ICF MCC Exam Session with a Twist & MMC First!

Coaching mastery is achieved in part by exploring and dissecting our less than masterful moments. This is why mentoring is so valuable.

And it's why this call with Marc is really exciting. We heard a coaching session that he submitted for the ICF Master Certified Coach exam. 

The Twist: it is not one of the sessions that awarded him his MCC! But now it's being used in great service to coaches! 

We chose to go with this coaching session in order to focus the learning on: 

• What wasn't considered masterful enough

• Why that is

• Ways it might have been done differently to be more masterful, more beneficial for the client 

Hearing the differences in this way, with a side by side comparison, provides learning that only this kind of demonstration can.

Coaching Scenario: Marc met Ally when he was his instructor in a coaching course. Marc also mentored Ally. Then they stayed connected through their interest in bike riding and eventually got into a formal coaching relationship. 

Coaching Topic: He wants to progress through the ICF process and get his PCC. He’s finding the CCEU part very confusing and challenging. How to find meaningful programs and living in Scotland finding them at an affordable price

Some of the participant's take-aways:

• Very helpful call format in reviewing "failure", as opposed to success in meeting coaching certification requirements.  This approach should be incorporated more often! 
• This was a great experience that was made even greater by the coach’s humility as he shared his learning. He modeled the value of “stepping into feedback” and continually learning.  I learned that a way to more masterful coaching is to take every opportunity to reflect and learn from each coaching conversation--and that something new may be learned each time that conversation is listened to.
• To be aware of how familiarity with a client can impact my presence and who I am “being” in the coaching conversation. To be a true partner, stay curious, explore, and evoke awareness without influencing or leading clients.
• I found the discussion around ways to check in with clients when they have breakthroughs to be very helpful--especially how it’s not about looking like “approval” by the coach.
• This was maybe even more valuable than listening to MCC calls that passed! So much insight and learning about what to watch out for and pitfalls. Fascinating, Thank you!!
• Marc’s heart & humility!
• The importance of getting a “thumbs up”; from mentor coaches for the selected recordings to include with an application; We’re all on a learning curve -- just because a coach makes mistakes now doesn’t mean they won’t develop mastery!
• Be attentive to familiarity in coaching.  Knowing the person really well (personally) can result in making assumptions about what the person truly means. It impacts natural curiosity.
• Importance to self-management and maintaining coaching mindset and state of “being”, of being a coach.
• The point around being careful not to demonstrate approval when celebrating client wins
• It was interesting to be attuned to the contrast of looking for mistakes rather than just successful “masterful” technique.  The presenting coach’s courage in sharing the session, along with noted critique was also a valuable example of modeled healthy introspective behavior for coaches.
• This approach was refreshing and offered an interesting and productive perspective in furthering coaching development.
• To ask the client what certain words mean to them and to ask them to come up with their own metaphors.

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

Please Note  Jessica's coaching session runs around 53 minutes, so she gave us a bonus 30 minutes in order to have plenty of time for debrief and Q&A. The call provides 1.5 CEUs. 

Coaching Scenario: She was one of Jessica's real-world clients a couple of years ago and they coached together for about 7 sessions.

Coaching Topic: This client is in health care delivery and is applying for an internal position as an assistant dean. It’s a brand-new position so there’s no one to ask about what to expect. Would like a better understanding of things she should be thinking about at least for the interview process.

• I am VERY appreciative of this coach’s insight! 
• She’s so open with the pitfalls of trying to move forward in her own coaching technique.
• Excellent brief, powerful questions. 
• I really like her coaching style. I think I would like to be coached by her.
• Truly - that was great reinforcement & training - setting the coaching tone deeply.
• Playing with the balance between spacious/not getting ahead of the client/neutral with innovation/deep client connection.
• I hope I have the same determination as Jessica demonstrated (in getting her MCC). It’s encouraging! 
• The point she made of being careful about getting “into” the client’s work, where laughing could be interpreted as leading, rather than acknowledgement or affirmation.
• The diligence of the process and time it took to get to a proper MCC recording.
• Amazing call. I so appreciated her openness and candor.
• This was a particularly valuable call -- Focused relevant questions, effective rapport, easy flow, blend of tools.
• I thought this was a great call- great demo of a well-structured and implemented coaching session.
• It was also nice to hear a master coach be so humble and share about her stumbles in her process towards attaining the MCC credential. Thanks!
• Loved watching the coach dance with the client. 
• Her calm presence
• Remember to not stack my questions!
• Ensuring I leave plenty of space for the client to do their own work.  Make sure that I use the client’s language.

Bonus: 30 extra minutes for additional discussion and Q&A including the examiner's feedback

Different kind of MMC call!

This was the very first of these calls. It was unprecedented! We got to hear Elene's coaching session that passed the ICF MCC exam, debrief it with Elene, hear the comments of the ICF assessors and ask questions!

Coaching Scenario: Michelle hasn’t been a formal client of Elene’s since 2008. However she and Elene have worked together  professionally since then in joint workshops. Michelle is a speech pathologist and they have also brought each other in on different engagements.  And so in 2017 Elene asked Michelle if she would like a free coaching session in exchange for the session being recorded and submitted for the exam.

Coaching Topic: Wants to know how to deal with mistakes. How to get back on track and not get cynical about it. How to continue to have things continue to be working and humming along without being hard on herself. Wants to balance the extremes.

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!

Different kind of MMC call!

Lyssa came back for another call to share the recording of her coaching session that passed the ICF MCC exam plus the examiners feedback. She gave an additional 30 minutes for debrief and Q&A. You can read about Lyssa's call where she conducted a live coaching session with a client she had never met and had never been coached before under the "narrative" or "relationship" niche tab

Coaching scenario: Pam is a long time on-going client of Lyssas- since @2013.

Coaching topic: She's feeling very stuck as to what to do and how to move forward. She loves being alone and wonders if she should stay with her boyfriend who ultimately would like it to be more. She's worried that maybe her pattern and that she will always find an issue and never be able to be fully comimitted to someone.

Some of the participant take-aways:

• I thought the coaching was brilliant
• Patience, patience, patience. Even when the client says “I don?t know”, keep being curious because they do know!
• Loved Lyssa’s style! Her depth of listening and presence to be in the soup with the client and ask only what was necessary to help the client take one step forward at a time!
• Exquisite example of how to help a client who is feeling really stuck break through and begin to move forward.
• To relax and trust the process-even if the client feels totally stuck, using metaphor and simple questions with slow pacing was enough to help her break into a new space
• Ask questions based on what’s important for the benefit of the client rather than for my curiosity
• Creating “presence” first as the first communication
• Having the client create visuals to describe their focus for the call and/or feelings and then referencing that visual throughout the session.
• So many of her methods and ways of being were new and inspiring
• How the ICF assessors rated the call
• Good examples for the coaches I mentor
• How you really have to believe in your client’s wholeness, even when they are going through difficult life experiences.
• The multiple check in moments with what the client was physically feeling, and using that as a gauge of her progress.
• Building on client metaphors, and getting clarity on what the metaphor means, not to me, but to the client.
• The power of metaphor. Loved how the client’s metaphor about the pot could also reflect a coach approach.

Some of the particpants take-aways:

• “This session went so deep using the power of metaphor. It was such a gift witnessing the coach’s mastery in weaving it throughout the session, using reflection and powerful and unusual questioning to take the client deeper and deeper.”
• “The power of sharing the coach’s observation and following with an exploration of the client’s self-observation.  And the power of visioning in the session.”
• “It was a beautifying and elegantly progressed session with spaciousness and such powerful presence.” 
• "The importance of pauses and creating space for the client to reflect."
• "Reminded of the power of metaphors; surprised that a session which included a guided meditation passed the MCC exam, but obviously if carefully done making sure the client is leading the way it can be done"

• "This session was truly amazing in all ways! One of my favorites"

ICF (BARS) Exam Coaching Session

We isten to one of Sharaf's coaching sessions that passed the ICF MCC exam under the new BARS assessment method/rating.

This session masterfully weaves all the competencies necessary to pass in approximately 30 minutes!

Sharaf is also giving us:

• the transcript of the coaching session
• the ICF MCC Performance Evaluation

Coaching Scenario: Sharaf and Matthew have known each other for about two years and have been coaching together ever since. Matthew is a coach.

Coaching Topic: Matthew is really upset that a company he was hired by to teach a class asked him just that morning to remove the resources he had so carefully vetted to give to the class. Wants clarity about whether to just let it go and do what they ask and not risk losing the job or honor himself and let them know how he feels. And if so what to say.

Some of the participant takeaways:

•    How Sharaf knew what to cherry pick out of the conversation eg “what’s honesty” or asking Matthew how being a strategic communicator would add to his response. So clever! This question enabled Matthew to access his higher self AND the question flushed out one on Matthew’s core concerns
•    To speak less, to pull out a key word to ask about, keep my questions succinct.  
•    The journey to become MCC need not be hasty and exposure to a wide variety of coaches/mentors is important.
•    How little Sharaf spoke
•    I am going to say to myself before each of my sessions: listen as though English is not your first language. I will listen more deeply and not make any assumptions, just a Sharaf so beautifully did!
•    Practice deep listening and be comfortable with long silence
•    Get better at letting the client drive the measure of success, and not to keep pushing a tangible measure if it does not feel right. It is an art form, not a science formula.
•    I feel like the coach’s recognition of the difference in the client’s energy was really key for the client. Like picking up on and asking “what’s still in there?”
•    So appreciated Sharaf’s:
- tone of voice
- the amazing silences
- his natural questions
•    Sharaf used silence so well!  He seemed comfortable with prolonged moments of silence either after he asked a question or after Matthew was done sharing.
•    the spacious coaches reset my presence.
•    Not being so hard on myself about the specific language used in a question!
•    The importance of giving space to the client.

