"I endorse this course as being: a) well-designed to immerse coaches in the process of exploring and deepening -- at multiple levels -- their understanding of the ICF's core coaching competencies; b) a dynamic co-created learning opportunity for individuals to self-direct and actively extend their own learning; and c) an exquisite model of mentoring, in-context, so that participants are able to ground their understanding of core mentor competencies (presence, collegiality, etc.)."

"Amazing! I took the course to better learn how to be a mentor coach, what I gained from the course was much more. Amoráh and her staff have developed a program that not only encouraged my learning the competencies of an effective mentor, but through discussion in the tele-class and the weekly triads, I was able to stretch myself as a coach and feel as though I am that much closer to being prepared for my next level of certification. I highly recommend the class to anyone wanting to learn how to be the best mentor possible!"

inviteCHANGE Purpose of Mentor Coaching

The purpose of mentor coaching is to be coach and mentor simultaneously. In this capacity, the mentor hears what is present in a coach’s skill set and facilitates what else is possible so that, over time, the coach rapidly and easily increases their facility and ability to artfully demonstrate the ICF core coaching competencies with excellence, confidence, competence and unique self-expression. A Mentor Coach co-creates opportunities for continuous learning and self-reflection as well as ongoing skills refinement tailored to the coach’s inner landscape and learning style.

inviteCHANGE Definition of Mentor Coach

Sourced from humility and a dedication to ego-less service, a mentor coach is a wise and trusted advisor influencing and inspiring excellence and coaching competency in others. Within the spirit of noble service and sacred trust, a mentor coach embodies a passionate commitment in equal parts to co-creation, to synergy, and to excellence, contributing to a dynamic legacy that serves the future of professional coaching with integrity, rigor and passion.
