Mentor Coaching for ICF Credentialing

Confidently grow your skills, deepen your presence, and meet ICF requirements with a mentor who’s walked the path.

Coaching is about growth.

And just like the clients you serve, your journey to becoming a truly impactful coach deserves intentional support.

As a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) through the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and a former coach trainer with six years of experience in an accredited program, I understand both the art and science of coaching mastery.

Whether you're applying for your ACC, PCC, or renewing your credential, ICF requires more than hours on paper. They require a deep, integrated understanding of the ICF Core Competencies, and the ability to demonstrate coaching presence, partnership, and ethical excellence.

That’s where I come in.

With over six years as a coach trainer for an ICF-accredited training program and nearly a decade as a certified professional coach, I help you:

  • Refine your skills and coaching presence

  • Navigate the credentialing process with clarity

  • Step fully into the coach you're meant to become

This is about more than checking a box. It's about embodying your next level.

ICF Requirements Quick Reference

According to ICF requirements, Mentor Coaching must include:

  • Minimum of 10 hours of mentor coaching over at least 3 months

  • Must focus on the ICF Core Competencies (updated 2021 version)

  • May be delivered as 1:1 or group (this package is fully private)

  • Required for ACC, PCC, and credential renewals

Liz offered 1:1 support plus the opportunity to review my submission call (a huge bonus). That was the icing on the cake! It eased my worries knowing Liz had a background in reviewing ICF certification markers for passing calls, so she knew what to look for when listening for the skillset ICF is looking to see.
