This is where, as coaches, we get to support transformation in rooting down so deeply that it opens new ways of being and possibilities that last long after our coaching package with a client is complete.

EMBODY INCLUDES:

Coaching demos, tutorials and practice
Each week there will be a LIVE coaching demo call where you will witness EVOLVE Path Life Coaching in action. There will also be dedicated practice time and our usual Tutorial session for asking questions as you deepen your skills and prepare for graduation.

Beyond gaining your EVOLVE Path Professional Life Coach 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 eleven.

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.

(Depending on the number of groups, you may be invited to a program starting later in the year.)
