what is MENTOR coaching?

Mentor Coaching is a developmental coaching process in which coaching is observed and objectively assessed against a set of criteria or competences.  The aim is to raise the quality of coach skills and approaches, so they are the best they can be.

It differs from ‘supervision’ in that the focus of mentor-coaching is your coaching and its impact on the client; ‘supervision’ is about the coach, rather than the coaching, and is a more subjective process, addressing whatever a coach might choose to bring. So, the focus of mentor-coaching is your coaching as it happens, where both mentor-coach and coach access the same material ‘live’ and ‘in the moment’.

How will this SESSION work?

In an intimate cohort of no more than six coaches, you will take turns to coach each other while your mentor-coach, and your peers, partner to observe your coaching.  You will then receive constructive observations on your coaching, with reference to agreed benchmark competencies, to support a reflective discussion for everyone to improve effectiveness and power as a coach. 

WHAT TO EXPECT:

• An initial contracting, agreeing how we work together
• Reflection and implementation planning for your coaching practice
• Guidance on the real challenges of observation and offering feedback
• Exploration of the agreed benchmarks for measurement
• Practicing coaching
• Observing others coaching
• Review and feedback on your own and others’ coaching
• Identification of strengths and opportunities for on-going learning

If you are applying for ICF credentials, or need to renew, this session is valid for 2 hours group, towards the required 10 hours of Mentor Coaching.
