Mentor Coaching

What is mentor coaching?

According to ICF:  “Mentor Coaching is a collaborative learning process through which coaches receive feedback based on observed or recorded sessions to support them in further developing their unique coaching style and coaching skills in alignment with the ICF Core Competencies.”

As such, Caroline offers a supportive space for you to:

  • Benchmark by exploring a range of ACC, PCC and MCC recordings (depending on your requirements).
  • Self-reflect on your own performance.
  • Examine your areas of strength and areas for future development.
  • Access a range of self-study materials to support your growth.
  • Engage in reflective dialogue around your own and a library of recorded coaching session.
  • Challenge yourself, recognise your coaching style, enhance your capabilities.
  • Receive written feedback mapped to the ICF BARS or Markers.

 

As a hunam-centric mentor coach, Caroline’s mission is to help other coaches grow so that they can, in turn, be the best possible coach for their clients.

I highly recommend Caroline as a coach mentor. She has supported me to achieve my ICF MCC certification but our sessions have given me so much more. She builds confidence, helps you connect deeply to your purpose and is extremely knowledgeable to all areas of coaching. We also laughed a lot, which helped me let go of needing to “get it right.” I was able to find my way and flow into my very best practice. As I said, Caroline is fabulous and if you are looking for a mentor coach then you have found a great one here. 🙂Karen Muir, MCC, MEd, Leadership Coach, UK

Caroline was one of my Mentor Coaches for my MCC credential as part of the CoachME faculty. It was an amazing journey with her, I felt comfortable, relaxed and so much more confident about submitting my MCC application. Her comments and targets were exactly the same as those from the ICF assessor! I am so grateful to have had Caroline as one of my mentor coaches.  Thank you for the amazing sessions!Anita Seman, MCC, Jakarta, Indonesia

What is required by the ICF credentialing process in relation to mentor coaching?

For credentialing purposes, ICF requires that Mentor Coaching should take place over at least three months which allows time for the coach to implement their targets for improvement.  This can be split into seven group mentoring sessions and three or more one-to-one sessions.

 

Working with Caroline has been extremely valuable for me. She pinpointed the areas of my coaching where I could improve in order to trigger even more reflection and change in the clients. What I liked a lot working with Caroline is that she not only helped me focus on areas where I could make a bigger difference by adjusting my approach; she also helped me recognize my strengths and how I should continue using them to make a strong impact with my clients. Caroline was really a great sounding board for me, she challenged me when it was necessary, and her mentoring definitely helped me make significant progress in my coaching sessions with clients. She is also a fun person to work with, she really acts as a servant of her mentees. I would recommend working with Caroline without hesitation.Pascal Maygnan, ACC, Experienced International CFO, Germany and France
