As the year settles into motion, this feels like a good moment to pause and notice what actually sustains progress.
This time of year shifts our focus to plans.
New goals. Some energising, some overwhelming. Often accompanied by pressure for outcomes to follow quickly.
But what holds firm and lasts long is never built in a moment. It’s shaped through what it endures, long before it’s ready to flourish.
Roots matter.
In coaching, the work that truly lasts is rarely dramatic. It unfolds slowly, through commitment, consistency and care.
The conditions that make this possible
This kind of work doesn’t happen in isolation.
It needs steady support.
Where learning overlaps with mentoring.
Where rigour challenges you.
Where experienced mentors and peers make the work less solitary.
When these conditions are steady, outcomes follow.
What this looked like over the past year
Over the past year, these conditions supported more than 30 coaches within the Regal Ecosystem in achieving their ICF credentials - ACC and PCC.
Each credential represents months, often years, of showing up consistently and staying with the work even when it’s uncomfortable.
Much of it happens away from the spotlight. Like roots digging in before they can hold.
We often refer to this as Credential++, not as a label, but as a reminder that what shapes a coach goes beyond a single milestone.
This isn’t solely about collecting credentials, but about growing within a system that changes how you show up when conversations get demanding.
Choosing where to grow
If you’re deciding where to invest your time and effort this year, it’s worth looking closely at the conditions that will shape your growth.
Within the Regal ecosystem, people engage in different ways, depending on where they are in their journey:
We also support organisations through custom-designed team engagements using an Appreciative Inquiry–based Systemic Team coaching.

Strong roots last.
Especially when they’re grown together.
