The launch of the Powerful Parenting Collective by Natalie McCabe represents a significant advancement in parent support services, creating a centralized platform that bridges the gap between parents seeking guidance and professional parent coaches offering expertise. This innovative online membership community addresses the isolation many parenting experts and parents experience while working separately across various digital platforms. The initiative emerged following overwhelming response to a social media post, revealing a clear need for collaborative space where these groups could unite to create more substantial impact in family support.
Gloria DeGaetano, founder and CEO of the Parent Coaching Institute, has endorsed the new platform, emphasizing its potential benefits for PCI Certified Parent Coaches®. She highlighted how the community enables coaches to exchange best practices, discuss emerging coaching techniques, and develop new strategies to support parents in raising resilient and confident children. The dual focus on both parents and professional coaches facilitates rich exchange of ideas and support between those seeking guidance and those providing professional expertise.
The timing of this launch coincides with the Parent Coaching Institute's ongoing efforts to strengthen its global community of professionals dedicated to supporting parents through modern parenting complexities. The PCI, recognized by Life Coach Magazine as a leader in parent coach training, offers a comprehensive year-long Parent Coach Certification® program that combines evidence-based strategies with well-researched coaching frameworks. This graduate-level training program, offered in partnership with Southern New Hampshire University, is currently accepting applications for its Spring 2025 term beginning in March.
McCabe's plans to introduce an affiliate program for coaches in early 2025 will further expand the platform's offerings and professional opportunities. For parents, the Powerful Parenting Collective provides access to extensive expertise and peer support that could lead to improved parenting strategies and outcomes. For parent coaches, it offers valuable networking and professional development opportunities, enabling skill refinement and expanded impact. As parent coaching continues evolving, initiatives like this collective are positioned to play crucial roles in shaping future family support services through enhanced collaboration between parents and professionals.
