They are certified coaches by these organizations, as well as by ICF, the International Coaching Federation.
Supervision of Equoranda coaches
Supervision in coaching is necessary to help the coach be as objective as possible and avoid projecting onto his/her client his/her own issues. Supervision can be done individually or in group sessions, and is led by a senior coach. Under confidentiality rules, the supervised coach discusses with the supervisor (and the group if needed) the coaching s/he has an issue with, in order to understand the blockages, and to find solutions appropriate to this coaching situation.
Equoranda coaches are supervised on their coaching practice. They are currently part of a supervision group which meets every 6 weeks, and can contact their supervisor for additional individual supervision sessions if needed.

Deontology followed by Equoranda coaches
