(3B2B2A1C10A) ICF competency framework can be improved

The (3B2B2A1C10) ICF Core Competencies as at 2019 make sense, especially since these were developed based on research from a global study of professional coaches. These line up with what you would expect from coaching principles and from my personal experience as a coach and coachee. Although I am not ICF-credentialed, I refer to and use these competencies myself.

In other words, I think this is a great start that can be improved upon.

As an HR practitioner, I think that while it does give a sense of what 'good looks like', I am more used to competency and capability frameworks listing levels (Thinking back to working on a capability framework for one of the largest Ministries in New Zealand).

As noted by [source:: @greenECampusOntarioOpenCompetency2021], the journey to competence unfolds over time and progresses non-linearly. When the competency framework can describe expectations according to levels of proficiency, this scaffold in an expectation of growth and development.
