For the past 5 years I have worked as faculty on an ICF level 1 training academy. I have trained coaches, mentor coached and evaluated dozens of new coaches. My mentor coaching focus is on ACC renewals or new applications for those going through the portfolio route.

About Mentor Coaching

Mentor Coaching

Mentor coaching is more than just an ICF requirement—it’s a dedicated space to refine your skills, deepen your psychological awareness, and grow your confidence as a practitioner.

Whether you are applying for your initial credential or renewing your ACC, you need a mentor who meets the highest standards. (Note: As of January 2027, the ICF strictly requires mentor coaches to hold a specialized mentor coaching designation, a standard I already practice as I work towards the MCS this summer).Your Mentoring Pathway from 20271. New ACC Applicants 2027: The ICF will no longer require you to submit a recording for evaluation in 2027. You may begin your mentor coaching this year, and end the process next year to avoid the extra expense of the portfolio route.2. ACC Credential Renewals: Every three years, you have the opportunity to recalibrate. We will use these required mentor coaching hours not just to renew your status, but to actively push your coaching edge and overcome any plateaus in your practice. There is no performance evaluation at renewal.Check the ICF website for more details.
