(Yes, we’re that picky.)
-
Experts must have at least 10+ years of professional experience and 5+ years in coaching, advising, or direct client work. We verify everything-resumes, Linkedln, and references.
-
Experts must hold a 4-year degree in a relevant field and carry certifications or licenses like ICF, LCSW, LMFT, LPC. NBHWC, RDN, JD, CFP®, or Doula/End-of-Life credentials
-
We prioritize approaches grounded in peer-reviewed research, proven models, and well-documented results. Experts must demonstrate that their tools are informed by credible sources, not just personal opinion or trend-based advice.
-
We evaluate demonstrated impact through verified client feedback, thirdparty references, and patterns of sustained, trust-based relationships over time.
-
We assess for qualities that reflect emotional intelligence, relational presence, adaptability, and a commitment to collaborative support. These attributes are evaluated through interviews, assignments, and professional interactions. If we wouldn't personally seek their guidance, they are not invited to join.
