Some of the participants take-aways:

This was a pleasure and a gift opportunity to hear a different style of MCC coaching.
A fabulous coaching session. The Q and A afterwards was especially rewarding.
As so often is the case, simplicity.
Loved the tips around why, what if, and how. Also the tip about getting related when first meeting the client for a session.
How much can be accomplished in a short time!
I loved hearing a male coach. There's definitely a different vibe and it was interesting to observe it.
I enjoyed listening to Ken talk about assessments he uses & recommended books.
Holding the questions in mind: Why this topic and Why now?
Getting to the "who" of the client is. That was insightful to get the client to that point.
How to reflect back to the client that shows the client a new perspective - using metaphors like the ship has left the dock - helping the client see he had already decided.
Great time getting to know the client before establishing the agreement for the session... good demonstration of competencies: trust and intimacy (tone, energy); reframe/clarificication - direct communication; Powerful questions; awareness (metaphor, etc)

Some of the participant take-aways as well as the client feedback a week after the call:

Elegant demo of powerful coaching at its best. The coach listened deeply, asked the most powerful questions and held the space for the client to listen to her own thoughts and move through her confusion to brilliant clarity.
One of the best masterful coaching session I have ever heard.
I really enjoyed the call; the coach trusted the client to be the expert, to be creative, and resourceful. Her thinking process exemplified the clients ability to go deep. Very deep! And think new thoughts/ideas she has not before.
What stood out to me was hearing the coach’s presence and confidence in providing the space for the client to be listened to, like she may not have ever been listened to before. What a gift.
The call today with Jane was awe-inspiring, and her approach to coaching resonated with me who has used the Socratic method in teaching. Thanks again.
Asking the client, at the beginning, for a clue/symbol they will use to let the coach know when they are ready for the next question. And, closing with appreciation for a specific trait observed in the client.
This was a fascinating call that demonstrated the power of presence, powerful questioning, and trust in the client’s ability to think for herself.
To be aware of how I’m showing up as a coach--especially my assumptions about my clients’ abilities to be resourceful and think for themselves--to avoid “directing” their thinking. To be present and ask questions that “free” their minds.
Don’t be afraid to keep asking the same question! And what else? And what else?
Great demo. I appreciated the opportunity to be educated about the Thinking Environment and being the Thinking Partner.
I really liked Jane’s intro and the way in which she set up the call for success. I think I’m going to spend some time working on my intro/agreement, by discussing my style, and being upfront about the way I coach by mentioning it at the start. I can see how it really would help find the right client-coach match.
Really appreciated such a beautiful demonstration of this process.
Idea of helping foster client “independent thinking” in tackling situations where they are feeling stuck. “The purpose of the coach it not to direct the client’s mind, but rather to help free it.”

You can read a powerful quote from Jane about the TE work, more takeaways and what the client reported 1 week after this session under the Thinking Environment tab.

Some of the participant take-aways:

Extremely beneficial as it was an unusual demo, client was not articulating or going deep in words despite there obviously being deep feeling and emotion. However, coach discovered access point through process coaching and body feelings and sensations, and this was helpful to the client.
Emotions will come up for clients during coaching. It is possible to coach clients around their emotions without “practicing therapy”.
This was one of my favorites! Loved how the questions flowed, the references to the body and how Rodrigo stayed present even when the client didn’t understand what he was saying/asking, .
My biggest takeaway was the use of somatic coaching in this MCC call. I love how helpful it can be when coaching around emotions to use the body and the present moment as a way of not getting sucked into the past, and not getting the client stuck on the story of the past.
Finding tools that the client can use to hold their own without you, the coach, being their “anchor” past the call.
Holding the space for self-awareness past situations where emotion may overwhelm the client.
All the different ways Rodrigo evoked awareness with the client
Rodrigo’s beautifully simple & powerful questions. His positivity - such great energy.
I am already present to importance of emotional literacy in coaching clients in accessing the heart’s intelligence; this was just a beautiful example for me to follow.
Holding the space for self-awareness re past situations where emotion may overwhelm the client.
Allowing the client to associate the emotion present with their body sensations ~ can make it easier for them to talk about their emotion

To witness Vikki Brock's trust- in herself, the client and the coaching process was awe-inspiring and the best motivator in the world. To give just one example- unexpected “stuff” came up for the client in the last minutes of the session and she suddenly became very emotional. It was really wonderful to witness Vikki's mastery. There was no sense of urgency on her part, she continued to remain totally present with the client, honored where she was and helped move her through it by asking a series of 3 powerful questions.
The first of which was “And how does that relate to who you are as a human being and the love you bring into the world?”

"These calls you're providing where coaches get to hear master coaches coaching and then ask questions is really very important work."~Vikki Brock

Some of the participant take-aways:

Very impressed by her master skill level. So many golden nuggets, but I guess my biggest takeaway was her use of the clients words, and how she consistently wove them back in to the conversation. It allowed the client to really feel heard and understood
A truly memorable call. I will listen and re-listen to this recording many times.
What taking time to explore the coaching agreement looks like in practice
So many great tips for the MCC exam.
What a fabulous call! There were so many powerful and immediately useful takeaways. The one that sticks out is related to not uttering affirming sounds as the clients speaking because that it is considered interrupting the client.
Some of the pointers to look for when doing a recording.
The power of silence for both the coach and the client.
How MCC coaching differs in quality from PCC coaching-specifically the critical element of designing the coaching agreement (can take a large part of the session) and coaching presence How she reflected back what she was hearing and tied themes together throughout the call
I’m so glad she shared her assessment feedback.
Another great call! My head is spinning with new things to practice.
The work, practice and preparation it takes to reach the MCC level!

Sylviane Cannio MCC

Master Certified Executive & Mentor Coach
Bonus: An article written by Sylviane called From Coronavirus to Corona-ENERGY!

Coaching Scenario: This client is not a coach, she has never been coached before and this was the first time she and Sylviane had ever met or spoken.

Coaching Topic: The issue is fear of supporting herself with a new business from scratch, as she was let go from my day job due to budget cuts. Her skills are in graphic design, marketing and she's close to getting an AA in Holistic Health Studies. She's very interested in designing holistic interior spaces. She's ready to start but her direction is kind of fuzzy, she wants coaching on clarity and on managing fear and doubt.

Some of the participant take-aways:

How the coach’s presence and intensity were skillfully used to advance a client discovery in less than 30 minutes!
I am taking away the reminder of the power of metaphor! I thought it was very insightful of the coach to bring the bridge/river metaphor into the session, it was a turning point for the client who was feeling stuck and fearful. It provided the client with perspective, courage to take the next “baby step” and the opportunity to control and change her mindset.
Trust the process of coaching and the client’s innate wisdom. I feel I am getting a bit over-reliant on asking “right questions” vs. listening and offering what I hear to help client claify the wisdom within
Tap into the energy in the body to hone in to the motivation
Wow Gail, Sylviane is truly gifted.
The importance of trusting the client.
When I get a fearful client, I’ll remind the client that fear is 90-95% irrational and help her/him tap into the 5-10% that’s useful.
The magic of powerful questioning, direct communication, and use of metaphor to build awareness and shift the client’s energy.
To understand that not everything a client brings can be handled in one session. That I can best serve my client by paying attention to whether the conversation is moving in a direction that is most useful to the client given any constraints (time, energy, topic, etc.) and then choosing an approach that will be most helpful in moving or shifting the client all while trusting the process.
Loved hearing the shift in the client’s energy by the end of the call. Found the use of the breath as an anchor to be a great tip.
The pace of the coach does not have to match client
Use of metaphor to strengthen self-awareness
“Going deep fast”. Daring to be direct with clients.
Never doubt your intuition and be certain that the CLIENT KNOWS. I felt this gave the coach the power to stay on track without being afraid to use strong energy

Sherryl T. Christie MCC

Executive & Leadership Coach
Special Bonus: the call is extended for an additional 30 minutes to cover the elements below.

This was a different kind of call & an MMC first!
2 MCCs for the price of one!

Sam Magill MCC (executive and coach supervisor for this call) begins by talking to us about coaching supervision, his passion and area of expertise.
Then we hear Sherryl T. Christie coaching one of her real world executive clients
Sam then demonstrates what he talked about and actually supervises Sherryl
Finally there's a Q&A

Coaching Scenario: Mike the client, is an executive and he and Sherryl have been coaching together off and on since 2011. They have been on a bit of a hiatus and so this is the first session theyve had for about 7 months.

Coaching Topic: Mike says his pattern has been to micro manage and take on things that other people arent handling well but knows it’s not sustainable or in the best interest of anyone. He's given an employee a huge project but feels this employee has a similar pathology. The project is not going well and the team is having problems with him. Mike says he’s always been of the mindset “accomplish the mission at any cost” and tends to be a direct bottom line kind of guy. He really wants to know how to approach this differently so that he can help the employee to develop his skillset and grow while also accomplishing the goals of the company.

