Subash CV, MCC (ICF), CXO Coach, ICF Mentor Coach Introduction In a world of constant disruption and complexity, leadership is no longer solely about authority and direction; it is also about fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration. Today’s leaders are being called to serve, elevate, and transform. In this context, the journey of becoming a coach-leader through a certification, such as the International Coaching Federation (ICF) credential, is more relevant than ever.Let’s explore how ICF coaching certification opens a pathway to leadership development in the 21st century, and how organisations, teams and individuals can align with this shift. 1. Why ICF Coach Certification Matters The ICF has been shaping the coaching landscape globally for more than 30 years.  Earning an ICF-accredited credential signals that you meet globally recognised standards of ethics, competencies and professionalism. Yes, ethics first, in a world where governance is not absolute. Based on truth and righteousness (Satyam Vadha, Dharmam Chara, in Sanskrit) For you as a leader, coach, or business owner/entrepreneur, the credential does two things: it builds credibility. It deepens your capacity to operate from a coaching mindset  (which is different from a directive mindset). It gives you the framework for all dialogues and conversations - internally and externally. At work and at home, and also in the community.  We don’t have to be the victim of our environment. A coaching mindset can help navigate all challenges, at the same time have a positive ripple effect on the environment. For organisations, having coaches (internal or external) with ICF accreditation supports the development of a “ coaching culture ” rather than just a “leadership programme”. 2. The Landscape of Credentials: ACC and Beyond When we talk about leadership coaching certification, it’s helpful to understand the credential paths offered by ICF: The Associate Certified Coach (ACC)  is often the entry-level credential for individuals who have completed coach-specific education (and meet other requirements).  The Professional Certified Coach (PCC)  is a higher credential requiring more hours of training and coaching experience.  For many aspiring leadership coaches, beginning with an ICF-accredited programme that qualifies for ACC is a realistic and strategic step. From a leadership development programme perspective, our programs like Leader-As-Coach  or Building a Coaching Mindset are a good start. But when you embed leaders with credentials like ICF ACC (or higher), you raise the standard of coaching your leaders receive and thus elevate the leadership quotient. It is truly transformational. 3. The Future of Leadership – Coaching at the Heart We are witnessing a shift in the design and execution of leadership development. Below are key trends that position coaching (and certified coaching) at the heart of future-ready leadership. a) From Directive to Developmental Traditional leadership development often emphasises the “tell, train, task” approach. The future demands a more developmental orientation: asking questions, facilitating insight, enabling growth. A coach-certified leader is equipped to do this. b) Coaching Culture and Systemic Impact Rather than isolated leadership workshops, organizations are moving toward creating coaching cultures  — i.e., leadership as coach, peer-to-peer coaching, and embedded coaching mindsets across levels. Certified coaches bring rigour, structure and sustainability to that.For example, a leadership coaching certification aligned with ICF standards (core competencies, ethics, etc) offers a blueprint for practice.  c) Complexity, Agility and the Human Factor Leaders are navigating VUCA to BANI. In that terrain, the ability to listen, evoke awareness, facilitate learning — all hallmarks of coaching — become the differentiators. The ICF framework emphasises competencies such as maintaining presence, active listening, and evoking awareness. d) Coaching as Leadership Development Strategy vs. Coaching as Add-On Rather than treating coaching as a premium “X-for-executives” add-on, future-ready organizations integrate coaching into leadership development at scale. This involves internal coaches, embracing continuous growth, measuring impact, and establishing a pipeline. ICF coaching certification  supports this scaling by giving credibility and a common “language” for coaching. 4. Why India and Why Now? India is witnessing rapid change: digital disruption, hybrid work, generational diversity, global competition, and leadership gaps. In this environment, coaching is not just a “nice-to-have” but a strategic differentiator. For Indian professionals who are shifting from functional leadership roles into “leader as coach” roles (a trend you should personally champion), the ICF credential becomes a signal of readiness and rigour. Moreover, as you develop the “Leader As Coach” programme and promote the mindset of integrating IQ, EQ, and SQ, embedding ICF coaching certification into leadership development makes sense — it ensures the training ground is credible and globally aligned. 5. How to Choose the Right Programme (and Ensure Impact) Given the proliferation of coach training programmes, here are pointers (aligned with your coaching education and mentoring lens) to ensure ROI and relevance for leadership development: Ensure the programme is ICF-accredited (or aligned) so that the hours count for ACC or higher. For instance, ICF details the credentialing pathways and education/experience requirements.  Look for strong emphasis on practice, mentoring and reflective capabilities , not just theory. Programs like the Regal Coach Certification  emphasise “use of self”, deep practice, and feedback. Leadership coaching certification programmes should include modules on leadership context, such as teams, organisational culture, and system dynamics, in addition to one-to-one coaching. For example, Regal Unlimited’s leadership coaching certification programmes  emphasise leadership, delegation, succession, and team dynamics.  Consider how the programme aligns with your leadership development strategy: Will coaches trained influence behaviour, create culture, and support leaders across levels? Post-certification support matters: mentoring, peer community, and continuous development. Because leadership development is a journey, not a one-off. A GROW model workshop for a day is not a coach certification. 