Membership Insurance
To improve our members’ benefits, the International Coach Guild is in partnership with Aon Risk Services offering to protect coaches against a wide range of risks that coaches may face in the coaching industry. These risks include professional indemnity, product liability and public liability. How can insurance help?
Consider the following scenarios:
-
You provide a coaching service to a client then they claim you have not delivered the service as contracted and are therefore seeking financial compensation. What now?
-
Aon’s policy protects you in the event of an alleged claim, covering both the legal costs of defending as well as any financial compensation sort.
-
Are you required as part of a commercial contract to have ‘public liability’ cover in case a member of the public gets injured? Aon include $10m public liability insurance as part of their policy which can be increased to $20m if required.
Minimum requirements for eligibility of Aon insurance:
-
You have to be either an Associate Member or a Recognised Member with the International Coach Guild
-

Vanessa Medling
What I love about the International Coach Guild (ICG) is it gives me an opportunity to connect with other coaches, I get to contribute to the group the things that are really important in my business and in my life and get some ideas and some feedback and really start a conversation with each other and I love that. It’s such an awesome group to be a part of because it’s about people wanting to be the best in our industry and regardless of all the connection I experience and the knowledge that I gain through connecting with my peers it’s even more than that. It’s things like knowing my insurance is taken care of, knowing I can contribute articles to a professional magazine, that’s read by so many people. It’s knowing that there’s the ICG room accessible to us to utilise, there are so many benefits or being part of this group and I’m really proud to be one of the Inaugural Board Members.

I’de just like to say thank you so much International Coach Guild (ICG) for having this outstanding community in which to be a part of. The ICG is a not for profit association, a body of coaches that has been set up by coaches, for coaches and that’s what I love about it.
All the focus is on the community and how we can benefit each other as well as the businesses that we hang out with, as well as the businesses that are aligning themselves with the ICG, for the benefit of coaching, for the benefit of their businesses and for the benefit of setting the highest standards within this community itself.