Super-vision! Love it! Thanks to Sam and Sherryl for this learning experience!
Gratefulness to witness 2 coaching sessions one being supervision of an MCC. Wow!
How, when direct communication is done with the intent of helping the client get back on track, it can be very powerful.
Thank you for integrating supervision and doubling the MCCs, I so appreciate the variety and complexity.
As Sheryl spoke about, I am often ahead of my clients and need to slow down even more.
Great to listen to the coaching session within the supervision context. How do you know when you are a good enough coach?? was an amazing supervision question.
Paying attention to parallel processes in my coaching sessions...i.e. me doing with the client what he/she is doing in his/her life.
Continuing to note my own urges to advise and not coach.
This call was fantastic, thank you! I loved Sam’s introduction to and definition of supervision: in that it helps the beginner and master coach, increase the moments of mastery. Brilliant!
I will forever continue the process of supervision/mentor coaching in order to continue to be my best self, and best coach for my clients.
Loved learning about super-vision and the difference between that and mentor coaching.
How useful it is to have an observer of the observer!
Excellent learning opportunity
When we hope for but don’t see results in a session, we must remember that the client needs time to reflect. The learning and action most often come after the session.

Very powerful to witness such a major shift in the client when her own stated value early on was then applied later to a block she was experiencing!
Great questions that drilled down on clarifying the “goal”
I really liked her style, slow and clear language, great use of powerful questions, loved her presence, really felt the love and genuine care for the client.
This was a pure fulfillment call(CTI terminology)and a good reminder of how the use of values and acknowledgement lights up the client and helps her claim her most powerful self.
I especially liked the discussion around “difficult” clients during the Q & A.
I loved her use of the client’s metaphor with the tree example, and how she kept tying that back in through the entire session.
A reminder of how marketing can be fun if we focus on our gifts as coaches.
The skillful use of metaphor was very powerful for the client.
Use of intuition to decide best approach to proceed when at a crossroads in the coaching, things to factor in to whether to take one path or another
Redirecting/reframing using client’s values to help them figure out their course while being in alignment with their values
Assisting the client in identifying what is easy about a project and doing that first - when getting started is the issue

This coaching session was a beautiful example of the coach’s ability to dance in the moment with the client’s energy. The client and coach moved from great depths to moments of lightness and levity without missing a beat.
Presence is the difference between PCC and MCC.
To trust that what I need as a coach is already inside me--to trust in my own value as a coach.
less notes, try to increase presence.
the safe container she created for Heidi to explore her somatic experience.
Reminder to use silence and allow intuition to be a tool, but to be careful about how questions are posed so as not to be directive.
Using personal values as a way to discuss the emotional conflict that arises in the conversations.
The way Laurie matched her client’s energy as it would shift, sometimes dramatically throughout the session.
How powerful patience and presence are.
That coaching is an embodiment—it’s not what I do as a coach but is who I am being
Invite client to notice wisdom of the body -- somatic sensations
that gentle, loving, careFULL approach, great call!

I’m proud and grateful that ICF/MCC coaches are in the world coaching at this level. And, hope for this (pure) kind of coaching to become more widespread in society.
An example of presence and ease in masterful coaching and the real power of increased awareness for the client
Beautiful conversation!
This extraordinary example of MCC level coaching! Jane did not speak much. Her presence was powerful. She was right with Perry, although silent much of the time, allowing him to do most the talking and asking particularly poignant questions.
The spectacular questions and patience allowing the coachee talking
Jane had a beautiful sense of presence with the client, it was such a smooth session, natural and flowed well. She empowered the client by giving him the space to work it through for himself.
I appreciated having the opportunity to hear an “internal coaching session”; I am not an internal coach and really appreciated this insiders view of how co-workers would coach each other!
This session deepened my overall experience as a professional coach.

Tunde Erdos MCC

Executive Coach
Bonuses: Additional 30 minutes for Q&A and discussion on Tunde's new non-profit coaching documentary film: The Light & Shadow of Coaching - In and Beyond Organizations. Tunde also gave a copy of the transcript of the session.

This is a different kind of MMC call

On this call Tunde is allowing us to hear one of her coaching sessions that passed the ICF MCC exam! She then debriefs and answers questions. And she gives us an additional 30 minutes for discussion and Q&A.

Client scenario: This is one of Tunde's real-life, high-level executive clients. This was their second session.

Client topic: This client wants to know how to balance giving and receiving. She feels she gives a lot and would like to feel appreciated. How she can care for and serve others and at the same time care for herself without feeling selfish. She is able to analyze it but is unable to find the correct balance and to feel confident about it.

There is a balance between knowledge and the practical wisdom that comes from working with clients. Be curious about both science and practice.
To always have top of mind awareness of how present I am as well as my ability to show up authentically.
I can trust myself.
It is interesting how she mentioned that if she did the session now, she would use more silence to move progress faster.
Going after the limiting belief.
Appreciated Tunde’s comments about her documentary. Appreciated her challenge to coaches to pay attention to who we are becoming as well as demonstrating our capacity to be challenged.
A reminder of how important the somatic elements of a coaching session are and not to step over them.
You can give the client the choice to choose how to conduct the coaching. Ask the client if they want to sit, stand, move during the coaching
The energy between the client and coach was visceral and dynamic.
The topic is extremely valuable!
Tunde’s humility & learning focus
Her book on Coaching Presence focuses on non-verbal communication. My first thought is that this aligns with her comment about more silence.
I like how she built trust by respecting the client’s desire to move their coaching space
I struggle at times with the feeling to move the conversation in a direction that I think it should go. I like the reminder of silence helps me slow things down. Allow the client to think resulting in moving the conversation in their direction not mine.
So many valuable insights on presence and dancing with the client.
mirroring the clients’ behaviours.

Some of the participants take-aways:

I was very impressed with how Vicki got the client to move past her planned and prepared speech that she came to the call with. I can see how challenging that was, and I am walking away from this call with a great example of how to move a client like this to a much deeper level.
Inspiration from “observing” the elegance of “dancing in the moment” and the power of presence. Wow!
A reminder of how important it is to be centered for both the client and coach. An inquiry/reflection for me re: how to work with clients who are in their heads
I loved the moment in the beginning of the call, when Vicki asked the client to take a moment to center herself before beginning coaching. She then asked her how does she usually center herself, which got the client to pull from her past experiences, which I think provided her a moment of comfort, I will definitely borrow this specific technique to use with my clients.
Vicki really was able to allow the client to find her own way. It felt uncomfortable for me as I listened understanding my primal urge to jump in and lead or guide.
Exploring more options rather than drilling down too quickly for a solution
Asking the kind of questions that allow the client to do the work
Technique of helping client turn off their repetitive thought patterns by focusing on their bodies.

Judy Feld, MCC

Master Certified Executive & Professional Coach
Co-Author of Smart Match Alliances
Bonus: Judy's 5000 word article "Baby Boomers Escape Your Bubble"

Coaching Scenario: The client is not a coach and this was the first time she and Judy had ever met or spoken.

Coaching Topic: "I'm a Baby Boomer in life transition. I was married to a fairly successful man. I raised children and intermittently, had some great jobs, but my resume is spotty. After 40 years, the marriage has dissolved, dividing my nest egg in half, the stock market fell, dividing it in half again. Most of my friends are on on cruises, are winding down their lives, and cannot imagine going back to work. I've heard the job market is rough - and they are right - it's a jungle out there. Age discrimination is alive and well also. I believe I'm at a fork in the road (perhaps with several tines). I'm treading water with a tad bit of panic. I'm an excellent swimmer - if I can lay the panic aside and start some forward motion."

