If you are a trained professional coach who is working on elevating your skill with ICF credentials, you know how challenging it can be to prepare.
You’ve probably struggled with questions like these:
- How do I get started with my credential application?
- What’s the best way to track my coaching hours?
- Do I need to write the Coach Knowledge Assessment (CKA)?
- I haven’t written an exam in years! How should I prepare?
- Do mentor coaches review recordings for ICF applications?
- How do I get feedback on my coaching?
- Where can I learn the new ICF Coach Competencies?
- How will my recorded coaching sessions be evaluated?
- What’s the best way to evaluate my own recordings?
- How can I tell if my coaching is meeting the ICF standards?
You are not alone. The number of coaches seeking ICF credentials has grown exponentially over the last few years. Coaching clients, whether individuals or organizations are increasingly requiring professionally trained coaches who are credentialed.
Wouldn’t it be a big relief to know that you could work on a regular basis with a mentor coach and a group of coaching colleagues toward a common goal…to grow your coaching skills and get your first, or next credential?
Wouldn’t it be a bonus if you could earn ICF Continuing Education Units, and align your coaching with ICF standards of performance, no matter what your credential goal?
What if you could observe a mentor coach debriefing recorded coaching sessions, and have your recordings reviewed in the group too?
With Cathy Shaughnessy, MCC and ICF Assessor, leading the way you can meet your credentialing challenges head-on, deepen your understanding of the ICF Competencies, and become the exceptional coach your clients need you to be.
Here’s what coaches have said about working with Cathy:
“What a positive, enriching experience it is to work with Cathy. She guided me through the confusing steps of PCC re-certification through ICF with grace and humor. I was able to fly through the process and learned a great deal on how to improve my coaching.”
“Cathy was able to take the group through the competencies in a very engaging way, and my understanding of the markers and competencies grew deeply as a result! She is clearly very skilled as a coach and her supportive demeanor allowed me to be open and honest about my struggles.”
“Cathy is truly gifted in the art of mentor coaching. I recently worked with Cathy as a step in my own certification and found my mentor coaching sessions with Cathy to be the most informative and transformative element of my own coaching journey.”
“Cathy came across to me as a divine intervention in my journey of coaching. As my Mentor Coach, she refined my rough edges with utmost care and diligence. She is a reservoir of knowledge and wisdom. As a coach she has an extraordinary command of coaching skills and a miraculous ability to pass on the skills gained by her over several years of coaching experience. She is truly a grand master in the field of coaching.”
Now, you can have the benefit of regular access to coach competency development with a trained Master Certified Coach all year long, so you can keep on growing!
