ICF Mentor Coaching.
ICF mentor coaching is one of the most effective ways to enhance your coaching skills immediately.
Whether or not you need mentor coaching to renew or level-up your ICF credential, mentor coaching will start to enhance every coaching conversation with your clients.
1:1 virtual mentor coaching for ICF ACC and PCC coaches according to the ICF's approach (which can be found here).
1 hour individual sessions dedicated entirely to you and your professional and personal growth alongside the ICF core competencies and PCC markers.
You decide the number of sessions and the pace of those sessions. (When ten sessions are needed to meet ICF requirements, then we must spread the sessions across a three-month period or longer.)
The primary focus of ICF mentor coaching is to listen to and discuss your strength and stretch areas based on a recorded coaching session (or I observe you coaching a client).
You receive access to a private client platform to manage your topics as well as keep track of all the gains you make.
Any issues that come up and are better supported by coaching supervision must be excluded in order to comply with ICF requirements.

“Mentor Coaching with Lora is an enriching, and unexpectedly fun experience!
As it’s an ICF requirement to have completed 10 hours of mentor coaching in order to renew my accreditation, I very much approached the mentor coaching as a necessary evil; something that I had to fit into my schedule and ‘get done’ in order to maintain my credential. As a former lawyer turned coach, remaining in compliance is a huge deal for me, and I’m pretty sure that was the only thing that kept me motivated to go ahead with it.
What I knew before I started was certain: it wouldn’t be fun. In truth, it would be excruciatingly uncomfortable to listen to recordings of me coaching. I’d see, and my mentor coach would see, just how much I wasn’t doing this coaching thing well, how much of an imposter I am, and how far I was falling short of ICF standards.
But how wrong I was!
My experience with Lora has completely changed my perceptions of myself and my coaching (and then some!). In fact, it’s been such a rich experience to date that I’m writing this testimonial before having completed all my mentor coaching sessions
From the moment I had my first call with Lora to establish whether to engage her as my mentor coach, I felt at ease, and knew she would be the right person to guide me through the learning and - potentially terrifying - journey ahead. As a former lawyer Lora validated my “legal-to-coaching” background and understood the many challenges (and opportunities) this transition brings.
Together we’ve dug into the detail of the ICF competencies, we’ve held paradoxes, we’ve explored industry standards in light of ICF requirements. We’ve uncovered some of my coaching blind-spots too, but always in a compassionately challenging and honest, forward-looking way which has left me feeling so much more competent and confident than I felt before I began the mentor coaching process.
Lora’s modelling of the coaching process through her mentor coaching is simultaneously mind-bending and inspiring, and has set new benchmarks for me in terms of what is possible as I develop as a coach in service of my own clients.
Lora is an exceptional catalyst for coaching, and personal, growth, with a professional zest few possess.
I hope to work with her for many years in the future!”
