ROME, NY – February 3, 2026 — Tricia Sticca, a leadership coach known for her bold,
optimistic, and action-forward approach to coaching, has officially earned her Professional
Certified Coach (PCC) credential through the International Coaching Federation (ICF), the gold standard for professional coaching worldwide.
This credential represents a high level of competence, experience, and ethical practice in the coaching profession. The ICF’s PCC designation is awarded only to coaches who demonstrate mastery in applying core competencies and uphold the highest standards of professionalism and ethics.
I believe we all have our best answers inside of us," says Sticca. "Our choices are one of the most valuable assets we have. Coaching is not about giving advice; it’s about helping clients find clarity, courage, and confidence to move forward."
Sticca partners with small business owners, middle managers, and senior leaders to help them achieve more fulfillment and less stress in both work and life. Her clients often experience breakthroughs in agency, empathy, confidence, and communication. "One of my favorite shifts to witness is when a client stops avoiding difficult conversations. It’s rarely as hard as they think it will be, and it often changes everything.
As a Leadership Coach based in Rome, NY, Sticca is the co-founder of Success Circle, a
community of Mohawk Valley women who harness their God-given talents to take bold action, overcoming burnout, financial strain, and overwhelm, while having fun. She also works locally as an associate coach for Emergent, a leadership development firm
serving Central New York organizations, and coaches Fortune 500 executives and rising
leaders internationally through her partnership with Skillsoft. Clients have described her as "the Ted Lasso of professional coaches" and praised her for instilling confidence, refocusing priorities, and helping them see new possibilities for their careers and lives.
One client shared, "Tricia helped me build trust with a new leader whom I’d struggled to connect with. Now, our conversations are easier, and our relationship is on solid ground.
With her PCC certification, Sticca joins a distinguished group of coaches recognized globally for excellence and integrity. “Professional coaching, as credentialed by the ICF, carries great responsibility,” she says. “It’s guided by values, competencies, and ethical practices, all to ensure the client experiences meaningful transformation.”