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.

Some of the participant take-aways:

• 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.

Coaching Scenario: This client is a business executive turned entrepreneur and he’s been the MCC's (Erin Owen) coaching client since 2018.

Coaching Topic: He feels that he's now in a place where he can take the time and energy to focus on what’s going on within himself and what he’s feeling in his body. He’s experiencing pain in his back and wants to really feel it and explore what that’s about.

Some of the participant's take-aways:

• It was a really interesting session and very helpful to hear from Fran and the MCC “anchors”; she highlighted 
• That getting my MCC is possible for me!
• Having the transcript and the ICF eval are so helpful
• Interesting discussion of the assessor’s suggested further exploration beyond the client’s current situation to deepen awareness and address potential obstacles to client growth.
• Greater depth of understanding of what’s important to demonstrate in an MCC submission
• a new distinction: the qualitative difference between Providing Space for the client versus Leveraging Silence/Space
• It's always tremendous to have Fran!  I feel she is practically ICF itself.  So, what she says is like hearing what we need to know straight from the horse’s mouth. 
• The importance of challenging the client and finding out what they’re discovering at the moment.
• It was helpful to observe this coaching of the Who and then to hear Fran's Assessor feedback - thank you.
• Taking partnership, a lot further than I have been doing - right down to getting the client to plan the exploration, rather than asking the client where they want to start and then going straight into it.  These are much more expansive question.
• Nice demonstration of the more recent ICF evaluation method utilizing a Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scale across six competency areas, with additional qualifiers assessing ethical practice and coaching mindset.
• Another really great coaching demonstration format this month!  Thanks!
• Super session, thanks Gail. I learnt heaps and loved the feeling of camaraderie. I’ve been floundering around with trying to orientate myself towards my MCC for a while, but it’s so hard to know what the best route is and what’s on offer. I’m so appreciative of keeping abreast of what’s happening in our field through calls like these e.g. the BARS (that was news to me!),
• Language used by ICF regarding how the feedback is to be used.
• deepen my clients personal learning.
• It was so informative on so many levels (BARS, getting to hear a recording that passed and to hear Fran’s comments and feedback to Erin ) 
• That there’s a wonderful community out there also finding their way with this....feeling a bit more supported by being part of this.
• Gratitude for MMC offering a first of this kind of learning; Terms of PCC Markers Vs MCC
• Specific examples of questions for BARS; The need to dig deeper; check in more frequently and ask where they want to go, what they are learning and how one can apply what they are learning moving forward.

Some of the participants' take-aways:

• To continue to develop my contracting skills at the beginning of a session.  David asked for the client’s meaning behind things over and over.  That was a great example of what I need to do more of.
• This was a beautiful demonstration of how a trusting partnership led to an “unpacking” that took the client from the surface, or “symptom” to a deeper level, or the “root” of what she wanted to work on.
• How still and calm the session was. Really transformative, not transactional
• What a beautiful call to witness. The coachee had much insight that added to the richness.
• Growing myself to focus more on open ended invocation for clients without bringing them to action.
• The huuuge space David created with his client
• David maintained beautiful presence and his curiosity without pushing the client to go anywhere.  The use of metaphor on her part was especially powerful in this call.
• To fully trust in client’s abilities to have the answers. To assist the client to unpack the presenting problem and go deeper.   To empower clients to make their own connections and insights. To support clients in “taking actions that will really serve them”.
• Loved what the coach said about actions emerging from awareness.
• He maintained presence by continually asking her “In this conversation” (what would be useful) and did a lovely job with partnering the conversation.
• Slow it down, and keep bringing the client back to the conversation and how she was feeling.
• Getting to know the coach in the debrief is just as interesting as the session.
• Growing myself to focus more on open ended invocation for clients without bringing them to action.
• Slowing down even more.

Some of the participants take-aways:

• Brilliantly done.  Beautifully paced, curious, and spacious.
• I am taking away how clear and concise the coaching was. There were no extra words, which gave space for the client to process her agenda fully and deeply.
• I thought it was a masterful example of how to coach around clients’ feelings/emotions and stay in the coaching frame by asking “what” and “how” questions.
• To get better at asking succinct questions. The coach provided a beautiful demonstration of how powerful this can be.
• Really appreciated what the coach shared about her journey to becoming an MCC coach.
• Her extraordinary coaching presence --she made it look simple and it’s not!
• Continually clarifying the agreement throughout the session-we’ve heard this from other MCCs as well.
• Loved this call--the client got such a beautiful breakthrough, and it was elegantly done.
• Reminder of paying attention to body language and keeping questions simple. I just applied it in a chemistry call :) - simpler questions, stop myself, don’t double up.
• I plan to practice acknowledging and highlighting clients “Aha moments” more often by pointing it out just like the Coach did in this session “that sounds like a realization”
• Great demo of MCC level coaching with powerful questions and a LOT of space for the client to explore and reflect.
• I observed some keen re-contracting, great to check in with client to make sure they will get what they want from the session. Also, good reminder to acknowledge client more throughout the session, not just at the end.
• How Sarah was able to be present with her client through each of the stages of the coaching process. Everything flowed seamlessly.
• Use of “What is coming up for you?” and other similar questions when I don’t know what to ask next.
• Being comfortable with long silence

Client scenario: This is one of Emily's real life clients who is not in the coaching profession. They coached together on and off for around 2 years.

Client topic: A core issue that’s played out in her professional life that she has made great strides on, is now showing up with her personal passion. She feels stuck, a sense of overwhelm and urgency around creating a blog and workshops etc. around capturing memories and cant figure out what to do first or when to do it.

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.  

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.

CALL 1

Coaching Scenario: Jay is one of Russell's real-world, on-going clients. Jay is not in the coaching profession. He hired Russell when every area of his life had stalled, so they coached together for about 18 months and got things back on track. This session was toward the end of that time period.

Coaching Topic: Being whole-hearted is a priority to Jay. Lately he feels he is so caught up in his head, he wants to get out of it and connect with his heart.

CALL 2 - Radically different kind of MMC call!
Bonuses: additional 30 minutes, the coaching transcript and 5 evaluation forms

AN MMC FIRST WITH AN ICF MCC EXAM COACHING SESSION!

Important note: Russell has gone through the ICF's PCC marker and MCC BARS training.

What: We will hear Russell’s second coaching session that passed the ICF MCC exam!

How: This time we are going to do something different that has never been done before on this program.
Instead of listening to the coaching session in real-time and then discussing it, we will listen to the recording before the class.

Why: to spend the time on the call diving deep in a concentrated and hands-on way.

So overall we will be:

• looking at what competencies and markers were being demonstrated
• determining what are the deeper issues the client brought, making sure to coach the person not the problem
• composing questions that help to uncover those deeper issues

Prior to the call, on our own, we will:

• listen to Russell's second coaching session that passed the ICF MCC exam
• review Russell's “how to evaluate a coaching session”
• use Russell’s evaluation guidance and evaluation sheet to make notes as to our own observations and the evidence to support those observations

Then on the call, there will be an interactive, full 90-minutes to:

• explore with Russell
• discuss our findings
• share thoughts and insights
• ask questions

To be clear Russell is giving us (ahead of time):

• the MP3 of is exam coaching session
• the transcript of the coaching session
• his "how to evaluate a coaching session"
• the PCC competencies and markers evaluation form
• the BARS evaluation form
• his own assessment of his session
• his mentor coaches assessment of the session (there was no ICF feedback, it was just pass/fail)

Some of the participant's take-aways:

• I found the call to be highly valuable on many levels including a better understanding of BARS and how to evaluate a coaching session/call. Thank you!
• How safety and comfort are two very different things. We are not here to make our clients comfortable. It’s discomfort that creates change not sitting in your comfort zone.
• I love this type of training!
• Helpful variety in perspectives and increased insight into one’s own mindset/perceptions in coaching.
• A deeper sense that I’m exactly where I am meant to be.
• The 3 levels of concerns was really well explained & resonated for me. Loved looking deeper at this concept and I will definitely use it.
• Russell’s focus on coaching the person not the problem was enlightening.
• I’ll be watching the places where I lose presence more closely. I’ll also be looking for this in my clients
• I like what he said about safety is not comfort. I must get more familiar with the BARS. I’m glad for the book recommendations, especially Masterful Questions by Michael Stratford.
• To engage clients in a deeper exploration as they “wander” so they may settle on an outcome that’s meaningful to them. 
• I am going to be doing self-evaluations of my coaching (when I can!) using Russell’s reflection questions.
• I am seeking to be a more advanced mentor coach and this was a helpful demonstration.
• I’ll be watching the places where I lose presence more closely. I’ll also be looking for this in my clients.
• Wow, there were so many things.  This was a really good session.  The biggest take-away is the reminder that the coach is bringing his/her own stuff to the coaching and it’s key for the coach to stay conscious of their stuff and able to manage it so that it doesn’t interfere with the coaching. 
• Great exercise in analyzing a coaching session using the BARS methodology.
• Helpful variety in perspectives and increased insight into one’s own mindset/perceptions in coaching.
• Resetting to an MCC level rather than ACC, PCC or other helping positions.
• I really liked hearing his more commanding style of coaching which resonated for me and my natural coaching position

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.

