ICF provides a path of development for professional coaches who want to differentiate themselves from anyone who calls themselves a coach. The credentialing path supports coaches to develop from beginning level (ACC) to intermediate level (PCC), to advanced coaching skill level (MCC).
If you are interested in what it takes to become credentialed at ACC, PCC, or MCC level this group is for you! If you are a mentor coach who wants to engage in dialogue about competency distinctions to support your development as a mentor coach, you are also welcome!

Supervision is a non-judgmental partnership in which the coach brings his/her work to a supervisor to explore challenges, ethical dilemmas, emotional responses, and how the personal may intrude into the professional. The supervisor does not evaluate or judge but holds a reflective space for learning and connection for the group.

Topic: Art of Enrollment: 5 Key Tips to Successful Connection Conversations
Speaker: Gretchen Hydo, MCC
CCEs: 1.5 Resource Development
Date: Tuesday, February 14, 2023
Time: 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM Pacific Time
In this interactive workshop, Master Coach, Gretchen Hydo, will teach the art of enrollment beginning with prepping yourself, to being fully present with your client. She will answer questions from the floor, and demo what a successful enrollment call sounds like. She will break down the process into manageable steps and will focus on helping coaches slow down to speed up. Many coaches try to connect, sell and close all in one 30-minute session. Hydo will help participants create a roadmap that breaks the process down, connect, invite, serve, propose, serve in a slowed down and relaxed way.

Often used interchangeably, team and group coaching call on very different skills. Teams are a specific type of group, in which all members are working together towards a common goal, usually focused on enhancing the organization or the team’s relationship and processes. Groups bring together individuals who are working towards their own goal and share an interest or challenge. Through coaching, they benefit from the other members’ wisdom and stories. Join us to learn new techniques that pertain to groups and team coaching, practice, share and have fun in the process!

In this session, we will explore different types of EI assessment – self-report vs. situational vs. imagery. We will also explore in-depth two specific EI assessments available for use in coaching. Participants will have the opportunity to explore one of these visual EI assessments, firsthand, and will also have the opportunity to walk through sample results provided by each. We will further discuss how to use other types of assessments to drive EI-focused coaching conversations.