Purchase MP3- $59.97

One of the participants during the Q&A said to Judy:

"I think your coaching today was probably the best example Ive heard of a Master Coach. Of all the sessions Ive listened to through the ICF and Gail Moore, it was just masterfully done. I thought it was a fabulous call!"~Kay Cross, M.Ed, ACC, Cross Coaching & Wellness, www.kaycross.com

Hearing an assessor’s (Fran’s) feedback about this session was invaluable. I picked up so many useful tips for strengthening my own coaching!
I need to become more aware of my coaching patterns that may not be supporting the client.
I’ll be making sure my questions are truly open-ended and that I’m not leading the client in any way.
I loved the way Lynn set up the call in the beginning; she went deep, clarified and explored the agenda really quickly, it took it to another level. I also like that she explored all the possible options of where the session could go. I’m also taking away Lynn’s soft, yet strong/confident presence, and use of/paraphrasing of the clients own words, because of that it felt like she tracked well with the client.
I need to become more aware of my coaching patterns that may not be supporting the client.
Opened my eyes to the nuances as well, really interesting and would love to hear more!
I found Fran’s very specific constructive feedback followed then by how it might have been done differently unbelievably helpful.
Great examples of how not to lead the client.
Questions to ask that invite the client to do the work.
Wow Gail I got so much that I can implement right away. Helped me see where I need and want to grow.
Fran’s specificity helped me see very clearly what it is in my own coaching I need to work on. Watch out for those leading questions and acknowledging sounds or comments!
I found Lynn to be very present with her client and I felt the connection. I appreciated the way she checked in with the client and would repeatedly reflect back what she was hearing.
I will transcribe that entire debriefing.
Must always confirm with the client re my observations otherwise makes client feel that I’m right or that I think I am!
I’ll be making sure my questions are truly open-ended and that I’m not leading the client in any way.
Feel like I got a peek behind the scenes, the inner workings so to speak. I have a page full of takeaways.

Call #3

This was a different kind of MMC call.

Establishing the Coaching Agreement is where many coaches can get tripped up and can be the main reason for not passing the ICF exam. So this call is dedicated to exploring and delving deeply into this core competency as well as hearing Fran demonstrating it at the master level in a real coaching session with one her clients.

Fran says there are three things that are typically challenging at the MCC level regarding Establishing the Coaching Agreement, and they are KEY to the conversation:
1. HOW to take the client’s exploration DEEPER for their underlying issue and taking the time to do so
2. Measuring for success
3. Inviting the client to lead

Get ready to take this competency to the next level!

As special bonuses Fran gave us an additional 30 minutes to do this, she gave a hand-out which is a wonderful reource and the call provides 1.5 CEU's.

Some of the participant take-aways:

I am so very impressed at how Fran established that agreement! I have never heard such an in depth demo on the clarity and depth that could come out of establishing the agreement to that extent. Wow. That was very insightful. I now have a beautiful example of what to strive for, to really be of service to my clients.
Competency 2 is pivotal in going deeper with the client to hear what’s important or meaningful for that person
Don’t step over the energy shifts, incongruencies, as this is an opportunity to dive deeper
It’s not linear and Fran circled back to each [PCC] marker until the client was really clear and grounded in the agreement
Who is the client being in relation to the focus or issue they are bringing to the call.
Realising how I might be/ am leading clients - Having measures always with numbers - instead of how the client would measure where they are.
Moving from coaching the “What” to coaching the “Who”; the client.
Changing how I respond to the client’s answer to: How will you know if you have gotten your outcome?
Amazing demonstration and learning on how important it is to be patient and meet the client where they are, to fully explore what the client wants to achieve and the motivation underneath in defining the coaching agreement.
How overlooked the coaching agreement can be! How very important it is in defining and focusing the area(s) of coaching on what the client really wants. It IS the coaching!
Really nail it down and confirm topic, motivation, and outcome before moving on.
This was an extremely helpful call and a great reminder to up my game!

Ellen Fulton MCC

Executive Leadership & Coach Trainer
Bonus: Additional 30 minutes for debrief and Q&A

Client Scenario: Rich is not in the coaching profession, in fact he's never been coached before and this is the first time he and Ellen have ever met or spoken.

Client Topic: He's 62yrs old and has a painful and messy past including a felony conviction. He wants to make a difference and has developed a system for climate change. He's been working on it for 4 years, has all the necessary players lined up behind him and its ready to go but he feels somewhat intimidated. He wants help to unpack whats holding him back and find the inspiration, motivation, education and accountability to get it rolling.

Some of the participant take-aways:

Ellen’s coaching was so masterful, she was so present, she stayed in the coach role and didn’t get tempted to get into Rich’s past and at the same time, she didn’t step over it. She was supportive with acknowledgements without being cheerleadery. She consistently used Rich’s own words and metaphors and by doing that Rich shifted his thinking and realized in those moments he has choice. She held the agenda, required the client to dig deep and the client was able to see and feel his power, he remembered he has the answers and he knows what he needs to do. I like how she stuck with the “being” and not the “doing”.
Despite the clients current financial stressors, a “messy” past, and having a very big goal, the session was light with laughter, it flowed very nice, and you could hear the shift in the clients’ voice and energy.
I really appreciated hearing an example of how to handle a moment where the language wasn’t landing for the client (“too coachy”), Ellen very masterfully noticed it, acknowledged it, and quickly corrected.
I thought the coach demonstrated great presence. When the client didn’t understand the questions she simply adapted--kept trying ways to discover language he did understand. Loved it when she said they were still learning their language together.
Careful when working with a new client to use language that is easy for them to access. Also how the taking of something big and drilling it into a smaller question is so tremendously empowering!
Strong coaching Presence and non-attachment to outcome. Ellen empathetically held space and asked questions to access the client's wisdom. She truly partnered with her client with patience and grace, causing a shift in his energy and perspective leading to his clarity and committed choice.

Some of the participant take-aways:

The call today was exceptional!
This was so effective and felt like a clean version of me. Gives me hope!
Love the way the client drove the session so peacefully, it can be difficult even at the MCC level to let go of our well intentioned agendas
Beautiful at ease MCC coaching - plus deepening my understanding of the MCC
I “loved” what the coach said about leading with love for her clients. That love is one of her strongest values. It showed!
To take more time getting beneath what the client brings to the session to get to the actual agreement. To be better at co-creating an agreement with clients around a pre-session check in form.
To learn about the ICF MCC Qualification Process
This was a great session! It was very interesting to be able to listen to the session and then review the feedback from the ICF assessor’s perspective.
Not looking at the tip of the iceberg but going underneath, looking deeper.
Love these exam review calls as they make me a better assessor and mentor.
It was a very high level call
The importance of trusting the process. Being comfortable with silence, asking powerful questions.
Reminder of how to get to the coaching agreement without my natural curiosity pulling me down a rabbit hole.

About Emily Golden MCC

David Goldsmith MCC

Master Certified Executive, Leadership, Confidence & Transformational Coach

Bonus: 30 additional minutes of discussion and Q&A at the end of the call on what it takes to go from a good coach to a great one

Coaching Scenario: The client is not in the coaching profession. She has had coaching in the past but this is the frist time that she and David have ever met or spoken.

Coaching Topic: "I am a 56-year-old getting started as a speaker/consultant on leadership issues in technical companies. I’ve written a book, gotten a nice sparkly website, but my biggest issue is “imposter syndrome”. I still have that feeling that I have no business advising anyone on leadership issues, even though I have an MBA, plenty of management experience, and plenty of compliments on my insights and abilities with people. And of course, I’ve written a book on leadership! But still there’s that voice whispering to me “nah, not you, hon”. That’s what I’m looking to get past."

Some of the participant take-aways:

It was a pleasure to observe such powerful coaching! One of the best coaching demonstrations. I loved the authenticity and boldness of his coaching.
Brilliant coaching! David not only challenged the client, he challenged me to think about how I can add more value as a coach. His provocative comments about the future of coaching should be heeded by every coach.
Coaching is more than helping create insight for the client. It’s also about helping the client to take action by getting “ridiculously specific” regarding the steps he/she will take and the “speed bumps” that may get in the way.
Inspiration and a model for truly masterful coaching. Impressive work! I will listen to this session again.
How boldness is the gateway to great coaching.
I am committed to paying more attention to when I turn away from an opportunity to take a risk with a client.
Both client and coach were dynamic!
Other valuable lessons I learned: be willing to be wrong more, be aware of the power dynamic in coaching, and challenge my clients more.
Use of humor, reframing, digging with depth to achieve insight
His coaching presence, in terms of presentation and content, was masterful.
Be confident enough to be wrong. Find the issue and then anchor it.

David Goldsmith's was a guest again for a different kind of call & an MMC first!

Please note: extended call time (to 90 minutes) & how this call was different!

David was a guest in January (the above call) and coached a woman not in the coaching profession, who has had some coaching in the past but this was the first time she and David had ever met or spoken. This call is a participant favorite!

David coached her again on this call as a follow-up session.

The coaching was conducted similarly to the way coaches train the pro athletes by breaking down and examining the action play by play. So David coached in a start and stop fashion giving us the opportunity in the moment to engage with David, the client and the coaching in a very participatory way.

