In order to formally identify the skills a professional coach must have, the International Coaching Federation has come up with a list of core competencies. Discussed below are the four major competencies, but all of them have sub-competencies that need to be considered. There are a total of eleven core competencies for coaches.
The first competency is setting the foundation. This involves considering professional standards as well as ethical guidelines. Next is co-creating the relationship. Here, trust and intimacy are crucial to be able to establish a good relationship between the coach and the client. The third competency is communicating effectively. Active listening, powerful questioning, and direct communication are needed here.  Lastly, we have facilitating learning and results. It is not enough that the client is understood as this competency requires designing actions as well as planning and goal-setting.
