Results from these two surveys suggest that those with formal ICF certification are more likely than the renegades to perceive themselves as changing overall as a coach since beginning their formal work as a coach. The difference is significant at the .01 level of confidence. In a similar vein, the ICF certified coaches are also more likely than the renegades to have perceived themselves as overcoming past limitations as a coach (in terms of their skills and knowledge). The difference in mean scores was recorded at the .05 level of confidence.

What a terrific paper! And I’m not saying that because my name is spelled correctly or my ideas are accurately presented. The distinction between internal/external locus of control, the renegades/certified distinction, and the frontier town analogy are all stimulating and thought-provoking ideas.