Wow! What a beautiful coaching session and life lesson!
That paraphrasing fears to the point of ridiculousness brings levity to a situation and allows the client to reset.
The impact of reflecting as a mirror the words of the client so that they can hear it.
The importance of listening to one’s gut in deciding in which direction to go during the session
Clients will reveal where the coaching conversation can go deep. Not helpful for coaches to be too nice--okay to provoke/challenge client’s thinking.
Not being afraid to try different things to get to that “thing”; that will be of value and get results.
It is always a pleasure to observe David and his powerful coaching! Thank you for having him back again. I learn so much from him.
I admire his confidence in his own intuition; and how he is not attached to being right, he simply “has a hypothesis” and tests it out. It is such a masterful tool, and this is what I strive to always connect to in my coaching sessions.
He modeled brilliantly how to step over the potential therapy issues regarding her past, but used the depth and pain from those experiences in a coaching framework.
The logic and simplicity David used to shed light into the unconscious fears / beliefs.

Libby Graves MBA, MCC

Master certified Leadership Development & Executive Career/Life Transition Coach
Bonus: An additional 30 minutes for more debriefing and Q&A

Client Scenario: This is one of Libby's real-world clients. They have worked together for about 2 years.

Client Topic: He is a dentist in the military. He realizes the questions he’s been asking “What do I do next and How do I continue along the path of self-development for a particular job?” are not the right questions. The better ones are “What kinds of roles do I foresee for myself that allow me to be authentic in who I am? And “knowing who I am and taking an inventory of the leaders I have available to me, how do I leverage those into the next level?”

This was one of our ICF MCC exam sessions

We got to hear one of Libby's coaching sessions that passed the ICF MCC exam along with a review of the examiner's feedback. Followed by a debriefing and Q&A.

Some of the participant take-aways:

Excellent call today which exemplified truly masterful coaching!
Inward circles of deepened awareness vs spinning circles of repetition.
Her good example of pinpointing the coaching agreement.
how well she packaged together a summary from what her client said. Also, I like the wording, “What progress do you feel you’re making?” regarding the coaching session.
Clients are supported when they feel a sense of trust and safety in the coaching relationship, and when they are given plenty of space to engage in deep exploration and the time to process what’s uncovered.
To be completely comfortable in a space of not know knowing--to let whatever unfolds appear--to let go of any need to have “the” answers.
Maintaining Presence is what stood out for me. I often have to calm myself, to be more present. This was helpful.
Self-management and patience with the process of uncertainty of outcome.
Inward circles of deepened awareness vs spinning circles of repetition.
A new tool “allow the story telling” for retirement transitioning clients.
the completeness of the ending - I can learn a lot from this, going deeper even as I am moving to close.
The power of coaching to help clients develop and grow strong belief in themselves.
Discussion of tools was really helpful; for example, use of “Life Story” in setting baseline and connecting with clients to help them feel heard and understood.
It's always valuable to hear a session that passed the MCC exam.

Sarah Happel MCC

Executive & Leadership Coach
Bonus: 15 minute discussion on a topic Sarah is passionate about. "We are losing too many great coaches & potential great coaches in our profession because they don’t know how to make a living as a coach." She explained and gave us her methodology that we can use to get to a "Happy Yes" when building a robust coaching business.

Coaching Scenario: The client is not a coach, he has never been coached before and he and Sarah met for the 1st time on the call.

Coaching Topic: "I am the founder and CEO of a financial group, a registered investment advisory firm. I started the firm when I was 24, and became the younger founder of an RIA firm in the State of Ohio’s history. I’ve been featured in Forbes, Business Insider, the Washington Post, CNN Business, Authority Magazine, etc. And I really don’t say that to brag, in fact, it’s quite the opposite. I say that because I have horrible imposter syndrome. I just feel like a fraud because I’m not as experienced or as smart as other people and I am too young to be running an investment firm. I am the youngest person at my company. Think about how crazy it is that the CEO of the company is the youngest and least experienced of the whole company."

"Gail, I just listened back to this recording between Sarah Happel MCC and Ryan. It was magnificent. I re-learnt what it means to be an MCC and Sarah modelled her capacity as MCC brilliantly. I came away buoyed and keen again to rekindle my love affair with improving my MCCness. Thank you for your magnificent resource." ~Executive Coach, Tara Nolan MCC

"A powerful demonstration of presence, curiosity, and partnering with the client."
"When a client seems challenged in coming up with an outcome--jumps around a lot--I want to stay with the client. I want to dance with the client as a true partner--fully present and curious about what’s really wanted."
"I really appreciated some of the questions the coach asked. I also appreciated her response when the client seemed to be asking her advice or making references to therapy."
"Outstanding call!"
"Very helpful discussion about the business of coaching."
"Sarah’s simplicity and easy going questioning style."
“Don’t get sucked into the situation. Focus on what it’s like for the client to be in that situation.”
"Let the client lead"
"Great example of pure coaching and helping clients to figure things out for themselves."
"The way she held the client accountable and tossed it back to him to solve his own issues and not give advice.
"I have clients as Im sure we all do that can be all over the place. Getting to see how masterfully Sarah handled it, was a real gift!"

Outstanding call! So much was accomplished in just 30 minutes. I felt each question moved her forward skillfully and sensitively, without feeling rushed.
The value of coaching--holding the space to create clarity around vision and obstacles to achieving it. Powerful stuff!
I got a lot out of it for my own personal development. Thank You!
Simple, graceful and powerful coaching. Margie was masterful at bringing the client fully in touch with the depth of her passion and purpose. This helped the client break through her stuckness
Loved the use of the I AM model.
Never quite saw intention setting done in this way. I'm going to borrow it!
Good post discussion on process and values
Importance of doing "values" work in coaching
I want to continue accessing this kind of call. Its very interesting.

Patricia Hirsch NCOC, MCC

Master Certified Executive Personal Coach
Bonus: 20% off Patricia's ongoing 8 teleclass series for women over 40- Conversations With Women: From Knowledge to Wisdom. Also Thomas Leonard's Client Coachability Index

Coaching Scenario: The client is not a coach and this was the first time she and Patricia had ever met or spoken.

Coaching Topic: She has self published a book on infidelity-contains stats etc. but is very user friendly with lots of humor. She has been on both sides of the fence, been cheated on and has cheated. So has the advantage of being able to see both sides and the book is not condemning or judging. She feels the need is around re-education and personal accountability. She'd like to start an Infidelity Campaign (for example something like MADD) - nationwide, worldwide, whatever direction it may take. She's a theatre arts major, wants to get out from behind the computer and out in the world talking to everyday people about it. She feels stuck but like she's on the verge and just needs to get over the hump.

One of the participants- a monthly subscriber had this to say:

My takeaway was related to how amazing coachable clients are and the vastly different ways they can be legitimately and profoundly served. This session really opened my eyes to this other modality and has made me curious to know more. It was a powerful experience that enriched and deepened my knowledge-base. I think it is very important to keep growing and learning and always beneficial to be exposed to new things and stretch out of my comfort zone."
~Jackie Black PhD, BCC

And here are just some of the other participants takeaways:

A reminder of how cool the ontological approach is, bringing a client to focus on who they are being, not the problem.
After 10 plus years of coaching - I need to get back to basics!
The use of somatic focus to help clients break out repetitive thinking patterns that they may find themselves stuck in.
How important body awareness is to clarity.
The value of using the ontological framework in coaching. I use this all the time, and appreciated the creative way it was approached here to get the client out of her ''story.''
That interrupting the client firmly but with compassion has value. This was well demonstrated.
The value of tuning in to the body and emotions to help the client understand who they are being.

Annette Hurley MCC, BCC

Master Certified Executive Leadership, Wellness & Mentor Coach
Bonus: an additional 30 minutes on the call for extra Q&A

Coaching Scenario: The client is a coach who is a PCC preparing for her MCC. This is the first time that she and Annette have ever met or spoken.

Coaching Topic: " I'm challenged by how much/when/how to balance my own coaching voice and presence with trusting the client to take the lead. While I have invested time to listen and learn from MCCs, even they have PCC moments so it is difficult to know whether or not I am taking the ICF rubric too literally or appropriately examining my behaviors to ensure I'm moving out of PCC/virtuoso habits. One of my teachers said "what got you here [PCC] won't get you there [MCC]" but though I have identified what's holding me back I've yet to surmount it."

Some participant take-aways:

Annette clearly has many years of coaching experience and wisdom. I enjoyed the extra 30 minutes to debrief....that time was very valuable to hear how the coachee and the coach processed.
I really enjoyed the discussion we had in the Q&A regarding the clients expectations of discussing/solving her common stuck-point, when the microphone gets passed to her, and how this coaching conversation mirrored the challenge she’s been working on “ the client expecting the coach to solve their problem”. Great discussion!
Annette’s “inquiry” at the end resonated with me and is a question that I believe will be important for me to consider as I continue to develop.
Inspired to reflect on my goals as a coach. Curious to review “rules” for PCC and MCC and then use this to re-assess my skills and set intentional goals to continue self-improvement Thank you for a thought provoking topic!
Using my presence as a tool to self manage. I want to continue to hone my coaching presence and I move toward the MMC level of coaching
Was a great learning experience. Loved the discussion following the call!
Investing the time to co-create the relationship. The art of pacing the conversation so a potential energetic shift may occur
The journey to MCC is about self-managing. I will commit to focusing more on how i can use “pure” coaching with my clients who want me to offer consultative help, even if it’s uncomfortable.

