COACH- MENTOR
Certified MCC Coach-Mentor
I received my ICF certification at the Masters level (MCC) in 2022. In 2023, I attended an advanced mentor training with Fran Fisher, MCC, a well-known and respected master coach, in her advanced certified Coach-Mentor, ACMC, training to become Certified Coach-Mentor. I continue my mastery journey with Fran and participate in monthly learning sessions with fellow MCC colleagues.
I’m deeply committed to growing and supporting the next generation of ICF Leadership Coaches. I have and am willing to work with coaches wanting to achieve the next ICF level of certification at the ACC and PCC levels and/or simply want to continue their own journey to coach mastery and personal and professional development.
I welcome the opportunity to support you on your continuous learning path.

This section outlines the structure, goals, and benefits of the Coach-Mentor process. Learn what to expect from mentorship, how sessions are conducted, and how feedback is delivered.
Why Mentorship Matters Early in the Coaching Journey
The Importance of Early Mentorship
It’s often said that as soon as you receive the certification from your ICF Coaching School, it’s wise to get yourself a Mentor. Having a Mentor early in your coaching journey means you can avoid the development of poor habits to be undone at the PCC and MCC levels. Of course, this will require a commitment of time, energy, curiosity and an openness to learning.
Setting Intentions for Growth
Goals for Your Mentorship Journey
If interested, I invite you to begin this journey with a couple of goals in mind: • To move and enhance your coaching mastery to a higher level • To leverage your strengths and competencies to provide even greater service to your clients • To put yourself in the position of a life-long learner as a coach
Learnings and Benefits of the Mentor Experience
What You Will Gain
Some learnings and benefits of this experience would include: • Develop a much deeper understanding of coaching skills • Develop a deeper understanding of the meaning of the ICF competencies and behaviors resulting in greater self-confidence • More clearly understand and appreciate the ICF Assessor’s expectations at the ACC, PCC and MCC levels • Hone and develop your coaching presence • Begin to understand your specific coaching style and the kind of clients who might benefit from a relationship with you
Mentorship Session Structure
Session Format and Environment
The mentoring sessions are for individuals and could include a limited number or preferably at least 6 sessions. The intent is to provide a safe environment and partnership that allows the individual to learn and experiment.
Coaching Review and Feedback Process
ICF-Based Feedback System
The mentoring has a structured process. The mentee will be asked to submit a recording of a coaching session of their choice. Both the Mentor and Mentee will assess the recording against specific ICF competencies and behaviors. Feedback will be delivered in writing and in a conversation, focusing on at least 2 strengths and a development area. This process will continue for all sessions.
