Mentor Coaching
For coaches committed to the craft — and the credential
Most coaches treat Mentor Coaching as a requirement to fulfill. With me, you'll see it as the turning point it actually is.
Mentor Coaching is a requirement of every major coaching organization — the International Coaching Federation, the European Mentoring and Coaching Council, and the Association of Coaches all require a minimum of ten hours with a qualified Mentor Coach before a credential is awarded. But the requirement is the least interesting thing about it.
Coaching can be a lonely profession. And yet the work asks everything of you — your presence, your instincts, your willingness to keep growing even when no one is watching.
Mentor Coaching gives you somewhere to bring all of that. Not just your skills and your competencies, but your questions, your doubts, and the parts of your practice you haven’t been able to look at clearly on your own. This is a judgment-free space — a come as you are invitation to reflect, explore, and grow into the coach you’re becoming.
In my hands, Mentor Coaching isn’t administrative. It’s transformational.
More Than Competencies
This Work Is About The Entirety of Who You Are As A Coach — Not Just Your Skill Development.
Mentor Coaching respects and invites the full self of the coach. Coaching is an intimate art, relying on the strength of the partnership built between client and coach over time. This process carves out a judgment-free zone for reflection and collegial conversation around best practices and possibilities.
This is a come as you are invitation — to share your strengths, confess your fears, and wonder out loud about the questions your practice is raising. Creating safety through clear alliances and professional standards allows you the freedom to explore without judgment or attachment. Sometimes the most powerful thing is simply having space to be deeply listened to without interruption — with full spaciousness and genuine curiosity.
What We Work On
Here's What Our 10 Hours Together Will Cover.
- In-depth review of real coaching sessions against the ICF Professional Coaching Competencies
- Honest, grounded feedback on your coaching presence and practice
- Space to wonder out loud — about your clients, your habits, your instincts, and your edge
- Development of your coaching identity — not just your technique
- Exploration of who you are and how you show up as a coach — because coaching is an intimate art
- Preparation for your credentialing assessment with clarity and confidence
Non-credentialing coaches are equally welcome. The practice of recording and reviewing coaching sessions with a trained, experienced colleague yields rich professional development — regardless of your interest in the accreditation process.
How It Works
Straightforward, Rigorous, And Designed Around Your Credential Path.
The ten hours required for credentialing can be completed as a combination of one-to-one and small group sessions — a minimum of three hours must be one-to-one, and up to seven hours may be fulfilled in a group setting.
Session recordings are submitted to me for review, and subsequent sessions include deep exploration and competency mapping relative to each recording. We work at a pace that fits your timeline and credentialing requirements.
As a Master Certified Coach through the International Coaching Federation — the field’s highest credential level — I bring both the qualifications and the depth of experience to make every hour count. Three and six-month packages are available.
Note: While the goal of Mentor Coaching is in part to prepare you to successfully submit recordings at your desired accreditation level, participating in the process does not guarantee that submitted recordings will pass at your level of aspiration.
