Mentor coaching for coaches pursuing or renewing an ICF credential

Strengthen your coaching and prepare with confidence for ACC or PCC review.

Mentor coaching helps you meet ICF requirements while strengthening how the competencies show up in your coaching practice. Mentor coaching hours can be applied toward ICF credential applications or renewal requirements.

Mentor coaching can help you

Meet ICF mentor coaching requirements for credential application or renewal
Understand what assessors are listening for in credential review conversations
Receive detailed feedback aligned with ACC or PCC markers
Identify strengths and areas for development in your coaching
Prepare recordings for submission if relevant to your application path
Navigate the credentialing process with greater clarity and confidence

Format

I offer mentor coaching individually. You can complete the 10 mentor coaching hours required for credential application or renewal with me, or schedule only the number of hours you need. The number of sessions depends on what you need. After we talk about what you’re working toward, I can suggest an approach and pricing that fits.

How mentor coaching sessions are structured

Mentor coaching sessions focus on how the ICF competencies are expressed in your coaching conversations and how they are interpreted in credential review.

Depending on your goals, sessions may include:

Reviewing excerpts from recordings together
Practising coaching and reflecting on the competencies in real time
Taking a closer look at a specific competency you want to strengthen
Bringing tools or approaches you are using and connecting these more clearly to the markers

In our work together, we look closely at what is already working in your coaching and where small adjustments can strengthen your readiness for ACC or PCC review.

“I’m so grateful to have worked with Isabeau as my mentor coach during my ACC renewal process. She provided nonjudgmental support as we explored specific ways for me to grow and develop, both within the ICF core competencies and in areas unique to my work in higher education. I appreciated her insightful feedback on my recorded coaching sessions as well as her guidance in intentionally aligning my strengths (CliftonStrengths) with my coaching practice. Her support as a trusted mentor and as a coach were both critical at this stage of my coaching journey, as I eventually work towards the PCC credential.”

– KATHERINE IN-YOUNG LEE, PHD, ACC, HIGHER ED COACH & FOUNDER OF RISE WITH CLARITY

“I have been fortunate to receive Isabeau Iqbal’s mentor coaching over the past two years, beginning during my coach training program, where she served as one of our mentor coaches. What I appreciate most about Isabeau is her ability to hold the full spectrum of coaching competencies while meeting each coach exactly where they are. Her feedback consistently highlighted my strengths while helping me see opportunities to expand my range and deepen my impact. Rather than focusing on what was missing, she helped me recognize the many ways I was already serving clients effectively while inviting me to grow into an even more versatile and authentic coach.”

– SUE KELLER, DMD (DOCTOR OF MEDICINE IN DENTISTRY), ACC