Diana Ideus MCC

Some of the particpant take-aways:

All of it! But I think the length of the silence is what intrigued me most, allowing the client the time to process and write things down, and letting go of the feeling of having the next question, and just BEING WITH the client.
Ask brief questions using their words. See them on stage holding a microphone and me in the audience.
How brilliantly Diana was present and yet not taking up “space”--she aerated the call with possibilities for the client to process, reflect, and take notes.
Get this woman back for another MMC call!
Every coach needs to hear this call.
Her contracting extended for much of the call... was always aware of it!
My biggest takeaways from this call were the coaches presence and use of silence, and the awesome pacing…Absolutely loved this session, what a great Master Coach!
The power of summarizing and recapping periodically to make sure we’re tracking with the client, while also sharing observations and making distinctions to facilitate their reflection.
Diana brilliantly demonstrated the effectiveness of brief, powerful questions that literally took the client’s breath away!
the deep, deep silence
I better understand what it means to meet the client where they’re at vs. pushing them ahead by teaching new concepts!
This not only reinforced my direction, it demonstrated there’s even a deeper level beyond what I’ve been achieving.

The masterful way in which Diana asked the questions so that Jason identified his own solutions

Coaches vulnerability to share she didn’t pass ICF test 1st time.

Excellent book she wrote, I ordered it after visiting her website.

Judy Irving, MCC

Master Certified Executive, Leadership & Mentor Coach
Bonus: Judy's book: Living Courageously in a Changing World: 101 Tips for Authentic Success

Judy coached 2 clients for us!

Coaching Scenario 1: The 25 minute session was with a man who had never been coached before and this was the first time he and Judy had ever met or spoken:

Coaching Topic 1: "Even after 18 years in business, with a 500 page book about to be published on internet marketing and almost too many customers, I have no quality of life. I would like assistance with working with my employees -how to inspire them to be more empowered and to respect me more as boss so that I am able to achieve more life balance."

One participant on the call said to Judy:

"What you did was a brilliant example of coaching the system by inviting the client to look at his part in the system and how he creates his reality. I don't think he had the understanding of his part in the system, he was seeing the system in disparate pieces."

Coaching Scenario 2: This laser session was with a woman who has been coached before in branding & speaking. This was the first time she and Judy had ever met or spoken:

Coaching Topic 2: "I am an author and leader of a popular networking organization in Indianapolis. I would like a better understanding of how to navigate the road to go from where I am now to getting on talk shows and regular paid speaking engagements."

"Thank you for bringing Joelle K. Jay to your Master Coaching call. While I was listening to her session, I said to myself, “Now there is a master coach!” It seems that she lives and breathes the core competencies without a shred of artifice or seeming efforting. She’s just there with the client as a clear partner, calling the client to her greatness. Her respect for her client was palpable, while she deftly crafted the structure of the session with lightness AND firmness at the same time – all in service to her client’s goals and always dancing in the moment. She kept bringing the client back to her vision, holding the space for the client to hone what she wanted and then to explore how to get there. She asked the client to stay in touch with her feelings in the process, thus helping her anchor to what was most important to her and maximizing her empowerment. And all of this was done with joy and a distinct sense of fun. The client commented on that after the call. To my mind that’s mastery!" ~Bobbie Burdett, Bcc, PCC (applicant), Director of Training HealthWorld Online, www.authenticoach.com

"WOW ~ this call was wonderful for me. I heard so many coaching tools used at a high level which really resulted in the client reaching her brilliance and coming away with significant direction. I was also personally assisted in my own growth by putting myself in the chair of the client and asking what does this have to do with me and my own needs around the same issue. I took away strategies and tools for myself from the work of these two together today."~D Petersen, BCC Coaching for Well Being

Maggie Joao MCC

Executive, Medical, Mentor Coach & Coach Supervisor
Bonus: Additional 15 minutes for Q&A and review of examiner's feedback and scoring.

This is a different kind of call!

We heard one of Maggie's coaching sessions that passed the ICF MCC exam along with a review of the examiner's feedback and scoring. Followed then by a debriefing and Q&A with the Master Coach.

The coaching session runs approximately 21 minutes. So this was the first time we will hear a session under 30 minutes that met all the requirements to pass.

Please Note extended call time. Maggie gave us a bonus 15 minutes in order to have plenty of time.

Coaching Scenario: Maggie and Kamila didn’t really know each other before this session but they were both coaches and trainers for the same training provider. So Maggie invited her to be the client and of course thesession passed and Maggie received her MCC last year (2020).

Coaching Topic: She is redefining her business to include not just working with her clients but to package her knowledge into eBooks, books and recordings. She feels her “willing” is much higher than her doing. It’s very important to her to come up with steps that she not only wants to take but will take.

Some of the participant's take-aways:

A beautiful demonstration of trust and intimacy and powerful questioning. It can be a great opportunity for the client’s growth to ask challenging questions. Notice patterns and put it on the table asking, “what does this mean for you?”;
I loved what Maggie said at the end: 1. Trust yourself; 2. Trust the process/system/partnership; 3. Be in service; 4. Enjoy the ride. This is how I attempt to and want to approach every coaching conversation.
There’s some comfort in hearing that even a coach at the MCC level has to stay vigilant about coaching the person and not the problem.
How to dance with a Client during the session:
To be focused on using client’s metaphors
I love these MCC exam passing calls!!! Keep them coming!! Thanks!!
How simplicity can work magic in coaching a client to move forward efficiently and with conviction.
Coaching does not need to be hard... You can keep it simple, take it one step at a time, and be with your client. This resulted in a very efficient, and elegant session which delivered results for this client.
Just love these sessions, Gail - so real and so helpful as I evolve as a coach.
The power to explore the client’s metaphor in birthing her plans. The power of expansive questions that created intimacy and trust in a very short time.
Pay attention to the patterns during the session and lay them out on the table. Keep only a few notes – clients’; words that have meaning for them and perhaps a pattern around them. Loved her last 4 pieces of wise advice.
Make sure I am checking in with the client to ensure the session is meeting the client’s goals.
The impact of using metaphors, client’s words and short questions. Check with the client on the progress during the session
Helping clients connect what excites them to what their next steps might be in pursuing their goals.
Incredible session! The ease and simplicity of it was brilliant.
The coaching session was seamless and highly effective in only 22 minutes. No need to prolong things when the coach is skilled! The client got exceptional value.
Spend more time on the agreement with the client. Make sure the contracting is solid.
Just love these sessions, Gail - so real and so helpful as I evolve as a coach.

Coaching Topic: "I get 95% of a project completed, and then won't finish the rest. I

I can easily finish projects for other people and other businesses, but when It comes to me, I often let things fall by the sidelines.A lot of times I get distracted by new projects. What's the block, what is stopping me from getting things done? Im very skilled with lots of education, why cant I finish things?"

Some of the participant take-aways:

How powerful simply holding space for a client to explore really can be, especially when done with lightness!

I’m taking away joy with Terrie's coaching! Effortless, light & true impact.

Just that master's touch - giving power to the client, light but deep, EASY!

Terrie beautifully and lightly accompanied Joseph in his exploration...she articulated and pointed to areas that were coming up in the exploration that he may not have been aware of, to help him decide where to focus their time. He was really the ''star'' of this session. Also loved what she said about getting trapped as coaches listening too closely to the words but to listen to the energy as well as the words...loved that.

I am going to try to wear the metaphor of my client being the ''star'' and me being the able reflector and observer, lightly accompanying him on his journey and pointing things out along the way. I quite like that.

Continue to stay curious, get agreement from the client, check in with the client, acknowledge, and go deeper--not rush to strategies and/or problem solving.

And you can see Terrie's call where she and 2 other Master Coaches coach the same client back to back under the "3 MCC" tab

Sam Magill MCC

Executive, Leadership & Coach Supervisor for this call
Special Bonus: the call is extended for an additional 30 minutes to cover the elements below.

This was a different kind of call & an MMC first!
2 MCCs for the price of one!

Sam begins by talking to us about coaching supervision, his passion and area of expertise.
Then we hear Sherryl T. Christie coaching one of her real world executive clients
Sam then demonstrates what he talked about and actually supervises Sherryl
Finally there's a Q&A

Coaching Scenario: Mike the client, is an executive and he and Sherryl have been coaching together off and on since 2011. They have been on a bit of a hiatus and so this is the first session theyve had for about 7 months.

