ICF Exam ICF-ACC Topic 1 Question 8 Discussion
Topic #: 1
A potential client seeks expert advice and information about new markets on which they should focus their business Which would most likely fit best for this client?
The ICF Definition of Coaching focuses on 'partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process' to maximize potential, not providing expert advice (ICF Coaching Boundaries). A client seeking 'expert advice and information' about markets requires a different approach. Let's analyze:
A . Consulting: Consulting involves delivering expertise and solutions, fitting the client's need for market-specific advice, distinct from coaching's non-directive nature (ICF Code of Ethics, Section 2.3).
B . Coaching: Coaching supports goal-setting and self-discovery, not delivering expert market insights (ICF Definition of Coaching).
C . Coaching: (Duplicate option) Same as B.
D . Mentoring: Mentoring shares experience and guidance, which is closer but less formal and expert-driven than consulting.
Option A (consulting) best fits, as it aligns with the client's need for expertise, outside ICF coaching boundaries.
