evaluators and their very strict rule book of eight core competencies. We just don’t know how much they’ll love this attempt.
The sharing’s a little choppy as we’re stitching together (with dear Dotun’s help) a conversation prior to listening to the coaching call with a conversation after listening to the coaching call.
