Holding True by Emerge Empowered

Welcome, Converge coaches.

I'm building Holding True to give coaches honest, evidence-based feedback on their real sessions, against the ICF competencies. Before it opens, I want to hear from you.

  • ✓  Two minutes, nine questions.
  • ✓  No commitment and no cost. Joining the pilot is an invitation, and you can say no anytime.
  • ✓  Your first review is on me when Holding True opens. Share feedback on your review and get a second one free.
  • ✓  Answer to join the founding pilot, which runs in early 2027.
  • ✓  Your answers shape what gets built first.

It's a pilot, so Holding True may not be in its final version yet. Pilot reports and your feedback will be used to fine-tune the tool.

Your privacy

This survey. It asks for your name, your email and your answers, nothing about your clients. Your answers are collected through Typeform and used only to shape Holding True. If you stop partway, your name and email are still saved. Your email is used only to tell you about it. I don't sell or share either.

Holding True itself. Nothing uploads until you confirm your client agreed to recording and AI-assisted review. Names, employers, places and contact details are removed in your browser, and you check the transcript before anything is sent. Transcripts are deleted as soon as your report is complete. Anthropic, whose AI writes the review, deletes its copy within 30 days and doesn't use it to train AI. Reports are kept, de-identified, for research and to improve Holding True.

Share my answers

I'll only use your answers to shape Holding True and your email to tell you about it. No client information is collected here.

Answer this survey by November 30, 2026, and your first single-session review is free when Holding True opens. Use it within 60 days of launch. Share feedback on your review and get a second one free. There is no cap on the free reviews. The founding pilot runs in early 2027, and everyone who answers can join it. Pilot reviews and feedback are used to fine-tune Holding True. The free reviews follow the same client consent rules as any review.