6. The Role of Coaching Certification in Leadership Development at Scale How ICF coaching certification  can be leveraged at scale in organisations: Internal Coach Capability : Organisations can train high-potential leaders or HR/L&D professionals to become certified internal coaches (via ICF pathways). This builds internal capacity rather than relying solely on external coaches. Scalable Coaching Ecosystem : With certified coaches across various levels, organisations can cascade coaching at team lead, middle management, and senior leadership levels — creating sustained development rather than episodic interventions. Measurement and Credibility : Coaching engagements conducted by ICF-credentialled coaches carry more credibility and can be better integrated with leadership metrics (engagement, retention, innovation). Leadership as Coaching : The shift from “leader as manager” to “leader as coach” implies that certified coaching training becomes part of leadership development curriculum. This means leadership development becomes co-created, growth-oriented, and dynamic. Future-proofing Leadership Pipelines : As organisational roles become more fluid, leadership boundaries blur, and a coaching mindset offers agility. ICF-trained coaches are better positioned to navigate change, system thinking, and global complexity. Let the leaders be part of the ICF ecosystem 7. Your Invitation / Call to Action If you’re a leader, HR professional, L&D partner or corporate or business leader  looking to scale impact and stay future-ready, here’s what you can do: Explore the ICF coaching certification pathway (for example, the ACC credential ) and map how it fits into your leadership development architecture. Consider how your organisation’s leadership development strategy could embed a coaching culture rather than relying on occasional training. Evaluate programmes that are not only ICF-aligned but also emphasise leadership context, team, and organisational coaching, and sustained behavioural change. As you mentor, educate and lead, ask yourself: Are we developing leaders who coach? Are we building a system where coaching becomes the default leadership style? At Regal Unlimited, we invite you to explore our ICF coaching certification  path in India and see how this can be aligned with your leadership development journey.  ICF-accredited Regal Coach Certification (Level 1)  for ICF ACC is a good place to start. The best ICF coaching ecosystem.  Conclusion In an era of accelerated change, leadership is being reimagined. The shift from command-and-control to inquiry, from managing outcomes to growing people, from static roles to fluid systems — all of this calls for a deeper, more human-centred approach. ICF coaching certification is not just a credential; it is a gateway into this new paradigm of leadership. By acquiring certified coaching skills, leaders and organisations equip themselves to navigate complexity, build resilient cultures, and unlock human potential. As you move forward with your leadership coaching certification journey, remember: the ultimate measure is not the badge but the transformation baked into the way leaders lead, teams operate, and organizations evolve.

The Next Dimension of Leadership Coaching IQ and EQ can take you to the top. But can they keep you there? “My knowledge, experience, and sharp people skills have always helped me excel. But why aren’t they helping me now?” “I’m so good at managing people. Why can’t I manage myself?” Even the most seasoned leaders get these nagging questions, especially when faced with a massive challenge that shakes their confidence and self-belief. And this inner conflict is not new. Eons ago, Arjuna, too, felt the same on the Kurukshetra battlefield. Despite being one of the greatest, most experienced warriors, Arjuna was overcome with a flux of doubts and emotions when he came face-to-face with the Kaurava army. What turned Arjuna’s story around? Clarity of purpose. IQ  can enhance performance. EQ  can improve people skills. But without knowing your Purpose, the ‘Why-you-do-everything-you-do,’ IQ and EQ can prove ineffective, especially during a crisis. A well-shaped Spiritual Quotient (SQ) clarifies Purpose. That’s why it’s imperative that leaders & coaches today embrace the third dimension of leadership coaching – the Spiritual Quotient. In this edition of Coach Guru, we bring clarity on why SQ completes a leader and the invaluable role of coaching in enhancing SQ. Do ponder over your Purpose as you pore through these pages. Wishing you a Purpose-full day, year & life ahead! EXCLUSIVE ‘SQ’ FEATURE For leaders, potential without purpose is ineffective. Coaching can create impactful leadership by addressing the gap between Potential and Purpose.

Topics covered in the webinar Why Teams and Individuals matter? Anatomy of Team Coaching Engagements. Difference between a Coach and a Facilitator Team Coaching outcome : Foster autonomy Defining Generative Team Coaching  Role & Principles of team coaching Brief Summary of the Webinar Janet Harvey is a renowned Coach, a Visionary, an author and an eloquent Speaker. She awakens the leader within and helps people delve deep to lead wholesome lives. She chooses to term Team Coaching as 1 to Many (1:Many). She begins the webinar by telling us she started to coach Teams at a time when Coaching was beginning to differentiate itself from Mentoring, Training or Change Management interventions. Janet emphasizes that the emotional and social intelligence of the teams are extremely important and it cannot be ignored for teams to perform in synergy with the organizational goals. She explains in detail why teams and individuals matter within Organizations. Janet says that it is the prerogative of the Coaches to help teams operate in safe  and secure spaces. It should be the Coach’s endeavour to know what keeps the teams motivated and how often they get into those moments of motivation.  She also talks of the anatomy of team coaching engagements in detail. She says these engagements nurture the teams besides helping them to realize the purpose of their existence. It is also the responsibility of the leaders to keep the teams nourished and free from skepticism. In this webinar, Janet draws out the differences between a Coach and a facilitator. A Team Coach uses powerful questioning to help teams become aware of the choices teams make. She says that the outcome of team Coaching must foster autonomy. In an effective team interaction there is a level playing field and hierarchy is softened. Once a team has attained autonomy it is ready to take on the responsibility of taking action. As Coaches we are opening clients to many possibilities through the power of questioning. This probably can disrupt certain habits but can infuse action to realize the shared purpose of the organization. The webinar takes you through the entire gamut of team coaching and the outcomes for organizations.

