Mentor Coaching

Mentor coaching involves a student being coached on their coaching skills rather than on practice building, life balance or other topics unrelated to the development of a participant’s coaching skill. Mentoring is intended to serve as a development process for the participant that takes place in a repetitive cycle of receiving feedback regarding participant coaching, reflecting on this feedback, and practicing new skills. The focus must be on the development of skills using the ICF Core Competencies.

This class is required for those who need to fulfill the 10-hour mentor coaching requirement for the ICF ACC Level 1 credential, the ACC Portfolio Path application, or the ACC credential renewal.  Under the guidance and instruction of a qualified Mentor Coach, you will review all (8) updated ICF Core Competencies for deeper learning in a group setting and work one-on-one with the Mentor Coach to refine your individual coaching skills in preparation for the Performance Evaluation (if needed).  Resources will also be provided to prepare for the ICF Credential Exam and to complete the ICF ACSTH or Level 1 credential application or for ACC credential renewal application.  Per the ICF’s requirement, the program must take place over a minimum of a 3-month period.
