The Art and Science of Coaching
Mentor Coaching is focused on developing coaching skills in alignment with the ICF Core Competencies, rather than on business development, personal development, or supervision. It is required for ICF credentialing (ACC, PCC, MCC) and involves direct feedback and coaching from a mentor coach based on observed coaching sessions.
In alignment with the ICF Tamarra’s Mentor Coaching Program is:
Conducted over a period of at least three months
Includes a minimum of 10 hours of mentor coaching for credential applicants.
At least three of the 10 hours are one-on-one sessions focused on the goals, tasks, and desires of the coach. Many clients bring samples of recorded sessions to the calls to obtain additional feedback while others focus on increasing confidence and competence.
Focuses on enhancing a coach’s competency in accordance with ICF standards.
Involves feedback based on actual coaching sessions (recordings or live observations).
