ICF Mentor Coaching
Mentor Coaching: A Journey of Growth, Connection and Impact
My journey as a coach has been deeply shaped by the mentors who walked beside me, guiding, challenging and holding space for my evolution.
Having the right mentors allowed me to grow in ways I never imagined, helping me mature not only in skill, but also in emotional depth and presence. It taught me to integrate my head, heart and soul into my practice.
I understand the doubts, imposter syndrome and questions of worth that can arise while building a coaching practice and growing personally and professionally.
When models and structures are in your bones, you can begin to let go of them and bring more of who you are into your work.
Trust, Challenge and Fierce Love
A partnership that allows you to see yourself more clearly
One of the most powerful aspects of mentor coaching is the trust built within our partnership. When you are held in a space of safety, love and support, you become more open to new perspectives and new ways of working.
I offer effective feedback with care and intention, always coming from a place of fierce love. My purpose is to support you in embodying the full depth, breadth and width of who you are in this work.
Great mentoring, offered through a coaching approach, enables you to see yourself more clearly, expand beyond your limitations and step more fully into your potential.
As well as supporting credentialing requirements, mentor coaching transforms how you show up for the people you partner with, how you build your business and how you create impact in the world.
Even when you are not working towards a credential, mentor coaching can support you to become an even more effective and powerful coach.
If you are ready to deepen your coaching practice, elevate your skills and build a business aligned with your purpose, I would be honoured to walk this path with you.
Understanding the Process
What is ICF Mentor Coaching?
Mentor coaching is a collaborative process in which you receive coaching, observation and feedback on your coaching skills from an experienced ICF-credentialed mentor coach.
The process supports you in strengthening your ability to demonstrate the ICF Core Competencies at the appropriate credential level. It gives you space to recognise your strengths, explore areas for growth and develop a style that feels increasingly authentic.
Mentor coaching can support coaches preparing for an ACC, PCC or MCC performance evaluation, as well as experienced coaches who simply want to continue refining their practice.
Credentialing note: for routes where mentor coaching must be completed separately, the ICF requirement is 10 hours over at least three months. At least three hours must be one-to-one, and the remaining seven hours can be individual or in a group of no more than 10 participants.
