In this brief, first‑person update, the speaker announces that they have been awarded a $1,500 scholarship—the maximum offered—by the Professional Coaching Certification Institute (PCCI) for their first course toward International Coach Federation (ICF) accreditation. They highlight that the scholarship dramatically reduces the cost of the course, describing it as an answered prayer. The speaker reflects on a coaching career spanning over two decades with hundreds of paid and pro‑bono hours, and explains why they are now pursuing ICF credentials: to gain credibility, benefit from structured training, and unlock greater opportunities to impact lives. While acknowledging the remaining academic and financial challenges ahead, they celebrate this milestone as a purposeful start to the week.

Check it out. I just found out I received a $1,500 scholarship for my first course through PCCI. This is the maximum that they offer, and it takes a massive chunk out of the cost. It's a huge answered prayer. This course is the first step in earning my ICF accreditation. Now, I've been coaching for over 2 decades with hundreds of logged hours, both paid and pro bono. So why am I pursuing ICF? Because the credential gives credibility, structure, as well as opening doors to impact even more lives. I still have a huge, long road ahead of me, both academically and financially, but today, hey, I am celebrating this win and moving forward with purpose. What a great way to start wrapping up the week.
