With a commitment to empower individual growth and professional development, Dr. Kincaid provides executive leadership coaching services tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual client.

Coaching with a master certified coach who holds a Ph.D. offers distinct value because of the unique blend of advanced expertise, research-backed insights, and professional coaching skills.

  1. Deep Understanding of Human Behavior: A Ph.D. often involves specialized training in psychology, human behavior, education, or a related field. This expertise enables the coach to have a deeper understanding of underlying cognitive, emotional, and behavioral processes.

  2. Research-Based Approaches: Ph.D. level training emphasizes evidence-based practices and critical analysis. Certified coaches with this background are more likely to utilize scientifically validated techniques and stay current with the latest research, ensuring that the coaching process is grounded in proven methods.

  3. Advanced Problem-Solving Skills: The rigorous training involved in a Ph.D. cultivates advanced problem-solving abilities and complex, systems-level thinking. This can be invaluable in coaching, where clients often face multifaceted personal and professional challenges.

  4. Enhanced Listening and Communication Skills: Ph.D. level education often sharpens skills in listening, communication, and constructive feedback. When combined with certification-specific coaching skills, this helps ensure the coach is highly attuned to a client’s needs, goals, and unique challenges.

  5. Credentialed Professionalism and Ethical Standards: A certified coach with a Ph.D. has not only undergone formal coaching training but has also been educated in ethical and professional standards. This dual credentialing increases dedication to ethical best practices.
