How do we facilitate growth as we lead and coach? Honoring the ICF Core Competency No 8

The International Coaching Federation’s Competency 8 asks its certified coaches to work with clients in ways that great leaders do with their team: consider possibilities, create action plans, and explore learning. It also requires developing measurable achievements.

In a new coaching session with MCC Coach Ben Dooley, we review a strong— perhaps an excellent contender for my second recording submission to the ICF for my MCC certification. It seems strong to me—and to Coach Ben— but without time-stamped requests for specific action steps at the end. Does this eliminate me and make this recording? I’m still not sure. The client establishes action steps, but perhaps not in textbook perfect ways.

Listen into a mentoring session for fodder for your own ICF certification and/or more training on deep, active listening.
