CTI Certification Coaching/ICF Mentor Coaching (MCS)
Sometimes you require a coach to accompany you on a specific professional journey. CTI (Co-Active Training Institute) Certification and ICF Mentor Coaching (to earn or renew your credential), are two of those times.
I have been providing coaching to individuals pursuing these paths for 17 years, because I strongly believe in the value of this sort of learning, and keep myself steeped in the concepts and adaptations, so I can serve you with high quality Mentor Coaching in these two areas. I am currently training to achieve my ICF Mentor Coach Specialization (MCS) for both the ACC and PCC levels, and will be complete with this training prior to the Jan 1, 2027 mandate.
The CTI Certification program is a rigorous, intentional program intended to assist coaches in tasting mastery, and integrating CTI coaching tools in a deep way. Having a coach during CTI Certification has recently become optional, however it is well-documented that having a coach with you during this experience vastly increases success, integration and advancement both personally and educationally. Giving yourself a coach during Certification deepens your functional skillset while also providing mentoring and coaching on aspects of niche, business development, client attraction, confidence and other areas that may be new to you as a developing coach.
It is said that as coaches, we can only go as deep with our clients as we will go with ourselves, so allowing yourself a supported and targeted container for your own growth serves you long term, and serves your clients as well. Feeling what it truly feels like to transform inside a coaching container makes you a more aware, and intentional person, and coach. It is a commitment and gift that keeps on giving.
ICF Mentor Coaching is intended to be a time where you revisit your coaching skills, and challenge yourself to integrate and refine them in a new way. It invites you to come back to basics and consciously mix them with your current level of experience for the sake of a renewed, and heightened experience for your clients. Inside this Mentor Coaching relationship, your coaching is both grown and assessed for its adherence to the ICF core competencies, and your credential level. No matter how you are using your credentialed skill set, Mentor Coaching will assist you in refining your impact moving forward, and staying aligned with ICF principles while gaining or renewing your ACC credential, or up levelling to PCC.
Starting Jan 1, 2027 the ICF will not longer assess your recordings for the attainment of your credential, your MCS Mentor Coach will do that, which insures that you are receiving the support needed to truly integrate the ICF Core Competencies at a deep and conscious level, and are demonstrating developmental growth over time, not just in one recording, one time.
Providing quality support to coaches during their growth journey matters to me deeply. I have been doing this work for a looooong time, but being able to provide the mentoring and assessment needed to be effective within this new ICF framework, has asked me to grow as well, and I have willingly done so, and I look forward to diving in to this new mentoring and assessment process. We often work in a silo, and supportive and formative feedback is essential. Adding me as your coach during your CTI Certification or ICF journey, will provide you a customized and fluid mix of skills clarification, personal coaching to remove blocks to success, and direct mentoring to effectively navigate and maximize your learning experience. All of these will be provided with a strong relationship-based approach. I’ll be with you every step of the way, so you feel understood, supported, challenged and encouraged. I am deeply knowledgable and highly relational.
Working with an experienced coach like Leah helped me chart my path forward, and get really conscious about the skills I was developing. Even when we talk about my life, she integrates how this affects or widens my perspective as a coach. She reflects from both lenses seamlessly.
