This collection maps directly to the ICF Core Competency framework, providing structured self-assessment, session reflection, and supervision preparation tools for coaches working toward or maintaining ACC, PCC, or MCC credentials.
The programme covers eight competency areas across three domains:
Foundation
Demonstrates Ethical Practice — Ethical scenario thinking, boundary awareness, and reflective exercises for the grey areas that codes of ethics can't fully cover.
Embodies a Coaching Mindset — Self-awareness of assumptions, biases, and the ongoing inner work of maintaining genuine curiosity and presence.
Co-Creating the Relationship
Establishes and Maintains Agreements — Contracting skills for sessions, engagements, and the ongoing renegotiation that effective coaching requires.
Cultivates Trust and Safety — The specific behaviours that build psychological safety, and honest reflection on where trust breaks down.
Communicating Effectively
Maintains Presence — Staying fully present when your mind wants to plan, fix, or rescue.
Listens Actively — Listening beyond words to emotion, energy, and what's not being said.
Evokes Awareness — Questions and observations that shift perspective and create genuine insight.
Cultivating Learning and Growth
Facilitates Client Growth — Supporting clients to translate awareness into action and maintain momentum between sessions.
