About GCM Registry
Not a certification body. Not an accreditation scheme. An independent registry.
GCM Registry exists to make coaching and mentoring's social impact visible, verifiable, and permanent — for every organization, in every country.
Our Mission
Register. Verify. Recognize. Measure. Connect. Inspire.
GCM Registry is the common ground beneath every coaching and mentoring body — a neutral place where any organization, of any methodology or membership, can submit a social impact project for independent review and receive a permanent, publicly verifiable record of it.
What We Are — and Aren't
A neutral layer, not a competitor.
GCM Registry is
- An independent, neutral registry open to every country and methodology
- A manual, human-reviewed verification process
- A permanent public record — Registry ID, certificate, QR verification
- A free front door via the Explorer plan
GCM Registry is not
- A coaching certification or accreditation body
- A replacement for ICF, EMCC, or Association for Coaching
- A training or coaching marketplace
- An automated or algorithmic approval system
Governance
Reviewed by people, accountable to a public standard.
Every submission passes through registry administrators before verification. Awards are decided by an independent jury. Our governance framework, ethics policy, and annual reports are published for anyone to review.
