At a certain stage of professional growth, knowing the ICF Core Competencies is no longer the challenge. The real work begins when coaches seek to embody them consistently — in presence, listening, partnership, and ethical discernment.
Mentor coaching at this level is not about correction or instruction. It is a reflective, rigorous process that supports depth, integration, and professional maturity.
When preparing for my MCC credential, I chose to work through a focused mentoring approach rather than broad, expensive programs. This allowed me to work deeply on my specific strengths and areas for development, support my move toward mastery, and pass on my first attempt — and it’s the same mentoring philosophy I now offer to coaches.
10 mentoring hours over 3+ months
3 individual + up to 7 group hours
Must be at or above your credential level
Knowing the Core Competencies intellectually is rarely the challenge. The real work lies in embodying them consistently — moment by moment — in real coaching conversations and recorded sessions.
Completing the required hours is only the starting point. Embodiment requires growth in presence, confidence, and professional identity, so the competencies are lived naturally rather than performed.
Depending on where you are in your credentialing journey and how you learn best, you can choose between individual or group mentor coaching.
Individual Mentoring is best when you want focused, personalized feedback on your coaching practice. This path allows us to work closely with your recordings, identify specific competency edges, and support targeted development aligned with your credentialing goals.
Ideal for coaches who learn best through practice and observation. This format fulfills up to 7 group mentoring hours for your ICF requirement.
Watch, learn, and deepen your understanding of how ACC/PCC/MCC markers show up in real coaching—without performance pressure.
Practice a live session (or bring a recording) and receive direct, competency-aligned feedback.
Guidance grounded in the highest global standards.
No fluff—just the specific insights you need to grow.
I use the method that helped me pass my MCC on the first attempt.
Trusted by coaches at ACC, PCC, and MCC levels.
A calm, supportive space to explore your edges without judgment.
For Individual Mentoring, yes. To provide an accurate review against ICF markers, I require both the audio recording and a written transcript. For Group Mentoring, if you are coaching live in the session, no transcript is needed.
Absolutely. In fact, this is the best and most cost-effective strategy. By combining 7 group hours (for peer learning) with 3 individual sessions (for private recording review), you get the most comprehensive preparation possible—plus, you receive a 20% discount when you book this bundle.
Once you complete your hours, I will provide you with a formal Confirmation Letter listing the dates and hours of our work. You will use this to fill out your ICF application log, and it serves as your official proof should your application be selected for an audit.
and let’s map out the path toward your credential.