• To be focused on using client’s metaphors

• How simplicity can work magic in coaching a client to move forward efficiently and with conviction.

• 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.

Coaching Topic: The client can't get at this stage people to take her on as a volunteer, they are concerned about the insurance piece.
She wants to try to find a way to understand and cover the gaps, what she can do to get people to take her on board and make sure she’s on the same page with them.

Coaching Scenario: Zsofia and her client had contracted for 6 sessions, for the specific purpose of the MCC application. They knew each other prior to this engagement through some consulting work.

Some of the participant take-aways:

• Deeper understanding of the MCC Bars and their role in assessing recordings.
• The leap from PCC to MCC: switching from conversational mindset to curiosity mindset; from transaction to transformation; from a 'what wants to change' to a 'who they want to be' mindset
• Great contracting at the beginning; including re-contracting
• This is overall such a wonderful way for me to learn, thank you!
• How using the word “because” places judgement on whatever comes after that.
• Zsofia did a great job Establishing and Maintaining the Agreement.  Also, Listening Actively, Evoking Awareness and Maintaining Presence also stood out.
• Don’t summarize but ask what has changed for the client.
• less is more when it comes to the MCC level coaching
• So many wonderful tidbits were shared: “Silence supported by presence becomes holding the space.”
• Simplify my questions!  Don’t add before or after.
• how using the word “because” places judgement on whatever comes after that.
• Any opportunity to listen to others coach along with how an ICF assessor would respond helps me reflect on my own coaching. always adds something else to my toolbox.
• I appreciate how Zsofia did not give in to her client’s prompts to be a consultant and continued to be a coach with her questions. And, how she made use of many of the common questions we ask. 
• At ACC you’re learning the competencies, PCC you’re applying the competencies, and MCC you intuitively know the competencies. 
• I don’t need to remember what the client said. The client needs to remember.
• Reminder to not summarize for the client.  Let them say it.
• Karl’s sharing a bit about how we should work with the Bars in an integrated way. Very helpful.
• I really appreciated the coaches presence and natural flow of the session

Some of the participant's take-aways:

• Both coach and client brought their authentic selves to the coaching conversation. The ease with which they engaged was a demonstration of their high-trust relationship.
• Trusting myself and my intuition and putting it out there without explanation or asking permission. The coach modeled great confidence and trust. 
• I appreciated the conversation around external/internal processors and prep forms. I also like the tip shared by the coach--the fastest way to more masterful coaching is to listen to a recording of my coaching and assess it.  
• 1. Brief questions 2. Gentle Coaching presence 3. Coach the person, not the situation 
• Allowing spaciousness for the client.  
• To focus more on the contracting process to ensure clients understand what coaching is and isn’t--including coach and client roles and responsibilities. 
• The power of using words the client uses. 
• Building trust in the relationship allows for the coach to be more themselves in the call. 
• When clients feel fear (like I am afraid I will never be able to sing again), to lean into the fear and not avoid it.  The question, what if you couldn’t sing again, was a great question that had the client really feel this fear.  
• simple, easy, space
• More room, slow down (as always), the power of letting the client play around with their awareness. 
• I think the portion of the call that spoke to suicidal intervention was really interesting.   
• Giving the client the time and room via the silences to tap into their own brilliance.  
• Want to learn more about coaching suicide awareness- a valuable skill to have not only for clients but for life in general. 
• Michael revealing his learning around the affirming noises he made. The way he explained why it’s not beneficial to the client was eye opening, loved it! Will be more watchful in my own coaching.

ICF (BARS) Exam Coaching Session

Jeff is also giving us six bonuses:

• Additional 30 minutes for Q&A resulting in the accompanying 1.5 ICF CEUs
• Transcript of the coaching session
• ICF MCC Performance Evaluation
• Three forms provided by the incomparable Master Coach, Mentor & Assessor Fran Fisher MCC (Jeff's mentor coach)
  * Fran’s observations via the BARS Method
  * Fran’s observations via the PCC Markers
  * Frans overall scoring

Coaching Scenario: Jeff and his client originally met while going throught the Accomplishment Coach Traing program. They had been coaching together for a couple of years at the time of this session.

Coaching Topic: He recognizes a pattern when things are going well eg with his workouts and he’s getting stronger, reaching his peak and in a good rhythm, he gets sick. This breaks his rhythm and momentum and he goes into disempowering thoughts and self-judgment. He ties this pattern to his performance in life. Would like clarity around this potential block that may be holding him back.

Some of the participant takeaways:

• BRILLIANCE. Some of the best coaching ever.
• The dynamic between coach and coachee was seamless.
• Masterful coaching happens when the coach surrenders to the process.
• There were so many good moments and examples. Specifically, I appreciated the brevity of Jeff’s questions and the space he created for his client. I love how insights kept growing… And, how it was about how Todd was being while he was doing.  And, how Jeff was sure to not have any of his own agenda - among the many great things in this session
• To “play checkers not chess”. 
• The huge differences of clients focusing on “being” rather than “doing”.
• Don’t forget to acknowledge - if it feels natural, not performed, or asked for, in calls.
• I like that Jeff said, “You need to trust yourself to trust the client”.  Something we know, but he put it simply and effectively. 
• I am going to try to let go of the tactical and forget about how to coach and just be with the client. 
• mastery of insights 
• Acting out of fear vs acting from a position of acceptance, gentleness and strength
• To take care when coaching those I have coached for a long time that I don’t assume I know how they will respond.
• I loved what the coach said about the MCC process helping him to be an MCC human!
• Inspiration to both take myself out and hold the client, as Jeff said.
• I appreciated the reminder to ask where the client is in their clarity
• This coaching session was full of powerful and clean coaching questions.
• It reminded me to not stack questions because it can feel cold and less relational
• I’m taking away Jeff’s point about the power is in the hands of the client.  Witnessing that in this session was wonderful.  The client’s empowerment really shined.
• I loved his focus on simply being authentic so he can flow with the client and have a great relationship
• The value of clear, direct questions, spaciousness, and with client permission, going beneath the surface    
• Excellent tips

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

Bonuses:  additional 30 minutes of Q&A and copy of the examiner's report

Different kind of MMC call!

On this call Tara allowed us to hear one of her coaching sessions that passed the ICF MCC exam! She then debriefed, reviewed the examiner's report and feedback and answered our questions! 

Coaching Scenario: Tara and her client met on a High Performance Leadership Program back in 2008. Tara was her Leadership Facilitator/Coach at the time and since then Veronica has engaged Tara multiple times and back at the beginning of 2019, Tara asked Veronica to be her coachee for the MCC exam. 

Coaching Topic: This was an unusual topic for most of the coaches on the call and one that was controversial. The client brought to the session what she called an "intiguing dichotomy". In essence it revolved around having a relationship with a married man. She wanted to gain clarity and a sense of peace around the issue and her decisions.

Some of the participant take-aways:

• Again, I feel like saying, “Wow, that was the best yet!” These MCC test examples are super valuable. I am blown away by how she did the whole session without really talking in-between her powerful questions.
• A good example of it being very much about the client’s relationship with the issue vs. the issue itself.
• The power of short, evocative questions using the client’s words.
• The importance of recognizing when it’s “my stuff” that can get in the way
• This was the Best Call Ever! You are wonderful and thank you for these calls. Anyone not taking advantage of what you are offering is really missing out.
• Wonderful call! It was deeply instructive.
• The precision in asking questions in service of what the client wants and not getting distracted by the shiny objects.
• Wow, just wow, very impressed. Taking away all of it, wrapped up in a beautiful bow.
• This was an extraordinary learning opportunity. Would love to have her on a call again just to be able to learn from her.
• Tara was masterful in helping the client get clarity and not allowing any judgment to get in the way of serving her.
• Tara exhibited great spaciousness and curiosity, and was completely invested in what was most important for the client.
• Spend more time establishing the coaching agreement.
• The beauty of being able to withhold judgment
• This was like listing to an exquisite musical performance. So skilled, so talented and so beneficial to the client and the coaches that got to listen to it.
• I will be using the insights shared by Tara in my next coaching engagement.
• I learned a better way to set up the coaching agreement with the client as well as the level of detail this competency truly requires.
• The way Tara structured her questions was brilliant - so short and precise that focused her client on the topic versus soliciting details.
• Use the client language in a way that is provocative

CALL 2 

When Tara was a PCC, she did a live coaching session for a mentor coaching demonstration given by Meg Mann MCC. Turns out the session was masterful so the mentoring was really at the finessing level, which was really interesting. I offered to edit the session out so Tara could use it as one of her ICF submissions. She did so and it passed. 

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?

• “I really appreciated Meg’s debrief of the client - taking the time to go deeper with her.”

• “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.

