Personalized Mentor Coaching, One-on-One
It’s a joy and a privilege to work with fellow coaches! Deepen your coaching skills and self-growth through a rich mentoring experience where you will feel supported, challenged and inspired.
I am a Registered ICF Mentor Coach, with extensive mentoring experience. In addition to private mentor coaching, I volunteered for nearly twenty years as a mentor coach (and client coach), for One to One: Women Coaching Women, a nonprofit that provides pro bono coaching to women emerging from challenging circumstances.
I am also a long-time volunteer mentor for the Insight Meditation Community of Washington, D.C. Through IMCW, I help people with diverse backgrounds and beliefs to strengthen their meditation practice and incorporate. mindfulness into daily life.
ICF Mentor Coaching
• Our framework will be the ICF Core Competencies and Code of Ethics
• We will also focus on the specific coaching competencies linked to an ACC or PCC credential, whichever applies to you; plus if you’d like, the competencies at the next level
• If you are preparing for a credentialing evaluation, we’ll give this special attention
Clarity about the Coaching Process
• Whatever your goal in mentor coaching, the ICF standards will be one of our touchstones
• Improve your ability to clearly explain what coaching is (and is not)
• Become more adept at drawing lines between coaching and therapy
• Recognize and release attachment to your clients’ choices so you can fully support them in their own explorations and decision-making
• Use powerful questions more effectively, coming from a place of genuine curiosity
Greater Confidence and Fluidity
• Help your clients maintain focus on the present and future, stay on topic and appreciate how incremental learning builds to measurable progress
• Trust your intuition to head in new directions
• Identify patterns in a client’s story to help create greater awareness
• Learn to move through discomfort and be “all in”
• Increase your capacity to create a safe container of trust and compassion, even when tackling tough challenges
What You Can Expect from Me
• Modeling best practices for coaching in our own sessions, with lots of space for questions and feedback
• Role playing and other creative strategies to expand your coaching horizons
• Respectful candor with great attention to detail and clarity, and a touch of humor
• Stretch past your comfort zone while feeling deeply supported and understood
