Mentoring
Refining the art of coaching in community, reflection, and relationship.
Great coaching gets better when we really look at it.
Mentoring has been part of my work for decades. Before I was mentoring coaches, I was teaching teachers and training trainers. I’ve always loved that particular edge of learning: you already know how to do the work, and now we get to look more closely at how you do it, what’s working, where you get tangled, and what becomes possible when you trust yourself more.
That’s mentor coaching for me. We listen to actual coaching, we get curious, and we work from there.
A quick PSA for coaches
ICF mentor coaching is changing in 2027.
Beginning January 1, 2027, coaches pursuing ACC, PCC, or MCC credentials will need to complete their mentor coaching with someone who holds the ICF Mentor Coaching Specialization at the appropriate level.
I hold the MCS at the ACC, PCC, and MCC levels.
Beginning April 1, 2027, there is another significant change for ACC and PCC coaches applying through the Portfolio path. Instead of completing mentor coaching and then submitting recordings for a separate ICF Performance Evaluation, your coaching skills will be assessed and documented throughout the mentor coaching process.
For MCC candidates, I can mentor and assess your coaching at the MCC level, while ICF continues to conduct the formal MCC Performance Evaluation.
Renewing your credential? Mentor coaching can also count toward your required Core Competency CCEs. ACC coaches are required to complete 10 hours of mentor coaching for renewal, and PCC and MCC coaches may apply up to 10 hours of mentor coaching toward their Core Competency CCE requirement.
That’s the short version.
Here’s how we can work together:
Group Mentor Coaching
There is something powerful about listening to coaching in community. You learn from your own sessions, of course, but you also begin hearing things in everyone else’s. Different coaching styles reveal different possibilities, and someone else’s session can suddenly illuminate something in your own.
We work with real coaching, not hypotheticals. We listen, notice, talk about what happened, experiment, and then you coach again.
The program includes:
-
7 hours of small-group mentor coaching
-
3 individual mentor coaching sessions
-
Review of recorded coaching
-
Credential-level feedback and assessment
-
Deep work with the ICF Core Competencies
-
Required mentor coaching documentation
-
Limited to 10 coaches

Individual Mentor Coaching
Individual mentor coaching gives us ten hours to go more deeply into your particular strengths, habits, questions, and edges.
You’ll bring recordings and we’ll listen together. I’ll tell you what I’m hearing. Sometimes it’s a competency issue. Sometimes you’re working too hard. Sometimes there’s something interesting happening and you haven’t trusted it enough to follow it. And sometimes you’re doing something beautifully and don’t even know you’re doing it.
Over the ten hours, you take what you’re learning back into your coaching, practice it, and return with something new. For ACC and PCC Portfolio candidates applying under the new process beginning April 1, 2027, our work also includes the required credential-level assessment and documentation of your demonstrated coaching skills.
