And We Painted the Conclave Yellow
The ICF India Coaching Conclave 2026 was a memorable gathering of coaches, leaders, organizations, and changemakers from across the country and overseas for two enriching days of learning, growth, and connection. As one of the major sponsors of the conclave, Regal Unlimited was delighted to be part of the event—not only as participants, but also as contributors to the larger coaching community. Yet, when we look back on those two days, what stands out most is not a particular


How Certified Executive Coaches Drive Organisational Performance
Executive Leadership Coach, Mentor for ICF coaches Founder - Regal Unlimited - The Coaching School for the World In a world defined by disruption — from geopolitics and tariffs to artificial intelligence and evolving workforce expectations — organisations are increasingly recognising that sustainable success depends not just on smart strategy, but on real transformational leadership. While organisations invest heavily in AI, systems, processes, and technology, one factor cont


Why Coaching Should Not Be Mixed with Mentoring, Training, Consulting, or Therapy
In today’s professional development industry, coaching is often blended with mentoring, consulting, training, and even therapy or healing. Many professionals today operate across multiple modalities. It is not uncommon for a coach to also have experience as a mentor, consultant, trainer, or even in therapeutic or healing disciplines. This diversity can be a strength, but it also makes clarity of role essential. Having worked across coaching, mentoring, consulting, training, a


The Hidden Value of ICF Coach Training Most Coaches Overlook (Beyond Certification)
When most people think about ICF Coach Training, they picture the visible, measurable skills, the kind that lead to obvious outcomes: powerful questioning, structured frameworks, refined presence, and ultimately, becoming a commercially successful coach. And yes, all of those matters. It does happen. It’s part of the journey. But it’s not the whole story. In my own journey (from ACC learner to now a PCC Coach and still growing), I’ve discovered that the real value of an ICF C


From Learning to Practice: Unlocking Value in ICF ACC Coach Training
You have done the training and read the documents. You understand the competencies. You can explain Active Listening and Evokes Awareness in your sleep. And then you sit across from a real client - and your mind goes completely blank. Or worse, you hear yourself giving advice. Again. If you have been there, you are not alone. That gap between knowing coaching, doing coaching, and being a coach is one of the most human, most universal experiences in any ACC coaching training p


Why Most Executive Coaching Programs Fail to Deliver Results
At a coaching event in Delhi a few years ago, one of the panelists mentioned that they don’t see lasting results in their executive coaching programmes. From the sponsor’s point of view, they were correct (the customer is always right!). However, what was missing was not looking beyond the surface to understand what contributed to the situation. Real coaching is transformational. Transformation is like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. It is irreversible. In recent


From ACC to PCC: Advancing Your ICF Coaching Journey
Why ICF PCC Certification Matters For professional coaches, the journey from ACC to ICF PCC certification is not just a progression—it is a transformation. The International Coaching Federation (ICF) sets the global gold standard for coaching. While ACC establishes foundational capability, PCC coaching certification represents depth, mastery, and professional credibility. Yet, this journey is not about accumulating hours or credentials. It is about becoming a coach . Then tr


ICF Coach Certification: A Smart Investment for Coaching Professionals
Why I Initially Hesitated About Certification As someone who genuinely enjoys learning and strongly believes applied experience is the most powerful teacher, certification programs never attracted me. I have always preferred real conversations, real experiments, real transformation over framed credentials. So when I considered enrolling with the International Coaching Federation and exploring ICF coaching certification , I had genuine hesitation. Was this going to be theoreti
