    Mentor Coaching Duties and Competencies ICF Credentials and Standards

    The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines Mentor Coaching as providing


    professional assistance in achieving and demonstrating the levels of coaching
    competency demanded by the desired credential level sought by a coach‐
    applicant (mentee). Furthermore, Mentor Coaching means an applicant (mentee)
    being coached on their coaching skills rather than coaching on practice building,
    life balance, or other topics unrelated to the development of an applicant’s
    coaching skill.

    Duties
    ICF Mentor Coaches:
    1. Model effective initiation and contracting of client relationship
    2. Explore fully with a potential mentee what they are looking to achieve
    3. Ensure both are clear about the purpose of the mentoring
    4. Establish measures of success in partnership with the mentee
    5. Fully discuss fees, time frame, and other aspects of a Mentor Coaching
    relationship
    6. Inform the mentee regarding all aspects of the ICF Code of Ethics
    7. Inform the mentee of the availability of the Ethical Conduct Review Board
    8. Support mentee self‐confidence by encouraging potential mentees to
    interview more than one mentor coach candidate in order to find the best
    match
    9. Make no guarantee to the mentee that as a result of the mentoring the
    mentee will obtain the credential level s/he is seeking
    10. Focus on core competency development by reviewing and providing oral
    and written feedback on a series of the mentee’s coaching sessions
    a. These sessions are to be conducted one at a time, with a feedback
    session between each one, giving enough time between sessions to
    allow for incorporation of the mentee’s learning and development.
    11. Provide specific verbal and/or written feedback, using targeted examples
    from the sessions so that:
    a. The mentee will know exactly what s/he is doing well.
    b. The mentee understands what needs to be done to develop a deeper
    level of mastery in coaching.
    12. Demonstrate that s/he is learning about the mentee at many levels at once
    and is able to hold all of that in the context of:
    a. Who the mentee is
    b. What the mentee is seeking
    c. Honoring the mentee’s unique style

    Personal Traits
    The ICF Mentor Coach:
    1. Is trustworthy and has the ability to connect with the mentee in terms of fit,
    chemistry and compatibility.
    2. Is someone who encourages the mentee to reach beyond what the mentee
    initially feels is possible, assisting in broadening their creative process.
    3. Demonstrates equal partnership by being open, vulnerable and willing to
    take appropriate risks, for example, in providing feedback that may make
    one or both individuals uncomfortable.
    4. Understands and is able to model the value of partnership and, as an
    example, allows/encourages the mentee to lead in designing areas to be
    worked on between sessions that will lead to more powerful, leveraged
    coaching.
    5. Has the ability to be supportive and authentic in celebrating who the
    mentee is, her/his achievements and growth throughout the process.
    6. Is secure in their own work and is able to demonstrate appreciation and
    respect for the unique style of each mentee.
    7. Encourages the development of the mentee’s own coaching style
    8. Is willing to hold both self and mentee accountable for performance and to
    periodically encourage mutual assessment of the effectiveness of the
    relationship.

    Competencies
    The ICF Mentor Coach:
    1. Listens beyond content to discern application of the skills related to the
    core competencies (i.e. skill versus direction, skill versus style or skill versus
    outcome for the client.)
    2. Listens on all levels: physical, intellectual, emotional and intuitive
    3. Listens equally for strengths and areas for growth
    4. Is aware of and allows for differences in style, culture, and language.
    5. Has a working knowledge of the assessment tools used by the ICF in the
    evaluation of recorded coaching sessions used in the credentialing exam
    process.
    6. Listens both for the presence of individual competencies and for the overall
    totality of skill level.
    7. Has the ability to distinguish which critical underlying competency (s) may
    be giving rise to ineffective or limited coaching impact.
    8. Can discern and articulate the gap between levels of skill demonstrated and
    next skill level to attain.
