Mentor Coaching with Mel

Mentor coaching is a structured, collaborative development process where a coach (you) works with a mentor coach to observe and receive feedback on your coaching sessions, all aligned with the ICF Core Competencies. The goal is deepening your skill set and reflective practice.

Mentor Coaching is for professionals who have an active practice of coaching and for those who have completed their training and seek to recenter their practice and receive feedback and guidance from a more experienced coach on their coaching skills.

Mel’s Approach to Mentor Coaching

Mentor coaching with Mel is no chore but a celebration of your commitment to coaching:

“Mentor Coaching is a co-created process, reliant on open and direct communication about your goals, skills, strengths, areas for growth, and progress. You will be encouraged to incorporate the ICF Core Competencies in your coaching while honouring and building your particular coaching style.”

You will be invited to let go of any push to be a pleasing student or feeling the need to perform. Instead, Mel will encourage you to adopt a “beginner’s mind” - focusing on progress, not perfection, as well as building self-trust, self-awareness, and a sense of being grounded thoroughly in the ICF Core Competencies.
