ICF Mentoring

Grow the coach you already are

Ten one-on-one mentoring sessions for ACC and PCC coaches, grounded in the ICF Core Competencies.

More than a requirement

Mentor coaching is more than a box to check on your credential application. It is a chance to slow down, look closely at how you coach, and grow with intention.

As an ICF Mentor Coach Specialization (MCS) holder at both the ACC and PCC levels, I have walked alongside coaches at both stages of the credentialing journey. I know the questions, the uncertainty, and the real growth that can come from this work.

What we do together

Over 10 one-on-one mentoring sessions, we ground our work in the ICF Core Competencies. You will explore your unique strengths as a coach and develop the areas where you are ready to stretch.

Deep processing conversations and focused feedback on your recorded coaching sessions help you see your practice clearly, connect it to the competencies and BARS or Markers, and build skills that last beyond your application.

Our time together includes

  • 10 hours of individual mentor coaching, spread over at least three months, as ICF requires

  • Review of your recorded coaching sessions, with feedback tied to the ICF Core Competencies (and the PCC Markers for PCC candidates)

  • Reflective practice that helps you name your own coaching identity and style

  • Support as you prepare your credential application and performance evaluation

  • A signed mentor coaching verification when we finish

Why work with me

I have coached since 2014 and spent more than 30 years in education. I hold the PCC credential, a Master's in Evidence-Based Coaching, and the ICF Mentor Coach Specialization at both the ACC and PCC levels.

I also lead teacher cohorts through an ICF ACC-aligned certificate program and evaluate coaching sessions, so I understand the competencies from the mentor's side and the assessor's side. My approach draws on mindfulness, so our sessions make room for curiosity, presence, and honest reflection.
