Divorce Coaches Academy
Divorce Coaches Academy podcast hosts Tracy Callahan and Debra Doak are on a mission to revolutionize the way families navigate divorce. We discuss topics to help professional divorce coaches succeed with clients and meet their business goals and we advocate (loudly sometimes) for the critical role certified divorce coaches play in the alternative dispute resolution process. Our goal is to create a community of divorce coaching professionals committed to reducing the financial and emotional impact of divorce on families.

Title vs Training: Why is Everyone Calling Themselves a Divorce Coach?

We’re noticing more and more people out here saying they’re divorce coaches, but when you dive into their bios, there’s no mention of coursework or certification in divorce coaching. They're using the title but don't have the training.
In this episode we're going on a bit of a rant about everybody and their brother calling themselves a divorce coach, but we're also going to give you some guidance about how to advocate for the profession of divorce coaching and have hard conversations with others about the importance of certification and training.
We'll review the 4 main reasons using the title without the training is problematic for our profession:
- We're already fighting a stigma/reputation issue
- Diminishes the credibility of those who have done it
- Makes it harder to earn a seat at the table
- Confuses the public
Then we'll give you some scripts you can use if you get a networking request from someone using the title without the training.
Our goal in this episode is not to bash other professionals - it’s to continue the conversation and help you advocate for the profession of divorce coaching. And that starts with speaking up about the importance of certification and training. Because you never know...your courage to step into that conversation might be the spark to get someone on the path to certification.