Bonuses: Additional 15 minutes for Q&A, the examiner's report and thorough answer to a question that Clare sent the day after the call

Different kind of MMC call
ICF MCC exam session

We heard one of Clare's coaching sessions that passed the ICF MCC exam. And Clare is gave us a copy of the examiner's report.

The coaching session runs only 22 minutes!!! Proof that it is possible to get in all of the competencies and in a masterful, seamless way in that brief amount of time!

Coaching Scenario: Ali is a coach. She and Clare have worked together for a few years in different capacities – mentor coaching, supervision as well as coaching.

Coaching Topic: She wants to start a band and get to that "calm and right" feeling about doing it.

Some of the participant's takeaways:

• Hearing what Clare had to say felt revolutionary! It makes so much sense for the client (heard the proof!). And I feel like I’ve been freed!
• I loved this call and debrief. There were so many nuggets! What stood out to me was the coach’s ability to get to the “heart of the matter”.
• The depth of questions that created awareness in the client, use of somatic awareness to surface other things within the client
• Great picking up on the throwaway remarks for the client as well as language and metaphors.
• Biggest takeaway was Clare’s focus on not disrupting the client’s thinking.
• This was engaging, conversational, and they both sounded like they were having fun.
• So much to takeaway, but one key is “Build the words you heard into your question.”
• To stay in the present and where the client is now, not where they were 2 paragraphs ago, don’t get caught up in summarizing
• Great session and lots to integrate into my own practice. Thank you!
• To remember that contracting is part of the coaching that allows the client and coach to hone in on what’s truly most important.
• Thank you SO much! I was very impressed with how thoroughly Claire nailed down the clients' agenda and then kept checking to be sure they were on the right track.
• It's hard to believe so much could have been accomplished in less than 22 minutes! No wonder Claire is in such demand as a mentor coach! 
• Great to hear the feedback after the coaching and to get the coaches feedback from her own learnings.
• How Clare prefers 30 min sessions opposed to 1hour. Flowing down to get fast was a great interpretation of coaching.
• “Silence is the best question”
• Use of drawing during session and questions around what is being illustrated and interpretation of that.
• Picking up from where the client has moved in the moment to keep the momentum going. 
• This was a fantastic call. One of the best I’ve heard!
• Rather than offer an observation and ask how it landed, ask about the observation
• Avoiding leading the client, allowing them to self-explore.  Using playfulness in the session.
• I loved the questions about the client’s learning at the end of the session.

Executive & Leadership Coach
Bonuses: 30 additional minutes, coaching session transcript & ICF Performance Evaluation

This is the FIRST TIME EVER that we will listen to an ICF MCC exam session and explore it in this way.

Erin allows Master Coach and Assessor Fran Fisher to put on her assessor hat and review Erin's coaching session that just passed the ICF MCC exam under the new BARS assessment method.

We get the learning and benefit of two demonstrations followed by Q&A with both Fran and Erin.
We also get a copy of the coaching session transcript and the ICF MCC BARS evaluation.

Coaching Scenario: This client is a business executive turned entrepreneur and he’s been the MCC's (Erin Owen) coaching client since 2018.

Coaching Topic: He feels that he's now in a place where he can take the time and energy to focus on what’s going on within himself and what he’s feeling in his body. He’s experiencing pain in his back and wants to really feel it and explore what that’s about.

Some of the participant's take-aways:

• It was a really interesting session and very helpful to hear from Fran and the MCC “anchors”; she highlighted 
• That getting my MCC is possible for me!
• Having the transcript and the ICF eval are so helpful
• Interesting discussion of the assessor’s suggested further exploration beyond the client’s current situation to deepen awareness and address potential obstacles to client growth.
• Greater depth of understanding of what’s important to demonstrate in an MCC submission
• a new distinction: the qualitative difference between Providing Space for the client versus Leveraging Silence/Space
• It's always tremendous to have Fran!  I feel she is practically ICF itself.  So, what she says is like hearing what we need to know straight from the horse’s mouth. 
• The importance of challenging the client and finding out what they’re discovering at the moment.
• It was helpful to observe this coaching of the Who and then to hear Fran's Assessor feedback - thank you.
• Taking partnership, a lot further than I have been doing - right down to getting the client to plan the exploration, rather than asking the client where they want to start and then going straight into it.  These are much more expansive question.
• Nice demonstration of the more recent ICF evaluation method utilizing a Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scale across six competency areas, with additional qualifiers assessing ethical practice and coaching mindset.
• Another really great coaching demonstration format this month!  Thanks!
• Super session, thanks Gail. I learnt heaps and loved the feeling of camaraderie. I’ve been floundering around with trying to orientate myself towards my MCC for a while, but it’s so hard to know what the best route is and what’s on offer. I’m so appreciative of keeping abreast of what’s happening in our field through calls like these e.g. the BARS (that was news to me!),
• Language used by ICF regarding how the feedback is to be used.
• deepen my clients personal learning.
• It was so informative on so many levels (BARS, getting to hear a recording that passed and to hear Fran’s comments and feedback to Erin ) 
• That there’s a wonderful community out there also finding their way with this....feeling a bit more supported by being part of this.
• Gratitude for MMC offering a first of this kind of learning; Terms of PCC Markers Vs MCC
• Specific examples of questions for BARS; The need to dig deeper; check in more frequently and ask where they want to go, what they are learning and how one can apply what they are learning moving forward.

Leader & Team Coach
Bonuses: the transcript of the coaching session, additional 30-minutes and the call provides 1.5 CEUs

ICF MCC Exam Session!

Coaching Scenario: The client is not a coach, this was their 7th coaching session and they did not know each other prior to the coaching.

Coaching Topic: She wants to uncover a bit about this new feeling she’s had in the past few days around being in charge. Wants to dig a little deeper into the things she’s in charge of, can control and can advance. Wants to focus on that and see progress rather than on things that do not depend on her right now and leave her feeling frustrated.

Some of the participant's take-aways:

• This was a beautiful demonstration of the power of presence. The coach gave the client the gift of space. Within that space the client was able to go deeper as the coach practiced active listening and powerful questioning.
• The coach’s ability to be so present as to allow slow pacing and silence.  This created spaciousness for the client to go deep and have a breakthrough that will be lasting.
• asking: “what is important to you right now in this moment?” was a powerful reminder to help client anchor in the new awareness.
• Truly great demo of mastery in action that sounds easy, flowing, and conversational.
• A session full of silence/spaciousness that was so rich and teeming with possibilities.  Witnessing what emerged was proof modeled right before our eyes that with masterful coaching, less is so much more.
• To listen with “full body awareness” by engaging “heart, mind, and soul listening.” To remember Lucy did a fantastic job of sharing her observations of what the client was expressing through nonverbal communication.
• To listen for what the client wants out of the conversation, suspend judgment, and remember that every piece of what I’m hearing matters.
• The depth and breadth of her exploration while maintaining the client’s desired outcome for the call. She kept bringing it back to the agreement.
• Leaning in to allow space for breathing and centering.
• It's encouraging to know that the 2 things she’s great at, allowing space/silence and not assuming are the 2 things she used to be worst at.
• What was most new and helpful for me was learning that asking, “What’s important now cuts the narrative and keeps the client in the present.
• I am taking away a reinforcement of reflecting the client’s language rather than inserting your own.
• There were several great reminders including using client language, keeping the client in the present moment, suspending judgement
•  just listening to the conversation after the session is giving insights and I appreciate that
• Lots of empty spaces during the session. Trust between client and coach. The client knows
• Boils down to being where the client takes you, every time...
• The need to be continuously aware of assumptions when very familiar with a client was a good reminder.
• Honoring the clients inner wisdom by being still, very present and holding the space for them.

Leadership & Mentor Coach
Bonuses: Additional 30-minutes, the transcript, the ICF Performance Evaluation & discussion on the credentialing process

ICF MCC (BARS) Exam Coaching Session

Including vital credentialing information!

We will listen to one of Teresa's coaching sessions that passed the ICF MCC exam under the new BARS assessment method/rating.

Teresa is also giving us:

• the transcript of the coaching session
• the ICF MCC Performance Evaluation

AND this will be a first! Teresa will be reviewing the credentialling process from submission to exam. She will share things that are not necessarily made clear ahead of time and can catch coaches off guard!

Coaching Scenario: Teresa and her client worked together initially for about a year over 10 years ago. At the time, the client was in a nonprofit organization and was moving up into an executive role. They reconnected last year, and Teresa offered her pro bono coaching in return for her allowing Teresa to record the sessions

Coaching Topic: The client is an executive. She wants to come from a place of inquiry but has difficulty coming up with questions in the moment. So she defers to her familiar argumentative/debate perspective. Would like help implementing this new perspective and desired way of being- the “calm wise one”.