Coaching Topic: Mike says his pattern has been to micro manage and take on things that other people arent handling well but knows it’s not sustainable or in the best interest of anyone. He's given an employee a huge project but feels this employee has a similar pathology. The project is not going well and the team is having problems with him. Mike says he’s always been of the mindset “accomplish the mission at any cost” and tends to be a direct bottom line kind of guy. He really wants to know how to approach this differently so that he can help the employee to develop his skillset and grow while also accomplishing the goals of the company.

Some of the participant take-aways:

Super-vision! Love it! Thanks to Sam and Sherryl for this learning experience!
Gratefulness to witness 2 coaching sessions one being supervision of an MCC. Wow!
How, when direct communication is done with the intent of helping the client get back on track, it can be very powerful.
Thank you for integrating supervision and doubling the MCCs, I so appreciate the variety and complexity.
As Sheryl spoke about, I am often ahead of my clients and need to slow down even more.
Great to listen to the coaching session within the supervision context. How do you know when you are a good enough coach?? was an amazing supervision question.
Paying attention to parallel processes in my coaching sessions...i.e. me doing with the client what he/she is doing in his/her life.
Continuing to note my own urges to advise and not coach.
This call was fantastic, thank you! I loved Sam’s introduction to and definition of supervision: in that it helps the beginner and master coach, increase the moments of mastery. Brilliant!
I will forever continue the process of supervision/mentor coaching in order to continue to be my best self, and best coach for my clients.
Loved learning about super-vision and the difference between that and mentor coaching.
How useful it is to have an observer of the observer!
Excellent learning opportunity
When we hope for but don’t see results in a session, we must remember that the client needs time to reflect. The learning and action most often come after the session.

Some of the participant take-aways:

"I was surprised by Meg's humble attitude about her mastery. I could relate to her struggle with her perfectionism and confidence about her session. I appreciated her discussion about how natural that is as a coach, and how we often are very hard on ourselves immediately after a session thinking what we could have, or should have done differently. Her sharing her experiences of clients returning and reporting back the positive feelings they had the following week after the call, and the importance of just being with them in the process, and not being attached to the outcome, is something we all need to continue to work on, and I will remember listening in on this master. Thank you Meg, for your transparency."
"I really liked Megs consistent use of the clients own language throughout the entirety of the session. I loved how (in coaching with the client), she distinguished the difference between "best fit" "most sense" and "calling".
"This coach was very "real" & a masterful accompaniment of the client, meeting her where she needed to be and creating a safe space for exploration."
"Superb establishing the agreement"
"Loved Meg's transparency with her own process, encouraging us all to simply let go and trust the process....that's enough."
"I really liked Meg's technique of having the client write down the "ingredients to her recipe". That's where I heard a major shift in her thinking."
" Highly beneficial"
"Great model of using energy on a phone call"

Megs 2nd call which demonstrated coach mentoring from a Master who has also served as an ICF assessor.

This was a different kind of MMC call. We first heard a PCC coach who is going for her MCC conducting a live coaching session with one her real world clients. We then heard Meg mentor her. As a bonus we had an additional 30 minutes to make sure we had plenty of time to delve in, debrief and get all of our questions answered.

Coaching Scenario: Tara is a leadership & top teams coach and she brought her client Veronica who is not in the coaching profession to the call to be coached.

Coaching Topic: Veronica wants to explore her re awakening desire to study again and the underlying reasons as to why she’s tempted to study. Is it something she’s really yearning for and a good idea or is it just a fanciful idea that she will get soon become disenchanted with?

Some of the participant take-aways:

“Meg was so supportive, acknowledging and encouraging. She provided such refined and nuanced insights”
“DYNAMITE!!”
“The simplicity, prioritizing space for the client’s awareness, the high awareness of the client’s voice/energy.”
“To get agreement by fully exploring what the client really wants. This exploration is coaching. If I do this well, other competencies will fall into place.”
“Really liked the coaching demonstration—thought it was masterful. The mentor coaching following was icing on the cake!”
“I really appreciated Meg’s debrief of the client - taking the time to go deeper with her.”
“another example of coaching with competencies in mind”
“How valuable and important mentoring is. It can help you see things you were unaware of- shed new insights, take you deeper into your understanding or just help you to finesse the coaching!”
“Inspired by masterful mentoring”
“I liked the way Meg spent more time with the client, exploring her experience more deeply.”
” Right off the bat, I liked how Meg set up the session for Tara. , it’s amazing how that one little step right at the beginning of a mentor call, can provide centering, presence, and ease stress/pressure off the coach.

Christine Martin MCC

Master Certified Executive Coach
Bonus: Article: How Feeling Ambivalent Can Improve Your Decisions (EI and the research)

Coaching Scenario: The client is a coach but this is the first time that she and Christine have ever met or spoken.

Coaching Topic: About 10 years ago, I started on a journey in the world of positive psychology by taking a prestigious masters program and working to bring that to the world of business through speaking, coaching, consulting and training. However, I have not done that. Despite ideas for several books, engagements, ways to market myself, and a deep belief that I have something great to offer the world, I have sat around and done nothing except get a decade older and watch my kids grow up. I am doing a few small things, but would love to take my game up to the global stage.

Some of the participant take-aways:

"I loved when she said one has to practice coaching without the need to help. The ability to stay apart, but become connected."
"I saw the importance of the coach allowing the client to see her humanity as a way of connecting with the client"Challenge of addressing client issues that are similar to our own."
"To remind myself of my own bias and to be mindful of how it might color my coaching."
"The importance of building relationship with the client through connection and vulnerability"
"Coaching is not about helping or fixing. Coaching is about discovery."
"I loved Christine’s transparency with the client, sharing the mirror effect that was occurring for her."
"Establishing what the client wants to get from the session is the most crucial thing to do in a session."
"Resisting the temptation to offer my own story/experience."
"I found the discussion about what the coach shared about her own journey interesting. I would have liked more time to discuss this."

Allan Milham MCC

Master Certified Executive & Leadership Coach
Allan is the author of Out of the Question: How Curious Leaders Win and co-author of the Amazon Top 100 bestseller, Bold Moves: Jump to Outstanding Self-Managed Action and the corporate workbook, Empathy: Connecting with the Customer.

Bonus: his Amazon #1 bestselling book- Bold Moves: Jump to Outstanding Self Managed Action. This interactive online journal version allows us to record our thoughts, actions, ideas on the right margin in relation to our next bold move.

Coaching Scenario: My goal for this series is for us to have the opportunity to hear as many different types of situations as possible and this call provided a different and first time scenario! One of Allan's previous high level executive clients was scheduled for the call. However she didn't show and I found out later that she hadn't taken the different timezone into account. So anyway one of the participants stepped up and had the good fortune of being coached by Allan on the call.

The scenario is that Allan was anticipating coaching a client he knows and in a niche that is his forte. So we got to witness his mastery at being able to switch on a dime, maintain profound presence and prove that if you are masterful you can coach anyone.

Coaching Topic: Sarah's book is at the publishers and will be coming out in the next month or so. She has qusetions, concerns and fears about the steps that she needs to take to successfully launch the book.

Here are some of the participant takeaways:

"The importance of Coaching Presence. It is something we all heard on day #1 in coach training; but this stunning real-time reminder was tremendously valuable. Allan's coaching presence was strong, clear and elegant."
"A heightened awareness to the importance of "clean language" and attentive listening"
"How Allan skillfully focused on her emotional tone and was able to partner with her so that she could begin to celebrate her achievement"
"A gratitude for Allan's beautiful presence as a coach"
"It was very good coaching. Im taking away how important it is to dance in the moment as Alan and Sarah did!"
"How crucial self-management, as a coach is to the ability to be fully present for the client. Also the importance of curiosity and powerful questions in shifting the conversation towards new perspectives."
"Excellent coaching works in a variety of contexts -- from executive to entrepreneur to life."
"Great reminders on self management and the "clean white room"."
"Use of probing questions to address limiting beliefs."

