ICF Mentor Coaching



Mentor Coaching for Curious, Committed Coaches. Advance your ICF credential—and your confidence—through a supportive, skill-sharpening partnership.

Whether you’re on the path to your ACC or PCC credential—or simply ready to deepen your coaching presence—this program offers more than feedback. It’s an invitation to sharpen your skills, reflect with intention, and grow in community. Together, we explore how your natural strengths, lived experience, and evolving awareness can help you embody the ICF Core Competencies with more precision and ease.

I offer both Group Mentor Coaching programs and 1:1 sessions that meet ICF’s requirements for credentialing and renewal.

  • For credential-seeking coaches ready to learn with and from others.

    Our small-cohort Group Mentor Coaching program includes 7 hours of live group mentor coaching and 3 hours of 1:1 sessions over a 90-day period, meeting the ICF requirement for credential renewal or advancement. Each group session includes live or recorded coaching demonstrations, tailored feedback grounded in the Core Competencies and PCC Markers, and peer learning that expands your awareness and accelerates your growth. Think of it as a courageous lab for refining your presence, stretching your skills, and celebrating your evolution.

    Who This Is For:
    The coach who wants to grow—not just in title, but in substance. Maybe you’re seeking your first ICF credential or preparing to renew or advance. Maybe you want clearer feedback to strengthen your coaching, break old habits, or step into your next level with grounded confidence. If you value curiosity, depth, community, and a little light-hearted humanity, you’re in the right place.

Each option is grounded in deep trust, clear ethics, and a commitment to your development as a coach who makes a meaningful difference. This process is both supportive and rigorous. Together, we create a learning space where your coaching style is honored, your edges are supportively challenged, and your potential as a practitioner can truly shine as we approach feedback as a powerful mirror—not a judgment—reflecting your skill, presence, and room for growth.

All the details* for inquiring minds:

*Frequently asked questions worth reading!

  • Coaching is a partnership designed to spark insight and catalyze meaningful forward movement. Unlike consulting or advising, coaching doesn’t offer “the answers.” Instead, we co-create an expansive space for new thinking, where you’re seen as naturally creative, resourceful, and whole. Together, we explore the patterns, stories, and choices that shape your experience—so you can live and lead with more intention and impact.

    We’ll slow down just enough to notice what matters most to you, and move forward from there with purpose.

  • Coaching with me offers a committed container designed to hold space for real reflection and sustainable change.

    • Session Duration: 60 minutes

    • Session Frequency: approximately every 2 weeks

    • Engagement Length Options:

      • 3 months (6 sessions)

      • or 6 months (12 sessions)

    Engagements include beginning, middle, and end-point alignment exercises and reflection. After an initial 3- or 6-month engagement, clients can continue coaching month-to-month, sign up for an extension package, or schedule individual sessions as they wish.

  • Not necessarily, but it helps. Many clients find the richest sessions happen when they show up with something on their heart or mind—an ongoing tension, a burgeoning dream,  a challenging decision, a feeling they can’t quite name. From there, we’ll clarify what feels most important to you and explore what’s possible. That said, sometimes the most powerful moments arise when clients come in unsure, and we work together to uncover what’s beneath the surface.

  • Each session is adynamic collaboration. Here's the general arc:

    • We’ll begin by landing on a meaningful topic and outcome for our time together.

    • We’ll explore your landscape—thoughts, feelings, patterns, and possibilities—guided by your goal for the session.

    • We’ll close by collecting and augmenting your new insights and identifying significant actions or questions to carry forward.

    You’ll leave with new awareness, increased momentum, and a greater sense of self-trust.

  • Coaching happens in the session, but it comes alive between them. Some clients commit to specific actions or experiments. Others leave with reflection questions or new ways of observing themselves. I’ll never assign homework, but I’ll absolutely help you design it (or even offer a challenge for you to accept, decline, or counter-offer)—if that’s what serves your growth.

  • That’s part of the learning. Your follow-through (or lack of it) tells us something valuable—not about your worthiness, but about what works, what doesn’t, and what’s really going on. There’s no shame here, only curiosity. We’ll work with whatever shows up.

  • Not by default. Instead, you’re encouraged to take notes, and to set aside 10–15 minutes after each session to journal, reflect, or capture your insights and commitments. That simple act of integration makes a world of difference.

  • Yes. Coaching is built on trust, confidentiality, and respect. ICF MCC coaches adhere to the highest standards of ethics, including clarity around scope, consent, and boundaries. My commitment is to hold space for your full humanity—with warmth, rigor, and nonjudgment—and your courage to step into that space amplifies the power of the learning.

  • Coaching isn’t advice in disguise. It’s not therapy, consulting, or mentoring—though it may sometimes feel just as deep, strategic, or affirming. At its core, coaching is a thought partnership: a space where you get to slow down, reflect honestly, and hear yourself more clearly. As an ICF Master Certified Coach (MCC)¹, my role isn’t to tell you what to do. It’s to help you make meaning, see patterns, and move forward with clarity and ownership.

    Where consultants bring expertise, mentors offer experience, and therapists explore the past to increase our self-awareness, coaching focuses on your present and your possibilities. We’ll ask: What’s working? What’s ready to shift? What kind of leader (or human) do you want to be now? With MCC-level coaching, you can expect masterful listening, respectful challenge, and tools that help you reconnect to your own wisdom—because ultimately, your life and leadership are yours to design.

    It’s not about having all the answers. It’s about having a space safe enough, focused enough, and expansive enough to find your most resonant ones.

    1—The International Coaching Federation (ICF) — the world’s leading organization dedicated to advancing the coaching profession — defines coaching as: “Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”


Whether you're refining your skills, applying for a credential, or coming back to your coaching roots with fresh perspective, mentor coaching is a space for real growth.