Some of the participant takeaways:

• Must listen to at least once or twice more as I feel as though I just noticed a fraction of all the juice in this session! 
• Beautiful pivoting between client layers of awareness.
• It was very nice to hear a more executive-based topic, while still coaching the person, at the MCC level.
• The client was profoundly insightful and the coach truly masterful!  This was probably one of the best sessions I’ve attended. 
• It seems like the coach was in flow in a powerful way and allowed the huge healing to occur in the session.  I’m taking all of this in.
• Her sharing of credentialing tips and her experience was invaluable, thank you!
• Excellent example of a truly masterful coaching session!
• This was probably one of the best sessions I have attended, Gail!  Truly wonderful- I definitely plan to listen to this one again!  Thanks so much!  :-)
• That flexibility to work multiple layers within one coaching contract.
• A client who was incredibly insightful, and a coach who was truly masterful in helping her client reach profound understanding about important patterns in her life (both personal and professional).
• That acknowledgment is about the work clients are doing, their willingness to show up, and how they’re showing up. It’s not about who they are as human beings--which is a judgment. I hadn’t really ever thought about acknowledgment in that way.
• Loved what the coach said about the agreement not being a checkbox to get to coaching--that it is the coaching.
• Was struck by the coach’s discussion of how we coaches need to take care of ourselves and that we’re not in coaching to alleviate our client’s suffering but to be with them in their suffering.
• So many things, once again demonstration of how important the coaching agreement is, importance of following the client and their metaphors and agenda, not imposing your own, and acknowledging the WORK of the client and how they’re showing up in the session rather than their characteristics.
• Metaphor that the Agreement is the spine to the book - essential to have and follow; It is not the first chapter. The above for myself and I will share that with the students I train as well.
• Tying all questions back to the agreement 
• Great call! Agreement and mirroring deftness.
• Silence is so golden!!  The client really benefitted from processing what was inside of her and the coach gave her so much lovely space to do just that.  It was wonderful to witness. 
• The questions and reflections from the coach really helped the client see herself more and more and more.
• Presence and partnering are two major takeaways.  Also, the reflecting and continuing to stay right beside the client throughout every twist and shift and awareness and checking in, revisiting the agreement, asking questions that continuously evoke awareness throughout, are all key too.

Different kind of MMC call!

On this call Lesley allowed us to hear one of her coaching sessions that passed the ICF MCC exam! She then debriefed, reviewed the examiner's report and feedback and answered our questions! 

Coaching Scenario: Lesley and the client knew each other from a coach training but this was the first time they coached together.

Coaching Topic: Lindsay was offered a wonderful opportunity to give one of her nutrition and wellness programs. But its abroad and she will have to gone for an extended period of time. It has really upset her daughter and she feels panicky about her mother going. While Lindsay really wants to take the offer and essentially said yes, she is concerned about her daughter. She can see the pros and cons and keeps going round in a circle and would like to gain some clarity around what’s best.

Some of the participant take-aways:

• Excellence in drawing and applying insight. Incredible questions!!!
• Great how much was covered in a short period of time.
• “I got a big smile on my face” (client comment) a moment any coach would look for and relish.
• A fabulous call! loved it!
• This was an excellent example of being relaxed and trusting the client knows. 
• Leslie’s presence of being powerfully there, listening without much interference of her talking and her asking poignant questions to move ahead.
• Once again, I am struck by how little the coach has to say for the client to make a transformation.  
• Pure and simple.
• It's important to really understand the competencies. Mastery happens with practice, practice, practice, and presence, presence, presence. 
• Talk less and just ask the questions with some reflection.  
• This call was a beautiful demonstration of presence and how to create an environment of trust and safety.
• To “love my clients”
• I appreciated the coach’s ability to reflect back to the client her own words in a way that brought the client to a place of further exploration, insight, clarity.
• The degree to which we can be fully there for someone is like a tuning fork.

Some of the participant take-aways:

• Deeper understanding of the MCC Bars and their role in assessing recordings.
• The leap from PCC to MCC: switching from conversational mindset to curiosity mindset; from transaction to transformation; from a 'what wants to change' to a 'who they want to be' mindset
• Great contracting at the beginning; including re-contracting
• This is overall such a wonderful way for me to learn, thank you!
• How using the word “because” places judgement on whatever comes after that.
• Don’t summarize but ask what has changed for the client.
• less is more when it comes to the MCC level coaching
• So many wonderful tidbits were shared: “Silence supported by presence becomes holding the space.”
• Simplify my questions!  Don’t add before or after.
• how using the word “because” places judgement on whatever comes after that.
• Any opportunity to listen to others coach along with how an ICF assessor would respond helps me reflect on my own coaching. always adds something else to my toolbox
• At ACC you’re learning the competencies, PCC you’re applying the competencies, and MCC you intuitively know the competencies. 
• I don’t need to remember what the client said. The client needs to remember.
• Reminder to not summarize for the client.  Let them say it.
• Karl’s sharing a bit about how we should work with the Bars in an integrated way. Very helpful.
• I really appreciated the coaches presence and natural flow of the session

• These MCC test recordings are particularly helpful.  Though, I do like both formats. Thank you!!! Wonderful that Frances shared her outcomes as well.    
• The discussion around asking permission was really interesting.
• Great questioning, loved the dance!
• To continue to sharpen my saw--to hone my skills. To let go of any need to ask the perfect question and instead rely on my intuition, trust of the process, of my client, and of our shared partnership.
• How Mary Anna did not give any emotional response.  She just said “Okay…”  She remained calm.  She really trusted her client and the process and did not feel rushed about getting where her client wanted to be by the end.  She just asked the next simple and poignant question.
• Absolutely scrub your ego out of it. 
• I don’t have to ask for permission to share a story that might be helpful.  Just tell the essence of the story.
• Beautiful example of MCC coaching. I also appreciated the explanation around the assessment of Mary Anna
• I really appreciate her humility.  
• The question “What is the feeling of “sweating palms telling you?” and “Where will you be with this when we finish?”
• The power of the coach as a witness and holding space for challenging exploration
• Shorter questions, longer silences
• Going deep into discomfort where appropriate without worrying about the action step
• The questions she asked - I want to use many of them. They are very effective.
• Helpful discussion related to preparation for MCC exam.
• Interesting to learn about the difference in perspective at the MCC level- with increased trust between coach and client.

Some of the participant take-aways:

• She confirmed what it is to be MCC.
• Tremendous example of powerful questions, one after another!
• Deep transformation can take place with presence; lots of time not not required.
• I loved everything about this call, Ebru is such a master, I am so impressed. I liked her presence, the simplicity of the language, the powerful questions, I loved it all. So much growth and transformation in the client in one session!
• I liked how the coach always focused on "the being", and did not get sucked into the clients relationship story, despite the client sharing "the story".
• Was such a beautiful demonstration of the power of presence.
• loved the distinction between MCC and PCC coaching at the end.  Very clear!
• Thank you so much for creating these learning opportunities. I appreciate these calls so much and find them so helpful as I work on my own coaching mastery from PCC to MCC.
• Connecting the client's values to the coaching can be transformative.
• I generally ask what the client has learned about themself toward the end of the call. I liked the alternative question Ebru used: What would you like to acknowledge in yourself?
• I loved the way Ebru was so creative in exploring the areas to include in the coaching agreement.  Rather than launching into the coaching conversation after the 2nd point raised by the client. 
• I was intrigued by Ebru's questions evoking awareness of the client's outlook re/ judgment, resentment and changing her perspectives.

Some participant take-aways:

• ​My readiness for getting my MCC and how helpful it is to hear masterful coaches in action to support this process
• WOW. This back-to-back experience was interesting. I was very impressed by all three coaches using their intuition in knowing not to let the client retell her story that she has told herself for many years; with the intention to keep her moving/looking forward, instead of talking about the barriers (which is what she kept going back to).  I also really appreciated all the acknowledgment of the client that the coaches gave her. I felt like she really needed that, being that she was experiencing such grief.
• I loved the creativity in the coaches’ intervention. We learned so much about the client in such a short time.  Use of silence when the client says I don’t know.
• The potential of using the technique of 3 coaches for one client session. Great tool to use in teaching and mentoring coaches on how to stay focused and present while capitalizing on creativity and spontaneity.
• The tag team coaching was amazing. All three coaches were excellent.
•  Being present for your client is of the utmost importance. Allowing them to know and understand you are there for them.
•  Expanded possibilities about what “masterful coaching” sounds like.
• Respectfully pausing a client when they are retelling an old story or getting into the details helps build awareness in service of what the client really wants.
• Hearing the depth of emotion underlying the client’s desire and going there skillfully with the coaching.
• I appreciate being able to hear 3 MCCs in one and I especially appreciated their reflections after the call regarding what they chose not to delve in to given the allotted time as well as the perspective about when/how to interrupt the client when they are repeating or getting in to details.
• Focusing on strengths when the client keeps going back to self criticism and having the client move to empowerment.
• The transition between coaches was quite smooth. I was wondering how it would work, but it came off masterly.
• Establishing quick rapport and ease of making client free to disclose
• To allow space,
• Also found it interesting how seamless the 3 coaches worked together.
• Inspired by Joy + inspiration to coach “seniors”

Some participant take-aways:

