7-hour Group Mentor Coaching Program

with Julie Lines

About Session 1: Foundation

Duration – 1 hour

The focus of our first session will be ICF Core Competencies 1 and 2.

We will also spend some time on introductions.

Note: the Zoom invitation for the first session is for 2 hours, but you only need to attend the first hour. At the end of the first hour I will be available to answer any questions you might have about the Program, or about the ICF credentialing process.

Session 2: Co-Creating the Relationship
Session 3: Communicating Effectively
Session 4: Cultivating Learning and Growth

Duration – 2 hours each

After our first session I will forward the page link to access pre-work for Session 2.

The pre-work for future sessions will not require a huge commitment of time (about 30-60 mins), but as the sessions are only one week apart you might like to plan some time for this.

Live Coaching Practice

The live coaching will start in Session 2, when we have our first 2-hour session together.  I will be requesting the following volunteers:

  • Someone to coach in Session 2 & someone to be coached in Session 2.
  • Someone to coach in Session 3 & someone to be coached in Session 3.
  • Someone to coach in Session 4 & someone to be coached in Session 4.

In your coach training you probably did coaching practice in pairs and there may have been a third person (perhaps even the Coach Trainer) who offered feedback as an observer. The live coaching practice in our group sessions will be very similar… the difference being that here you will receive strengths-based feedback from multiple observers and from the person you coach.

20 minutes is a short period to be coaching and I encourage the person coaching to stop for a training pause at any point – perhaps to ask the group what question they would ask next, or to say “I really want to give advice now, what should I do?” It’s a learning environment and the aim is for you to observe different coaching styles and learn from each other.

Certificate of Completion

After the fourth session I will email you a Certificate of Completion for the group mentor coaching program, stating the number of group mentor coaching hours you have completed with me (ie if you attend for the full 7-hours the certificate will reflect this).
