Part 4 of a four part series by Amoráh Ross, MCC and Janet Harvey, MCC

Catapult your Coaching:
Engage with a Mentor Coach



Part 4: Become a Mentor Coach


Now more than ever the credibility of professional coaches worldwide requires unified alignment with ICF core coaching competencies. The world is savvier about professional coaching and its effectiveness for individuals, teams and organizations. As a result they expect professional coaches to consistently apply the coaching paradigm and rigorous standards of excellence in coaching skills.

A Mentor Coach co-creates opportunities for continuous learning and self-reflection as well as ongoing skills refinement tailored to a coach's inner landscape and learning style. In this way, a Mentor Coach engages in the role of a mentor and in the role of the coach simultaneously, using the coaching approach for creating actionable awareness and conscious choice for professional development.

Here are the key benefits to invest in your professional development to become a mentor coach.
  • Deepen your knowledge of core coaching competencies and capacity to observe demonstration
  • Improve your coaching skills as well as confidence and competency in recognizing and providing constructive feedback to coaches
  • Access specific instruction about the process of mentor coaching and apply it in class, in fieldwork with experienced peers and ultimately with coach clients
  • Refine what you listen for and gain skills in drawing out, supporting and widening the self reflective lens for coaches you mentor
  • Join a learning community of coaches dedicated to professionalism and learning
Maintaining an impeccable level of credibility for coaches includes hiring and working with a mentor coach periodically to enhance ongoing coach-specific education and professional credentialing processes. And, it is now a requirement for ICF credential renewal. If you find yourself inspired by supporting other coaches, becoming a trained mentor coach is a fantastic process to "pay it forward" to our profession, impacting the individuals you mentor and expanding the impact of the profession at large.

"What are the joys and assets coaches bring to their interactions especially those in a mentoring relationship? Communication based on respect, positive regard and compassion. What we bring as seasoned coaches and Certified Mentor Coaches is a collaborative versus hierarchal relationship. The result is more openness to feedback, faster learning that is sustained, and increased ownership and commitment to co-creative change."