• Love the trio concept. It’s great to see coaches involved in the dance with one another, blending and holding space for clients in unique ways.
• How much can be accomplished in just 10 minutes with true coaching presence! It’s a powerful and rare skill.
• Importance of minding the client’s need for the spiritual. It’s really “both... and...”; in addressing these needs.
• Integration of vision and action, spiritual with tactical planning, being and doing. How seamless it can be when we are in Coaching Presence
• More concrete agreement and getting to underlying issue (beyond obvious request of next steps and defined plan), and not going to action planning until awareness is fully anchored. 
• Understanding there’s no “right” path. Find out the client’s language, match it and join in his/her conversation and see what unfolds. Absolutely love this!
• To bring an all encompassing presence to coaching. Also, Ben continually acknowledged the client and did it so easily. I want to be able to do that. 
• This session hit the “core” of my being. It reminded me to follow the flow and also adjust my language to the clients. 
• My spiritual/intuitive nature is very strong, yet I am aware of language I use to meet my client where they are at and be as present as I can. Loved the richness of this:-).
• Very valuable time spent! Thank you! Learned from each of the 3.
• The comment about NOT coaching presence, just presence period.
• The entering into the flow of the client’s river - just joining with them. Always deeper into trusting the client & looking what’s underneath of what they are asking.
• Thank you Gail! I’m so thankful for what you have created. 3 coaches in 1 and so much value in the bonus round, thank you!
• I loved hearing their language and how smoothly they transitioned. What an amazing feat, thank you so much for setting this up.
• The ability to let someone find their path via giving them a forum for their own voice
• Great session with three terrific coaches
• The value of tandem coaching

Some participant take-aways:

• They were all so different and equally excellent. Much to take-away!
• I really enjoyed listening to all of the coaches with their unique style
• Loved to hear that you can also think of a coaching session as having a beginning, middle and end. I never thought about it that way--this will give me better structure.
• Really interesting watching the session develop 
• Love the concept of “lean back”--allow the client more space and time.
• To remember that the situation is only the backdrop to the person. To acknowledge the situation but focus on the person and the inner work that can be done to open to a new awareness of who and how the person wants to be.
• Loved the discussion around creating agreements--what each of the coaches brought to the discussion.
• Listening to the three parts of the coaching conversation executed by three different coaches was a powerful reminder about how important and different each part of the coaching conversation is.
• Good insights about diversity of coaching and approaches
• The power of co-creativity and intuition in the “second part” and the value of operationalizing the “third part”.
• Issue of race in coaching

Bringing back two very popular headliners - Ben and a Mentoring Session!

We will be hearing a (PCC) recorded coaching session and Ben will be mentoring as we go along. Then there will be debriefing and Q&A with Ben, and the mentee.

Ben's work is applicable to ALL coaches, ALL levels, ALL training, and ALL niches because it’s about growing our coaching skills, deepening our confidence, and revealing the inner workings of how we show up powerfully for our clients.

Some of what coaches have said about working with Ben:

• “An incredible Game-Changer”
• “A profound sea change for me.”
• "Encompassing the whole coaching experience"
• “I really wish I had done this earlier in my coaching."

Come join us for a jam packed 90-minutes of profound, amazing and fun learning!

Coaching Scenario: This was Becky and her client's second session together. The client is a coach.

Coaching Topic: Has work with longtime contractor that she feels is important work but requires a lot of energy. Wants to figure out how to make it not require so much energy or how to shift away in a manner that works for both her and the contractor.

Some of the participant take-aways:

• Hearing Ben’s feedback, step by step through the coaching call offered so much value.
• I like that Ben pointed out places where we might give in and get hooked. I liked this format. 
• Loved the 3 things he wanted us to listen for (Connection, When the coach is revealing, and then When and How the coach is empowering the client versus managing them).  I will take that forward as I listen to other coaching sessions.
• I absolutely love Ben’s description of coaching as a dance of giving and receiving between the coach and client.  It’s so simple, but very powerful
• It was a wonderful session - Ben really is the best. Fantastic!
• The importance of the agreement in coaching calls and how to go deeper with clients.
• What else, what else, what else and listening for the details.
• It was very well done indeed.  Ben did a lovely job covering a lot of ground.  Great job and helpful to listen to.
• Re-establishing the agenda or agreement in the middle of the call if new information is revealed.
• Getting more specific about identifying the agenda and how to transition from this to the coaching part.
• The importance of “Connection, Revealing and Empowering” during coaching. Listening for:
  1. connecting w/client
  2. revealing vs. telling, teaching, assuming,
  3. empowering client vs. handling
• I loved the reminder to STAY with the client, esp. when they give short, quick answers. Take them deeper with where they are in the moment.
• More calls like this that give a play by play of a coaching session. Very helpful.
• The call was another reminder of how simple, yet powerful coaching can be. I also loved how Ben was able to surface so much learning from one simple call!
• Love hearing the different perspectives of veteran assessors and MCCs! Thank you.
• Great example of the process of helping clients seek clarity with the issues they bring to session so that they can, in turn, apply what they learn about themselves in their everyday lives.
• I appreciate the way Ben mentors through a call.
• Reminder to ask what the client is learning about the situation.
• This is ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIC!!! Wow. Ben is awesome.
• Continually assessing for myself as I am coaching whether I am connected, helping my client reveal vs. teaching, and empowering them. Also, being mindful of my pacing; make sure I’m not pulling my client along with my questions but rather journeying with them where they are and exploring for the sake of movement forward.
• Going deeper vs moving the conversation forward to action
• Thank you so much for what you’ve created here, Gail. These sessions are a golden touchstone for me as I journey towards my MCC. I love being part of this community and so look forward to each call!
• For the first time, a true understanding of what just being present means and WHY it’s so important.

Some of the participant take-aways:

• 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 #2

This is the FIRST TIME EVER that we will listen to an ICF MCC exam session and explore it in this way.

We also get a copy of the coaching session transcript and the ICF MCC BARS evaluation.

Coaching Scenario: This client is a business executive turned entrepreneur and he’s been the MCC's (Erin Owen) coaching client since 2018.

Coaching Topic: He feels that he's now in a place where he can take the time and energy to focus on what’s going on within himself and what he’s feeling in his body. He’s experiencing pain in his back and wants to really feel it and explore what that’s about.

Some of the participant's take-aways:

• It was a really interesting session and very helpful to hear from Fran and the MCC “anchors”; she highlighted 
• That getting my MCC is possible for me!
• Having the transcript and the ICF eval are so helpful
• Interesting discussion of the assessor’s suggested further exploration beyond the client’s current situation to deepen awareness and address potential obstacles to client growth.
• Greater depth of understanding of what’s important to demonstrate in an MCC submission
• a new distinction: the qualitative difference between Providing Space for the client versus Leveraging Silence/Space
• It's always tremendous to have Fran!  I feel she is practically ICF itself.  So, what she says is like hearing what we need to know straight from the horse’s mouth. 
• The importance of challenging the client and finding out what they’re discovering at the moment.
• It was helpful to observe this coaching of the Who and then to hear Fran's Assessor feedback - thank you.
• Taking partnership, a lot further than I have been doing - right down to getting the client to plan the exploration, rather than asking the client where they want to start and then going straight into it.  These are much more expansive question.
• Nice demonstration of the more recent ICF evaluation method utilizing a Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scale across six competency areas, with additional qualifiers assessing ethical practice and coaching mindset.
• Another really great coaching demonstration format this month!  Thanks!
• Super session, thanks Gail. I learnt heaps and loved the feeling of camaraderie. I’ve been floundering around with trying to orientate myself towards my MCC for a while, but it’s so hard to know what the best route is and what’s on offer. I’m so appreciative of keeping abreast of what’s happening in our field through calls like these e.g. the BARS (that was news to me!),
• Language used by ICF regarding how the feedback is to be used.
• deepen my clients personal learning.
• It was so informative on so many levels (BARS, getting to hear a recording that passed and to hear Fran’s comments and feedback to Erin ) 
• That there’s a wonderful community out there also finding their way with this....feeling a bit more supported by being part of this.
• Gratitude for MMC offering a first of this kind of learning; Terms of PCC Markers Vs MCC
• Specific examples of questions for BARS; The need to dig deeper; check in more frequently and ask where they want to go, what they are learning and how one can apply what they are learning moving forward.

Executive, Life, Wellbeing & Mentor Coach
Bonus: An additional 30 minutes

This was a different kind of call and a first for Moore Master Coaching!

Tijen demonstrated Master Mentor coaching from a different approach and powerful angle. We had a coach client, and two of the coach participants helped co-coach that client. Tijen supervised, gave feedback and demonstrated how the offerings could have been more masterful. In this way, we had this rare opportunity to understand and distinguish masterful and precise approaches to coaching to help bring our coaching to a profoundly transformative level for sustaining client results. So we got to hear Master Coaching and Master Mentor coaching all in one session!

Coach Scenario: Annette is a coach and this was the first time she and Tijen had ever met or spoken.

Coaching topic: She is seeking guidance in navigating the next chapter of her Coaching journey…personally and professionally”  …She wants to explore her “untapped potential” as a Certified Coach. She is in the process of building resiliency as she leans into authoring her most authentic brand!”

