Are you looking for ways to connect with other coaches who place a high value on continuous learning and skill development?
Do you plan to renew or apply for your ACC and need ICF mentor coaching?
Do you enjoy opportunities to participate in and observe coaching demos and contribute to discussions exploring the ICF Core Competencies and Code of Ethics?
If you answered “YES!” to any of the above, the Monthly ICF Group Mentor Coaching Circle might be a great fit for you!
On the second Tues of every month (exception: Sept 2022 will be third Tues), join us for a 2-hour group mentoring Zoom call that’s focused on supporting you in becoming the most confident coach you can be. The group will be limited to no more than six participants to facilitate greater participation and learning. Hours will count towards ICF requirements for mentor coaching for credentialing and renewal purposes (up to 7 hours of the 10 required hours can be in a group).
What to Expect
Each month’s session will highlight a particular aspect of the ICF Code of Ethics or ICF Core Competencies. You’ll have access to a session-specific worksheet in a shared Google Drive folder to facilitate session preparation, personal reflection, and learning. Approx 45-60 minutes of the monthly two-hour Zoom call features a “fishbowl” peer coaching session that includes mentoring. The remaining time is devoted to teaching and open discussion of each month’s topic.
Here’s a typical session agenda (times are approximate and structure subject to change based on feedback):
- Greeting and Centering (10 min; often a tool or idea is shared you can use with 1:1 clients or groups)
- Competency Overview (10-15 min; one ICF competency is introduced and explored)
- Coaching Demo (45-60 min; in-session, live peer coaching with preparatory mentoring and debrief)
- Competency Conversation (25 min; group discussion based on a reflection exercise offered in advance of the session)
- Closing (remaining time; shared learning and commitments)
This is an OPEN group, meaning that participants will likely vary from month to month, depending on who registers. Over the years of doing group mentor coaching, I’ve learned that seemingly “random” groups come together exactly as they should. During the Coaching Demo time, you will either be coach (voluntarily!), client, or observer. In registering for the session(s), coaches agree to honor confidentiality, engage fully, support one another through offering encouragement and constructive feedback, and come ready to learn and stretch. Those shared agreements are the basis of creating a space of trust and safety. Coaches are also asked either to be currently enrolled in or have completed coach training.
Advance registration for all sessions is required.

Program Investment
- Single Monthly Group Session: $175
- 1:1 Mentoring Session Add-on: $225/60-min session (can include recording review)
Enrollment for the monthly sessions will be done on an ongoing basis; you can register month-to-month or register in advance for upcoming sessions.
