PSCA Prism Award
· Celebrating Excellence and Business Achievement Through Coaching

The Puget Sound Coaches Association Prism Award is presented in recognition of business and non-profit organizations attaining high levels of excellence and business achievement through their commitment to coaching as a leadership strategy. The presentation of the Prism Award is made to the organization while also recognizing and acknowledging the coaches partnering with them to achieve their successes.

 

Prism Award Nomination Process

We invite coaches to nominate organizations for the PSCA Prism Award who have actively included coaching as part of their leadership strategy and help ensure the organization does indeed meet the eligibility criteria for nomination.

The nominating coach takes the lead in assisting the organization in completing the Prism Award Nomination Form and submits the resulting form to the PSCA Prism Award Selection Committee. The Selection Committee then reviews the completed Nomination Forms and conducts organizational interviews to determine the winner.