Jim Milner MBA, BCC, MCC

Some of the participant take-aways:

Incredible call! One of the very best ever.
When asking where a feeling is showing up in the client’s body, follow it with a 2nd question: “what is that telling you?” Triples the impact!
I was tremendously impressed with how Jim responded each time the client asked to be told how to do something - i.e. “what would you have me tell you?” That tapped right into the client’s wisdom!
Jim talked about investing time to deeply build the coaching agreement.
Another perspective to the core competencies
To be comfortable with silence. To ask “what else?”
I am taking way Jim’s approach to building the coaching agreement, which does not need to happen all in the first few minutes of the session.
My biggest take away from this call was watching the process of believing in the client in full-force. The coach held the space, and the belief that the client had his own answers even in those moments when the client felt most “stuck”, and repeatedly wanted the coach to “tell me what to do” or “what’s the right answer for my problem”? Jim Milner stuck to the core competency, and simply continued to put the question back on the client. The client dug deep, experienced vulnerability; hit some core emotional pieces and will ultimately have accountability and personal responsibility, which is at the core of personal growth; all thanks to this call with Jim
Coaching questions and the core competencies
That coaching can transcend diversity. This was stated so beautifully. Also, the importance of the coaching agreement. “Coaching without an agreement is a conversation”.
To trust the process of coaching and to trust myself through that process.
This was an excellent call!
Revisiting the coaching agreement when the client seems to be deviating off topic.
To paraphrase and then ask a thought provoking question.
I will continue to commit to do my best to ALWAYS honor the client as the expert of their life, and stand my ground when the client pushes back hard. This is authentic and genuine “tough-love” in service of the client and their beautiful journey. Lovely demonstration to witness.

Some of the participant's take-aways:

Cathy’s call was incredible. I loved her coaching presence, powerful questions, and the way she built off the client responses to dive deep. It was transformational coaching at its best.
Introducing myself to myself; Questions: What would you want the child to forgive yourself for? Who do you need to be to come face to face with yourself? I found value in what the coach said about working with clients who may not be as emotionally intelligent as this client: to speak their language.
How much our clients' “topics” often are a reflection of our own experiences as a Coach. The importance of introducing myself to myself!
I especially appreciated the partnership as equals that Cathy and Thomas co-created. Thank you!
Lovely, evocative exploration between client and coach, which enabled client to reclaim parts of his inner child and face his fears.
Masterful coaching results when we learn to master ourselves; we move beyond thinking about or doing the process of coaching. We become the process--we live it. The coach demonstrated this. She was present and had trust and rapport with her client. A beautiful dance ensued as the coach listened deeply, asked powerful questions, and the client responded with an open heart.
This call was a powerful example of a coach who trusts her intuition and abilities as an empath.
Takeaway -- remember that I am more than just a coach -- bring my whole self into the coaching relationship.
eloquence and ease
That using scales can sometimes be valuable
Great call exemplifying masterful coaching methodology and process.
Integrating emotional intelligence into work as well as technique of practicing turning statements into questions.
I’ve always been a bit reticent to work with client metaphors as I can sometimes get lost, but loved the way Cathy did that and it has encouraged me to explore that more.
I thought the call was very beneficial.
This was an amazing and powerful coaching session!
This affirms the power of coaching, and that as I continue to grow in confidence and the art of coaching, I see the wonderful road I am on. This client is incredibly open and receptive to wherever the session goes.
Great observations about what was going on in the client’s body language
Leverage my intuition more

Some participant take-aways:

I’m impressed how much Marilyn accomplished in a short time by being direct and succinct and, by her stabilizing confidence. So fun to listen to these true masters!
I applaud her context setting in the beginning.
Her use of acknowledgement and affirmation with the client at different points, even in a short session, was powerful.
Using visualization of future perfect as more of a tool
A reinforced appreciation for the value of the structure of a coaching session
Her incredible use of direct communication. Her understanding of culture, how fast it moves and the stress it brings.
Ideas and concepts to strengthen my use of direct communication.
I like how Marilyn set up the call with the client, mentioning it as a partnership, asking about triggers, asking the client what she will do if a trigger happens, and asking if there is any cultural background that she may want to share before getting started, and the mini-story about why that is important. I liked the visioning she used and the physical action (stepping over the line) that she asked of the client to portray her commitment to her goal. I will be using both of these in my coaching sessions.
Idea that it’s not enough to just think about things, but also to experience them in the body.
Checking for cultural issues and client presence on the front end of the session.

Marilyn's different kind of MMC call

This was a different kind of call. We got to be a "fly on the wall" to Marilyn's private mentor coaching process. We listened to her client's recorded coaching session and to Marilyn stopping it along the way to mentor her and point out and comment on the competencies and the PCC Markers. Afterwards we had a debriefing and Q&A with Liz and Marilyn. As a bonus Marilyn gave us an additional 30 minutes to get it all in!

FYI Marilyn is an expert in cultural bias.

Some of the participant take-aways:

It was really helpful hearing Marilyn go through the competencies and how they relate to the coaching and the PCC markers.
All of the core competencies in action in a coaching session - and having those explained very thoroughly.
I like that Marilyn validated that creating awareness doesn’t have to be with questions, it can be through the body.
Culture can mean relationship dynamics with a client.
I appreciated this call in that I was able to see a fellow coach use embodiment and somatic experiencing in their coaching session/practice and to see the shift that took place for the client.
Need to get up to speed on understanding how to check in on cultural issues and how to be culturally competent.
First time I’ve listened in on a mentor session. Found it very helpful.
Marilyn expanded my understanding of bias and cultural competence.
Ask myself before each new client or call if I’m coming to the session with any assumptions about that person or the value of their agenda.
Being more consistent in how I structure my sessions
The notion of culturally competent. Had not heard of this but makes sense.
The coaching was brilliant and clarifying the competencies throughout the coaching session was very helpful.
Specifically to incorporate the value of imagining your future self scenario. It is a significant tool I have not incorporated yet in my coaching

Some of the participants take-aways:

I appreciated how although he had a teacher student relationship with the client outside the call, that was not apparent in the session at all. And I think that has a lot to do with him honoring the client as the expert in her life, and that was a beautiful example of that. I will be taking that reminder away from this call.
Mickey had a great relationship and connection with his client. His presence, and tracking with her was on point. He spent a lot of time establishing the agenda. Her goal of getting clear on her vision really evolved from the beginning of the call to the end thanks to his coaching. He used many coaching tools in the toolbox, acknowledging, scaling, metaview, etc.
Great call. I would love to have his dissertation to read. Can you/he forward to us. I enjoyed his interaction and insights he shared on the extra time.
The exploration phase is key...take the time.
Thanks so much! Helpful to hear another coach explore a pioneering venture.
PCC sessions are usually 50% awareness where MCC sessions aim for 100% awareness, with any actions flowing naturally from that awareness
I want to pay more attention to my level of awareness when I’m coaching.

In this session we heard a master (executive coach) walk the fine line between coaching and therapy and not cross over it. We witnessed how coaching can deal with emotions beautifully (as they are a big part of being human!), help the person see through the gunk and move forward.

Some of the participant take-aways:

One of the best calls you have ever had! Teresa did SUCH a beautiful job. I want to be like her when I grow up - that was elegant coaching.
It was an honour to witness the incredible skill with which the coach weaved the conversation. After the session Teresa explained the "trade secrets" , i.e the profound and fundamental difference between masterful coaching and other forms of coaching.
This call was another example of the amazing shifts and changes that can happen deep inside a person in a short time using coaching skills.
What a masterful call! Especially appreciated the explanation of PCC vs. MCC coaching differences. Teresa's skill was incredible; something to strive for!
The importance of the complete reliance on the client's knowledge
WOW!!! What a call with Teresa Pool!!! I look forward to listening again and learning even more from this great gift.
Great call and great steering around potential therapeutic issues

Some of the participant take-aways:

The coach’s presence, compassion, active deep listening, curiosity, and consistent acknowledgement of the clients passion and drive.
I especially appreciated the masterful dialogue at the end of the call with Marty. Very Beneficial!!!
Challenging ourselves and our clients by asking “What conversations are you missing or avoiding?”
Better insights on the use of direct communication.
I acknowledge Marty’s point of view that powerful questions and listening as she said “with curiosity”; are the most important points in coaching.
Asking permission to ask powerful questions and not be afraid to ask them.
I loved the question about what would her client want to declare and walking her through the process.
I really picked up on the coach’s “groundedness” she was describing, and that is something I aspire to work on, and achieve with my clients.
The HOW to have a conversation and when is critical as a leader
I got so much from the 5 conversations she talked about in the Q&A

Call #2

Coaching Scenario: Sue didnt want to know anything about the client ahead of time and so did not see her topic. The client is not in the coaching profession, in fact has never been coached before and this was the first time she and Sue had ever met or spoken.

Coaching Topic: "I've recently started a small business and am still working full-time as an elementary teacher. I want to be coached on how to make my vision a reality. I know what I want and I know my business ideas are high value, but it's difficult to go from employee to business owner. The very successful people I know are driven and have laser-sharp focus on their goals. I want to have that same sharpness and live up to my potential."

