This week is for all things orientation, and we’ll take time to outline everything you can expect as you embark on your journey towards becoming a Certified Professional Coach.

ORIENTATION INCLUDES:

Program Orientation Call 

Together, we’ll co-create our ways of working and cultivate a powerful, trust-filled container for the magical journey that lies ahead.

Q&A and Community Connection Session

In this facilitated session, we’ll answer any questions that have been percolating in your mind since your orientation call before you get to know the others in the program.

During this stage, you’ll learn how to lay the foundations for a successful Coach-Client relationship, become more aware of yourself, and discover the multiple layers of being that you’ll be working with to create lasting transformation in your own life and the lives of the clients you serve. 

The first two weeks will be predominantly theory-based, then you’ll jump right into coaching others in week three. This might feel pretty early to start practicing, but we know that the best way to embody your calling as a coach fully is to have real experience and practice through every module of the program. Practice is what builds mastery, so we start practicing, and you start getting feedback, right away.

Beyond gaining your Transformational Embodiment Coaching Certification Diploma, as a Professional Coach you have the option to gain your ICF credential. To do this, you must be mentored by a Master Coach which is an included part of this certification program.

Mentoring provides professional assistance in achieving and demonstrating the levels of coaching competency and capability demanded by the desired credential level, and takes place over an extended time (three-month minimum) in a cycle that allows for listening and feedback from the Mentor Coach while also allowing reflection and practice on the part of the individual being mentored.

Mentoring Coaching programs will run alongside your Certified Professional Coach Training Curriculum in small groups of no more than 10 students.

Each week every member of the group will listen to a student’s coaching session in advance of the call and reflect on it. Your ICF Mentor Coach will facilitate a productive and encouraging discussion to enhance the coach’s abilities. There is no assessment or ‘right or wrong’ here, it is an opportunity to greatly enhance your skills as a coach.

As part of mentor coaching, you’ll be required to submit two 30-minute recorded coaching sessions which will be shared with your small group. If you’re ready, you can begin your mentor coaching as early as week thirteen.

To apply for your ICF credential you must complete a minimum of 100 hours (70 paid) of coaching experience with at least eight clients following the start of your coach-specific training.
