WHY KEEP YOUR META-COACH LICENSE CURRENT?

It was a strange question. At least I thought it as strange. “Why should I keep up my license as a Meta-Coach? Why renew it each year?” I say it struck me as strange because when I consider all of the personal investment to reach certification level that is required to be licensed as a professional coach, as a Meta-Coach, for me it would think it strange to not renew it. Why give up something that I invested time, money, and effort into attaining?

From time to time I get a notice from the State of Colorado for my license as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and even though I closed my practice in 1996, I still pay the $250 for the license renewal. I do that, in part, precisely because of the investment I have in it— the many years and the tens-of-thousands of dollars to reach it. Also, if I let it go, it would take a lot to reinstate it.