Some of the participant take-aways:

• Provided a perspective around specificity and risk that you do not always hear. Takes coaching to a much higher level.
• Really liked the structure of this call with the coach coaching other coaches in real time on how to help the client. Novel and instructive.  Would like more of this format!
• The coach is listening with all of herself; not just through her mind, but what is the emotional landscape of the client and how does it shift, while creating awareness around that
• the importance of narrowing the topic succinctly early on and continuously clarifying with client around where are you now
• The most powerful questions come from deep holistic listening. They are personalized according to each client’s uniqueness and what each brings to coaching.
• Reflection, instinct, examine and utilize “shifts”. Loved the honoring portion at the end!
• full body/soul listening
• Tijen’s process for funneling the agenda before expanding the awareness
• Mentoring of volunteer coaches was extremely helpful.
• I enjoyed this approach to coaching demo- it was interesting to see the master coach intervene in real-time with the coaching.  
• Find the thing below the thing.
• Focus on key words, metaphors in the client’s speech, and paraphrase it back to them without leading them in any assumption on their direction. Also use questions that help to focus on the outcome, not expand on the content.
• Interesting different approach to coaching demonstration/ mentoring.
• The importance of those emotional shifts in the tone of the voice, the pace, the words being repeated, and the importance to present back to the client what we hear and refer to the initial goal, thus allowing for recontracting.
• Very valuable!
• How deeply honoring Tijen was of the client and the 2 volunteer coaches. It was so genuine, it's obvious this is who she is as a person and coach, mentor, trainer. What a gift to those she works with, It was a gift to me to experience.
• That there is not a single way of coaching, and the importance of noticing emotional shifts during the conversations and presenting them back to the client
• That using your intuition and encouraging your client to listen to their own is valuable and significant in discovering what lies beneath the conflict.
• This way of working with the 2 volunteer coaches for us all to learn is an excellent method.

Some of the participant take-aways:

• Let’s have more of these sessions where we hear a mentor coach giving feedback on a coach’s coaching. This session was pure gold!
• Reminding myself that my role is to serve my client--not please my client. To call out patterns that are taking the conversation away from the agenda
• Beautiful mentoring and excellent tips on what could be done differently.
• This call was phenomenal! Took lots of notes.  Will use when coaching. 
• That as coaches we need to dig deeper within ourselves--what changes do we need to make within ourselves to take our coaching to the next level.
• Hayden Lee evoked awareness for the client
• To go deeper when setting the agenda--exploring what’s important about addressing the client’s item agenda. To ask what needs to change within the client to accomplish the desired outcome. 
• I particularly liked the attention at completing the coaching session and the questions about takeaways that generated actions for the client. 
• Hayden shared many helpful coaching approaches/ strategies during the call that were excellent and insightful.
• Ask more transformational questions rather than info.  Silence, simplicity, reflect what you see in the mirror.
• The “bookends” of sessions are so important -- setting the agenda and closing out the session with growth identified and celebrated. 
• I consider myself an advanced coach and I found this call so helpful for finetuning and going deeper into what might be considered some of the "basics" in order to take them to a more masterful level.

Some of the participant take-aways:

• Tara's style is very unique, direct and powerful. Brilliant mentoring. Look forward to listening to her exam sessions. Thanks to you both!
• A huge take-away that I’ll be using is Tara’s metaphor for the coaching agreement being like an airplane pilot’s checklist.  She stressed the importance of it, of taking the time to thoroughly establish it, even if it feels a bit meticulous because once it’s done then the rest of the coaching goes smoothly and you can refer back to it.
• The value of getting feedback on your coaching
• Excellent coaching seminar format! It was great to have all of the layers of interaction and sharing of perspectives, from client to coach to mentor to audience- and even coming full circle with audience interacting with client!  What a great format that elicited a wealth of learnings and insight! Would love to see more of these types of sessions!  Thanks :-)
• Not being afraid to interrupt when your client goes down a rabbit hole
• This call was a wonderful learning experience! The coaching was a masterful demonstration of partnership,  presence, and performance. This was followed by the mentor  coach and coach reflecting on the coaching. Priceless!
• Thank you! Such a wonderful call today. I learned tons from Tara’s Mentor partnership with Matthew and the questions she asked him that I had never heard a Mentor coach ask a Mentee. “What would represent partnership?” for example. 
• “Don’t hang on when client has moved on.”; I had the realization that sometimes I may hang on to a word that felt seemingly important, moving me away from what is being said in the moment.
• That you have to be selective in following the clues that the client gives you and that you have to follow your instincts.
• Allowing more time for exploration of the topic
• I absolutely loved the Partnership-Presence-Performance balance Tara shared.  Balancing these three in service to the client is the intention and what she sees as most challenging for coaches today. 
• I’m taking away the incredible power of letting deep curiosity about the coachee be a wonderful tool in service to the client throughout the process.  That deep curiosity drives those deep expansive questions.   
• Calling the client out; stay on the hook, I’m not buying that. 
• Put all your “reflecting back” into a short, concise question
• Having a live coaching session followed by a mentoring session was so enthralling to me. I was able to compare what I noticed in the coaching session to what was ofered by Tara as an MCC mentor.  It made me listen in a very deep way. Truly, this was an amazing session to witness.  I learned so much!
• I loved the bit in mentoring session about “how to be your own post it note”.  I often have clients land on take aways that involve making a note but practicing personalizing these commitments would be powerful.
• I am going to be working on my own discomfort in sessions where I feel like I need to come to the rescue and how that can move me out of my coaching presence.  I had a bit of a parallel process happening when listening to the coaching.
• helping clients think beyond the usual strategies for accountability
• leaning in even more to silence

Bonus: Additional 30 minutes for debrief and Q&A
 

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.

FYI Marilyn is an expert in cultural and relationship 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

Corey Stanford MCC full bio

Some of the participant's take-aways:

• Incredibly utilizable feedback.
• What a blend of coaching and mentoring! This mentor coach was fully in service of the client, creating a safe space for them and working in partnership with her, encouraging her participation and leadership throughout the sharing of feedback and developmental comments.
• Focusing even more on client word choice to open up deep paths.
• clearer embodiment of partnering
• …something I need to pay attention to in my own coaching: being vigilant that having a comfortable relationship with a client is not blunting my ability to pay attention or pick up  on cues that clients are giving us that may need to be noticed and/or revisited …Very interesting comment.
• I liked Corey’s conversation about making a deeper more meaningful agreement.
• I like Corey’s answer to PCC vs. MCC - that it’s less processing and analyzing and more ease, simplicity, second nature, responsiveness and being present. 
• Enjoyed hearing a mentoring session evaluate the session.  Created a different perspective.
• What exactly mentors are looking for to move to MCC
• The opportunity to hear mentor feedback was incredibly valuable!
• Focus on coaching the person and take time exploring what’s most important. The client will come up with his/her own next steps when there’s laser clarity on what he/she wants to change.
• Deep intentional engagement in each moment. Going deeper. Challenging when needed.
• MCC feedback was invaluable!
• Love the courage of all parties!
   

Confidence, Narrative, Relationship, Mentor & Coaching Super-Vision
Bonuses: A piece that changes perspective on the "sales" conversation and deep discount on Lyssa's 2 other MMC calls.

This is a different kind of MMC call
Lyssa uses the 3 photos that Joy selected as a jumping off point for the Super-Vision session. You will receive those to look at while listening.

This is #3 coaching demonstration Lyssa has done for MMC! See the other two below.

Coaching scenario: Joy and Lyssa met in 2017 when they came together as presidents of their local ICF chapters and collaborated on an ICF Chapter training. After that they saw each other from time to time on other calls and then last year, Joy participated in Lyssa's Coaching with the power of metaphors certification program. 

Coaching topic: Joy wants to know how to listen even more deeply.

Some participant take-aways:

• In 20 plus years, I have never heard anyone talk about supervision in this way. Truly a missing piece in our profession or at least an area that is glossed over. Transformational. Deep thanks!
• Using photos in coaching
• Great session.  So grateful for the better understanding of what Coaching Supervision really is.  Not at all what I thought it was.
• How supportive superVision can be.
• Deeper listening skills.
• The coach provided a beautiful demonstration of coaching supervision, or as she calls it Super-Vision.  As I now understand it, Super-Vision helps build the capacity of the coach through a reflective, explorative, free-form dialogue/process. This is different from mentor coaching which is an analytical assessment of a specific coaching conversation.
• To explore Super-Vision. To continue to work on myself from the inside out in order to show up neutral, open, and fully present for my clients.
• An invaluable call to action - deepen the being of my coaching with new reflective practice.
• One of the best!
• Use of imagery as metaphor in coaching supervision.
• Excellent session- really valued how the topic for this session broke out into a new area of exploration in coaching!  Thanks
• Lyssa had a litany of traps that coaches can get themselves into with clients ex. Caring too much about the client, or the client reminds you of your sister etc. 
• Coaching presence is built upon the ability to listen deeply, with our heart and all of our being. 
• Supervision is really helpful and should really be mandatory as part of CEU requirements.
• Reminder to use imagery, metaphor and other non-thinking prompts for self and for clients
• The perception of “Who we are is how we coach”. Making sure that my personality/biases/opinions etc are taken out of the coaching conversation.

Bonus: Additional 30 minutes of discussion and Q&A

CALL #1
Coaching Scenario: The client is not in the coaching profession, she has never been coached before and this is the first time that she and Lyssa have ever met or spoken.

Coaching Topic: "I would like to be coached on how to fully embrace an abundant mindset. I find my old programs sneak up on me despite how much I have learned about the Law of Attraction. I am ready to leave my self-limiting beliefs behind so I can take my health and wellness website to the next level!"