Topics covered in the webinar Introduction: Paddy Padmanabhan What is Phoenix Mindset Why CEOs need Phoenix Mindset How leaders disrupt their own organizations using Phoenix Mindset Q&A with Paddy Padmanabhan How Coaching can pivot the mindset of CEOs How leaders are made using Coaching Brief Summary of the Webinar Regal Unlimited invited Prof Paddy Padmanabhan, a distinguished INSEAD Professor and co-author of the book, “The Phoenix Encounter Method” for an interactive webinar on decoding the nuances of the phoenix mindset. The topic gains extreme relevance and significance in these unprecedented times where the relentless waves of CHANGE are testing organizational leadership.  From the Global recession to the Great Resignation & other variants thereof, the organizational ecosystem is being negatively disrupted. The phoenix mindset has ‘urgency of doing’ at the heart of its framework. It is no surprise that legacy firms are equally vulnerable to becoming obsolete, being outrun by competitors, and being disrupted by nimble startups from seemingly unrelated industries, thanks to the amorphous industrial boundaries.   In such times, the Phoenix Encounter Method becomes an eye-opener (a tool of resurrection). In the webinar, Paddy delves at length on the framework, its use cases, its procedures and its application to various organizations. The basic premise is concerned with asking powerful questions (objective confrontation and provocation) to the senior leaders, and one such question which Paddy mentioned was, “ Can you list out three things which you can do to completely destroy your OWN business? (resources being abundant)” Kill your own business before the competitor does it because “Somewhere, someone is working on a product that can make your product obsolete.” Paddy then shared a few tips on developing a phoenix mindset. He sprinkled the session by giving amusing real-life examples of organizations and leaders who have successfully transitioned and adopted the ‘Phoenix Mindset’, truly they have gone through “a veritable firestorm of change to be re-born.”

Topics covered in the webinar Definition of Resilience Social and Emotional Intelligence The Four quadrants of EQ to manage awareness 26 Competencies of Emotional Intelligence Healthy relationship with Self Overcoming guilt Self awareness The emotional side to Change How do you care for physical well-being, Spiritual well-being and Mental well-being Brief Summary of the Webinar Regal Unlimited’s webinar on Resilience During A Time Of Change highlights the importance of building resilience especially during the present times by drawing on the strength of our inner-self.  Cathy Mott in this Webinar outlines the many ways to build  resilience and focuses on building Emotional Intelligence. Cathy Mott is a PCC, an executive coach helping Organizations create better leaders and a published author. The webinar is extremely invigorating as she draws examples from her own personal life on how to bounce back in spite of many hiccups life might throw at you. Mott patiently guides the participants to traverse the path to self-discovery to recognise the importance of self-care and build a resilient self which can bear positive impacts on one’s social relationships. She says, resilience is the ability to bounce back, resume a normal shape or sometimes perhaps create a new norm. She emphasizes the need to tap into our personal power in order to bounce back. Mott also mentions that each of us has the ability to be strong and buoyant. She makes a mention of Daniel Coleman where he states that Emotional Quotient is four times more important for success than intelligence quotient. Cott says that IQ is what gets you hired while EQ is what gets you promoted. She says it’s very important to give a name to our emotions, validate them, accept the same and learn to navigate them. It is very important to respond rather than react to our emotions. When you validate your emotion, it lessens the intensity and helps us to manage it well which can have a ripple effect in the sensewe will be able to have better social interactions. Mott also discusses in detail the four quadrants of Emotional Intelligence — Self Awareness, Self Management, Social Awareness and Relationship management. When we are aware of our Self, we are able to manage ourselves better, which can result in empathizing with others and help us manage our relationships better too. She mentions that   body language constitutes 55% of human communication. Therefore, she says how important it is to recognise this to help us build bonds. She says how self care is extremely important on the road to becoming resilient. She also says that one need not feel guilty to indulge in self care. Self care she says helps you in coming face to face with yourself, helps you experience a wide range of emotions and work through them. She also mentions that it is crucial to have a great relationship with self as it creates space to listen to our own Self. She says there is more happiness in giving than receiving when our cup/bucket is full. Lastly Cathy Mott also mentions the 4 components which constitute individual well-being and the many ways to fill these buckets to build resilience.
