“Mentor Coaching consists of coaching and feedback in a collaborative, appreciative and dialogued process based on an observed or recorded coaching session to increase the coach’s capability in coaching, in alignment with the ICF Core Competencies.” (ICF Definition). As a result Mentor Coaching will focus on how to improve and integrate the Coaching Core Competencies into your Coaching practice.

Mentoring provides professional assistance in achieving and demonstrating the levels of coaching competency and capability demanded by the desired credential level. (ICF Website). As a result we will not just go through deepening the understanding of the Coaching Competencies via open discussions, but you will also receive detailed feedback for your coaching recorded sessions. 

Mentor Coaching should take place over an extended time (three-month minimum) in a cycle that allows for listening and feedback from the Mentor Coach while also allowing reflection and practice on the part of the individual being mentored. Therefore you will have enough time to integrate the concepts and above all to put them into practice.

In order for you to be able to apply for ICF Credentials you need the minimum hours of Coaching Training required by ICF. More details can be found here: https://coachfederation.org/icf-credential
