Welcome to Our Developmental Group Mentoring Program for Coaches!
This program has been created for coaches who believe that honing their craft and growing themselves are two sides of the same coin.
Inspired by the principles of developmental coaching and informed by ICF's standards for mentor coaching, this program offers an opportunity to deepen your coaching skills while furthering your own vertical development.
Program Overview:
Duration: 4 sessions, each lasting 2 hours (via Zoom). Due to the developmental focus of the learning process, the program can only be purchased as a package and participants are strongly encouraged to attend all four sessions.
Group Size: Maximum of 7 participants. Every participant will coach live and receive detailed feedback, in a supportive learning environment.
Focus: Dual emphasis on developing ICF coaching competencies and on facilitating the coach’s vertical growth.
ICF Alignment: Meets ICF requirements for group mentoring, can be used for credentialing purposes.
What Makes this Program Unique?
Developmental Approach: Drawing on Alis Anagnostakis’ research on transformative learning groups, the program will create a space where the five principles of diversity, similarity, challenge, support and consistency can converge to create a safe, transformative space for the whole group.
Balancing focus on content AND process: Together we will not only look at WHAT we do in coaching, but HOW we do it and WHO we are while we are coaching. We will alternate observing coaching competencies in action with cultivating the meta-awareness to notice our own process as we coach.
Live coaching: Every session you will be invited to coach and be coached, in real time. This is no easy ask. It’s an invitation to trust, be open, vulnerable and walk the talk of leaning into discomfort. In our view, only by doing this work ourselves can we truly become ready to accompany others on the same journey.
Expert Guidance: This program draws both from Alis’ research in adult development and from her 15 years of experience supporting other coaches’ growth.
Additional resources: Participants in the group mentoring program will be offered complimentary access to all VDI webinars. Those who wish to deepen their exploration of adult development will receive a 50% discount on our flagship “Vertical Development Practices for Coaches” online program (40 ICF CCEs).
