KEY CONCEPTS

THE DIRECTION OF COACHING

The difference between beginning coaches and experienced coaches lies in the direction of coaching. You will learn how to evoke shifts in your client that will transform their mindset, thinking, behaviours and habits

REFLECTION & FEEDBACK

Coach mentoring is an integral part of mastery. You will receive 10 hours of mentoring in your development from experienced ICF coaches of PCC/ MCC level.

AGREEMENT MASTERY

Masterful coaches excel in this competency. They help their client find purpose, meaning and clarity of their goals by exploring the client’s goal ecology. The outcome of the session for the client is normally only a remedy of their problem.