Some participant take-aways:

The coach clarified with little words which allowed the client to feel heard without too much recapping/paraphrasing done from the coach. I am working on this skill set right now in my sessions. It is a skill that feels challenging at the moment to master. Nice to see it in action; thank you.
Several ways to pull from the client that which she already knows. Powerful affirming throughout the call the client can expand upon. A lot of wonderful concepts for the client to take in...and draw from.
Just affirming that in my business coaching it serves sometimes to be a bit more directive... especially through the power of observations and reflecting.
Consciously using the 3 part questions Sue identified in order to set the contract
What I liked most from this call was all the acknowledgements Sue gave Jennifer. The client struggles with what people will think of her (her success/failure) and to have a lot of positive acknowledgements of who she is (not just what she has done), I think was very important. I also noticed and liked that the coach picked up on the client’s values of contribution and fulfillment.
Assisting a client to move from a long agenda to their main desire for the session
I appreciated how much time the coach spent on setting the agenda and how clear the process was
Intimacy - “into me see” - great reminder to work with client to delve into self-awareness

"The power of heart-centered coaching."

Master Certified Executive Life Coach
Bonus: 15 additional minutes for a discussion on the use of "the mirror" in coaching and it's value

Some of the participant take-aways:

Lynn’s presence was phenomenal!
The importance of humility and beginner’s mind. What will be the client’s gift to themselves when I let go? This is a succinct reminder to us all!
Amazed at how quickly a master coach can get to the root of the question without it feeling like it was rushed. Also, today how much “the who” was combined with “the what” in an easy comfortable way.
To continue to check in with my clients throughout our coaching. To be able to seamlessly acknowledge clients.
Masterful questioning!
I am grateful for Lynn having given this live coaching session - lot's of beautiful questions, energy, listening and connection.
Don’t be afraid to ask clarifying questions repeatedly and helping client break down the road ahead into small pieces (baby steps)
Patience. When the client was all over the place with ideas in the beginning, I may have pushed him into picking a topic. She let him go all over the place which resulted in him creating a mind-map of ideas, which was much more valuable to him.
I have felt a little guilty learning from my clients. After Lynn talked (about “the mirror”), I can confidently enjoy my learning as well and still be in control as a coach! Thank you.
Focus on the “who” first with clients and the “what” will follow.
To always ask myself, what is the mirror here?

Kathleen Stinnett MCC

Executive, Leadership Development & Coach Supervision
Bonuses: additional 15 minutes to demo coach supervision, PDFs -Creative Possibilities in Coaching and Coaching Gets Results

Different kind of call!

Kathleen of course demonstrated MCC coaching skills. She initially though talked to us about the specific skills she intended to (an did) focus on in during the session e.g. immediacy and creativity.

After the coaching there was Q&A and Kathleen asked for some of the participants to share what they picked up on and how they might have used those skills in the session and then got feedback from the client.

Finally during the bonus 15 minutes Kathleen demonstrated coaching supervision with a coach who's having a challenge with one of her clients. Kathleen also showed us how those same skills that she spoke about and demonstrated, show up in coaching supervision!

Coaching Scenario: The client is a coach. She and Kathleen met a few yesr ago in a workshop and they have peer coached each other a couple times a year.

Coaching Topic: Wants to focus on how her life will look and feel in the near future. She has come through a period of great demands- her work, children, aging parents etc. with her "head down just going through the motions" and she wants to move forward in a more "thoughtful way"

Some of the participant take-aways:

I loved the uniqueness of this MMC call, everything from listening in with the intent to notice images, feelings, metaphors, and colors that come up for me during the coaching session, and how to use them to assist the client, and the uplifting positive vibration of the call by inviting in play (despite the topic which felt gray at times). Loved watching the gray shift for the client to yellow, all within the framework of metaphor and imagery was pretty fascinating. I also loved the bonus session, of an example group mentor coaching session/speeddating supervision.? LOL. Can’t wait to learn more from Kathleen.
To give myself permission to think less and feel more
It ranks at the top of my experiences with these valuable calls. I have been exploring listening to the stillness under the words and her share and demonstration of immediacy was amazing.
I definitely learned some new skills from this call, in addition to feeling myself dusting off some of my old skills that I previously had in my tool box that may have had some cob webs on them. (See that right there, already using metaphor; it feels contagious after this call). LOL I plan to practice the new and the old skills more in my coaching sessions with my clients, because it was a beautiful demonstration of how helpful they can be with a client.
Expressing how I feel when listening to client - the power of mirror neurons
Reminder of the power of feelings, mirroring, metaphors, and intuition as tools in the coaching conversation to help move things forward and open pathways
I loved this call. This was a great demonstration of the coach using immediacy and other creative resources i.e., metaphor, images, sounds, etc. throughout the coaching process. The supervision part of the call was really interesting as I was in the fishbowl. Very insightful. I can see how supervision--working as a group or individually--could be very valuable.
How important a tool it is to connect to emotional listening so you can dance in the moment with the client
The imagery Kathleen used with me was great. Helped me as client and coach!

Adria Trowhill, MCC

Bonus: 3 articles written by Adria on coaching

Coaching Topic: the client is in the midst of creating a business that is a huge undertaking and is being very well received. She is concerned about losing sight of whats important to her and wants to make sure she keeps her focus on how she is "being" while involved in the "doing".

One participant on the skyped in saying:

"I was impressed with how much time Adria took to set the agreement. I looked at the clock and it was nearly half of the session! It really worked."

Its very obvious why Adria Trowhill, MCC is a 4X award winning coach! Just hearing the 1st few minutes of her coaching session blew a number of us off the map. We agreed that we'd never heard a session set up that way before and that we're going to "steal" it!!!

Karl Van Hoey MCC

Executive, Team, Mentor & Coach Supervisor
Bonus: Additional 30 minutes of discussion and Q&A

Coaching Scenario: Karl coaches a real-world executive client who he met only briefly before the call.

Coaching Topic: "I struggle with the less concrete, or emotional, aspects of leadership where people feel inspired by me. I feel I possess many of the more tangible qualities that allow me to effectively guide an organization towards success, such as objective decision making, efficient prioritization and resource allocation, and strategic vision. But I don't feel I have whatever sort of charisma is needed for people to want to be led by me."

Some of the participant take-aways:

How to stay with someone who relies so heavily on the rational side of things.
I loved what K. Van Hoey said about “the mastery over yourself”.
This call took my breath away. His coaching presence was so masterful. Every single question was powerful and advanced the client’s understanding of self. Something to be in awe of!
To lean into my ability to energetically connect with client and to explore and observe vs. focus on question generation.
A good reminder to nail down a specific coaching agreement
Explore the meaning of the words the client is using.
Be respectful of the client’s comfort level and don’t push beyond it, especially early in the relationship.
How to stop doing the work for my clients by asking better questions.
Elicit and delve into feeling. Engaged listening.
Karl’s coaching presence was extraordinary. What I most admired was how every single question was an invitation into deeper water with a sense of curiosity and lightness.
I always listen for feeling, but I now see the benefit seeking feeling as an opportunity for exploration.
A key shift to masterful coaching occurs when the coach moves into a holistic mode of presence that includes curiosity, observation, and the sharing of those observations with the client. The coach demonstrated this by noticing and sharing the client’s use of specific words, expressions, and changes in voice tempo.
I really appreciated how Karl shared about his own journey--the shifts he had to make in order to make the leap from PCC to MCC.
Continued fascination with unlocking each human. And Karl’s powerful noticing of each significant word.

Some of the participant take-aways:

Connecting heart to head yields big moments
Several effective ways to handle clients who bring up significant issues in the last 10 minutes of a coaching session.
What a special joy this session was- the 90 minutes fairly flew! The debrief conversation was like being with longtime friends who challenge and learn from each other.
I like that he stopped her head from talking and asked her to come from her heart and his confirmation to us that the heart’s message is short and simple.
Always assisting our clients in getting to the real underlying issue at hand.
Loved the way he had her move from Head to Heart. I will use that!
transformational coaching vs. transactional coaching
Dr. Williams described several effective ways to handle clients who bring up significant issues in the last 10 minutes of a coaching session.
Being more curious
Pat’s question to his client,”what’s the message in those emotions” and his subsequent debrief around this topic is readily applicable to any coaching situation. I will listen even more closely than I already do for emotions and tonal shifts, with the mindset of uncovering the “messages” within.
I will be more courageous when working with clients who bring all of their emotional reactions to our coaching conversation.
I especially liked the specific questions Dr. Williams asked to set up the action items with the client and then how he reinforced her commitment to address those topics after the call.
I enjoyed how Dr. William injected his personality into the coaching as it was very natural and supportive to his client.
Best questions to ask should be Brief, Understandable, and Compassionately Curious
The call with Dr. Patrick Williams was great.
This was my first call and it was outstanding! Looking forward to participating in many “Moore” :)
