Find a Career Coach

To be listed in the IACC Career Coach Directory, you must first complete our flagship certification program: the Senior Professional Career Coach (SPCC)®, or one of our other certificationprograms: Senior Professional Résumé Writer (SPRW)™, or Senior Professional Resilience Coach (SPRC)™.

Once you have successfully completed SPCC, SPRW, or SPRC and your certification has been awarded, you will receive instructions on how to create or update your directory profile. From there, you can add your photo, bio, coaching specialties, locations served, and contact information so clients can easily find and contact you through the IACC Career Coach Directory.

If you have already completed one of these certifications and do not yet see yourself in the directory, please contact our support team at hello@iacareercoaches.org, so we can help you activate or update your listing.

Coaching timelines vary based on your goals. Many people work with a coach for 2–3 months to navigate a transition, while others continue longer for ongoing growth and accountability. Your coach will help you determine a timeline that fits your needs and schedule.

Coaching typically begins with understanding your goals and challenges, then building a plan to help you move forward with clarity and confidence. Sessions focus on reflection, strategy, accountability, and skill-building. Your coach will guide you with questions, tools, and frameworks—not just advice—to help you achieve results.
