A Professional Association for Coaches Who Want Stability, Credibility, and a Business That Actually Works
International Association of Professional Life Coaches® (IAPLC) is a professional platform that helps certified coaches build legitimacy, direction, and sustainable income
—from where you are now.
The Real Problem
You didn’t become a certified coach to feel invisible, scattered, or unsure whether this can actually work.
Yet for many coaches, that’s exactly what happens after certification.
You’re trained—but not economically stable.
You care deeply—but struggle to get traction.
You’re capable—but the industry offers no clear structure, standards, or support.
This isn’t a motivation problem.
And it’s not because you’re “missing the right funnel.”
It’s because the coaching industry asks coaches to build businesses without a professional platform.
No credibility with prospective clients.
No visibility.
No roadmap.
That’s the gap the International Association of Professional Life Coaches® exists to fill.
What IAPLC Is (and Is Not)
IAPLC is a professional association, not a personality brand or a promise of overnight success. We exist to provide three things the industry has failed to offer:
Credibility - membership in a 14-year-old professional organization establishes credibility in a crowded, unregulated market
Visibility - listing in our regularly promoted online Directory
Roadmap - translate your skills into a business that can support you financially
What we do NOT do:
• Promise income
• Sell hype
• Position one person as “the answer”
• Require you to buy additional courses to keep your membership status
Instead, we create clear tiers for different stages of professional development
—so you’re not trying to solve the wrong problems at the wrong time.
IAPLC is for coaches who are serious about their profession—even if their income hasn’t caught up yet.
Specifically, we serve coaches who are:
• Newly certified and asking, “Am I legitimate—and where do I start?”
• Earning inconsistently and feeling scattered or overwhelmed
• Burned out from trying everything and seeing little return
• Running solo and tired of making decisions in isolation
• Looking for stability, not noise
If you want a real, professional platform—this is for you.
The Core Promise
Members gain:
• Clear professional identity
• Direction instead of overwhelm
• Support instead of isolation
• A legitimate place in the industry
• A clearer income trajectory over time
As members often say:
“You don’t waste my time.”
“Everything is pertinent and succinct.”
“I finally understand why I wasn’t getting clients.”
“I feel like someone actually has my back.”
“IAPLC is a gold mine of business and marketing training for coaches. My recommendation is you’ve struck it rich! You don’t need to go anywhere else!”
Gary Henson, BusinessCoach.com

Why Start Now?
Because staying unclear costs more than joining an association. Every month without direction:
Income stays inconsistent
Confidence erodes
Energy drains
Momentum stalls
IAPLC doesn’t promise instant success.
It gives you a professional foundation you can finally build on...And for most coaches, that’s the missing piece!
IAPLC has been here for 15 years. The coaches who joined early built practices on a foundation that still holds. The coaches who waited are still waiting.

“I don’t need teaching. I need peers.”
Tier 3 gives you high-level support
"You don't waste anybody's time. Every masterclass, every person you bring on them, every element of your email, and of your information is pertinent. That's very impressive. And to me, very supportive. It shows that you spend time putting it together."
Diane Schafer, Life Coach
IAPLC Membership Comparison
How to Choose (This Makes It Simple):
Choose Tier 1 if:
• You’re newly certified or starting over
• You want legitimacy, structure, and support
• You’re not ready for guided implementation yet
👉 Tier 1 gives you a professional platform.
Choose Tier 2 if:
• You want clients, not just content
• You feel scattered or overwhelmed
• You’re tired of guessing what matters
• You want feedback, clarity, and focus
👉 Tier 2 turns effort into momentum.
Choose Tier 3 if:
• You’re already earning six figures
• You don’t need teaching
• You want honest, high-level peer dialogue
• You value perspective over instruction
👉 Tier 3 solves isolation at the top.
The Most Important Distinction:
Tier 1 supports your identity. Tier 2 supports your decisions. Tier 3 supports your thinking.
None is “better.” Each is appropriate—depending on where you are.
