This interactive learning provides experienced coaches the opportunity to experiment with new postures and techniques, observe others coach, deepen their understanding of the ICF Core Competencies, and receive feedback and tips on how to improve their coaching. The course provides and variety of interactive activities (e.g., demonstrations, improv games, drawing, movement) to generate conversation and practice around each of the 8 Core Competencies. 

FOCUS: 3 coaching postures and 8 ICF Competencies, and regular time for observed coaching practice.

Note: Instruction and group mentor coaching is in English, so comfortability listening and speaking in English is essential. Practice can be coordinated in other languages if other participants have other language preferences too. Assessment is only available in English. If other languages are preferred participants can use the ICF portfolio pathway.

Plan to be fully present (screen and mic on) as our sessions will have a variety of participatory activities, discussions, games, and time to practice coaching in pairs. Limited make up ability is available for those who miss an in-person experience, as the ICF requires the face-to-face time with the qualified ICF facilitator. You can only make up one session (or up to 6 hours) and still get full credit toward the Level 2 certificate so plan your schedule to be at all the group sessions unless an extenuating circumstance comes up.

Brief pre-work (self-assessment and examples of PCC coaching to listen to) will be given after registration. Optional articles, recordings, and resources will be offered throughout the course to supplement the topics covered. Coaches will have the opportunity between the plenary sessions to meet with others from the course for intentional practice and discussion (scheduled with triad for 2 hours). 

For those who need/want mentor coaching, we’ll have 7 hours of group sessions after the Coaching Education is completed. These sessions will provide ongoing support as coaches implement their learning in their contexts. 

The optional 1:1 sessions with a mentor coach can be scheduled during the course or afterward. It is fine to wait a few months until you have more time to implement your learning with those you coach.

The Level 2 assessment will entail the submission of one (1) recording and transcript (20-60 min). Instructions will be provided. The assessment can be submitted at any time during or after the course. Those who have engaged in prior mentor coaching or with another qualified mentor coach have the option to skip the offered mentor coaching (or do a customized arrangement) and still submit a recording to Zovak Coaching as part of the Level 2 certificate (presuming, of course, that they complete all the training hours).  

Those who choose not to complete the assessment can do so at a later time (with an additional small fee for an extra invoice) or can use this coaching education (and the partial Level 2 certificate that will be given) with the portfolio pathway. (Please note: the application for the portfolio pathway is $375 more than the Level 2 pathway and has an 18-week turn-around, as opposed to 4 weeks with the Level 2 pathway.)

Note: Group sessions and assessments are only available in English, so comfort with listening and speaking in English is essential. Triad practice, and some mentor coaching, can be coordinated in other languages if other participants have other language preferences too. For an assessment in another language, participants can use the ICF portfolio pathway.