Some of the participant take-aways:

• This was one of the best and most valuable sessions I’ve listened to. 
• Loved the discussion about weaving several competencies into the conversation through a “most useful question”
• To be aware of any “looping” by a client that could be a red flag indicating the need for therapy. 
• I am definitely going to listen to this call again! 
• I particularly appreciated Lyssa’s observations about situational rabbit holes and differentiating between asking interesting questions that might take them backward vs asking important questions that take the client forward. 
• Great questions I tend to ask, but not as efficiently worded. And, the metaphor of jumping in the pool together holding hands. 
• Mastery doesn’t have to take long if you’re willing to put discipline and rigorousness into your preparation
• Lots of great tips for preparing for MCC, asking for permission, keeping on track throughout the call with what the client wants
• Loved this call so much. Can’t wait to get the recording.
• The client was poised on the precipice to have a breakthrough and Lyssa’s exquisite coaching got her there. TRULY Breathtaking in only 30 minutes!
• Embodiment of heart and intuition
• Wow that was a pleasure to observe; one of my top 5 favorite Moore Master Coaching calls. 
• Lyssa used so many coaching skills in such a masterful way, if I were to note all the skills, I would be listing all the competencies. Lyssa was so present she picked up on the moments that helped the client connect to her awareness, she simply stayed curious, and the client went deep. Beautiful coaching very impressed. 
• I’m impressed at how the coach stayed in the coaching framework throughout the call even during the moments when the client brought up the past. Lyssa beautifully weaved those therapeutic moments into future oriented, forward moving powerful questions. I’m looking forward to re-listening to this call.
• When coaching someone who has been assigned to coaching and who may not be fully onboard with it, ask “How can we make this useful for you?”
• Example of not pursuing unpacking of the past, but rather letting the past go to move on.

---

CALL #2

Lyssa came back for another call to share the recording of her coaching session that passed the ICF MCC exam plus the examiners feedback.

Bonuses: She gave an additional 30 minutes for debrief, Q&A and to discuss some the examiners feedback as well as a copy of the examiners feedback report.

Coaching scenario: Pam is a long time on-going client of Lyssas- since @2013.

Coaching topic: She's feeling very stuck as to what to do and how to move forward. She loves being alone and wonders if she should stay with her boyfriend who ultimately would like it to be more. She's worried that maybe her pattern and that she will always find an issue and never be able to be fully comimitted to someone.

Some of the participant take-aways:

• I thought the coaching was brilliant
• Patience, patience, patience. Even when the client says “I don?t know”, keep being curious because they do know!
• Loved Lyssa’s style! Her depth of listening and presence to be in the soup with the client and ask only what was necessary to help the client take one step forward at a time!
• Exquisite example of how to help a client who is feeling really stuck break through and begin to move forward.
• To relax and trust the process-even if the client feels totally stuck, using metaphor and simple questions with slow pacing was enough to help her break into a new space
• Ask questions based on what’s important for the benefit of the client rather than for my curiosity
• Creating “presence” first as the first communication
• Having the client create visuals to describe their focus for the call and/or feelings and then referencing that visual throughout the session.
• So many of her methods and ways of being were new and inspiring
• How the ICF assessors rated the call
• Good examples for the coaches I mentor
• How you really have to believe in your client’s wholeness, even when they are going through difficult life experiences.
• The multiple check in moments with what the client was physically feeling, and using that as a gauge of her progress.
• Building on client metaphors, and getting clarity on what the metaphor means, not to me, but to the client.
• The power of metaphor. Loved how the client’s metaphor about the pot could also reflect a coach approach.

Master Certified Leader, Team & Coach Supervisor
Bonus: When Heart Intelligence Meets Conversational Intelligence by Judith E. Glase & Deborah Rozman

This was a different kind of MMC call!

Coaching Scenario:  Susan is an executive coach. This is the first time she and Damian have ever met or spoken.

Coaching Supervision Topic: Susan is currently working with leaders in a large national corporation.  Although she's been hired to help them navigate culture change she's running into consistent challenges re building a team of people to support the vision, due to constantly changing strategic priorities, unsophisticated hiring and an infatuation with the latest shiny new object to propel into fast growth trajectory.

Some of the participant take-aways:

• I could really see the shift in today’s supervisee. She had some enlightening moments...
• The value of coaching supervision to improving our coaching capacities.
• Reflecting on is there a possibility there is something we have not seen here together, and offering that inquiry to my client to co-create.
• I loved- Normative, Formative, Restorative and the summary that Damian gave toward the end of the call.
• How to work more intentionally with the coaches I support- and not shy away from Direct Communication and sharing what is there... It is particularly relevant to my work with coaches-- so much so I will be looking into his training.
• Process of examining parallel processes in supervision that may mirror what is going on with client. This can be helpful in addressing challenges/impasses in work together.
• Understanding of Supervisory Coaching, recognizing potential hazards of failing to self-manage as a coach.
• Patience in helping the client to walk through self-reflection. 
• Asking myself the question: Am I challenging enough with my clients?

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 MCC coaching sessions 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.

The Grand Trine Coaching Experience!

This series of calls is a different kind of MMC experience. And has NEVER BEEN DONE anywhere else before! 

Purchase Options:

• The package of all 3 calls at a discounted price
• Any of the calls individually  

How is this series different?

Coaches often discuss amongst themselves the advantages, disadvantages, benefits and challenges of 2 predominant coaching models: the more directive/consultative approach and the straight exploratory/discovery coaching style.

What's missing is the opportunity to compare both styles to each other with the same coach, the same client and the same issue.

This Grand Trine Coaching Experience did just that!  

What you will hear:

• Coaching sessions with the same 2 clients on each call using the two different coaching models 
• A delving into each client's experience of the 2 models and their results 
• Debriefings and Q&A's with the Master Coach 

What's the set up for the 3 calls:

• One Master Coach: Ben Dooley MCC, CPCC
• Two clients: Neither is in the coaching profession. One has never had coaching and the other has only had marketing coaching before. They both met Ben for the first time on the first call. 

   __________________________________________________

Ben Dooley MCC bio

This was a series of 3 teleclasses designed and specifically customized for the chapter members of the Denver International Coach Federation (ICF).

Each call was with a Master Coach from a different niche, educational background/schooling and ran a bit differently in order to give a unique educational and inspirational coaching experience.

Cynthia conducted her coaching session differently, stopping it occasionally engaging us in her process and inviting us to inquire into our own.  This is not meant to be a standard coaching session but rather an opportunity for us to look at how we might expand our range as coaches, expanding our ideas of whmere and how we might work with our clients.
 
Coaching Topic: Shannon wants coaching around the challenges she's facing with letting go and moving on-having just completed one business and now launching a new one.

Alan Seale, PCC Leader & Transformational Coach (Award winning author)
The call ran 1hr. 15 min,
To purchase Alan's call individually and to see another MMC demo he did, locate him under the "Transformational" niche tab

Coaching topic: "Feeling the hand of God (the universe, etc.) over me saying, "not yet" or, "not that direction"- doors that seem obvious not opening. How to be in that place of frustration."

Coaching Topic: "I am being recruited for a number of different positions, including a partnership in starting a new business, all in the world of Educational Technology. EdTech is such a high demand field right now and I have at least 6 different potential clients or employers recruiting me. I'm not sure how to proceed or how to leave myself enough flexibility to explore options!"

I asked the client the question that Laura requires all potential clients to answer prior to their initial consultation. I sent the answers to Laura. She then reviews the 3 answers with the client during the session and uses them to show her just how beneficial coaching will be.

So in this masterclass, Tony (via use of the transcript) did a deep dive debrief! He peeled back the layers and evaluated what actually happened at the subconscious level during that coaching session. 

We were joined by Fran Fisher, one of the world's top MCC, ICF assessor, and mentor coaches! She analyzed Tony's coaching for us against the ICF competencies. Priceless!

GET READY: to walk into a new world and walk away with a better understanding of:

• The power of connecting the coach and the clients’ subconscious
• Advanced listening to get to a deeper level
• How to discern triggers at the instinctive level
• The trap doors that lead to the subconscious
• Three steps to clarity
• How to become more masterful

You WILL RECEIVE:

• First in-depth look at Tony's Coaching Without Models, with examples from a real-world demonstration
• The benefit of two great minds and masterful coaches
• The live experience and answers to your questions
• The transcript of the coaching demo from October
• The recording of this January Event with Tony for study and review
• The ICF and/or BCC CEU
• The bragging rights to say you were there when...!

P.S. World renowned Master Coach, trainer and best-selling author Dr. Marcia Reynolds MCC is a big fan of Tony's Coaching Without Models. She actually mentioned it in her WBECS 2021 pre-summit class and urged coaches to ask Tony about it. Finally, we were able to do just that!

Some of the PARTICIPANT'S FEEDBACK:

“Like Amy (PCC coach on the call), I too was blown away between the inputs from Tony, his explanation of his process and his rationale for his moves and then with Fran’s exquisite deployment of the science and art of MCC coaching. It was an incredible medley. Like Amy I would relish more of these kinds of deconstructions. It really was food for my soul and dare I say subconscious. I learnt so much from this recording and analysis of Tony’s transcript.” ~ Tara Nolan MCC, Executive & Top Teams Coach

"This special call was really great. Loved every aspect of it. Thank you for always bringing us the best of the world of coaching." ~ Tina Muheim ACC, Executive, Leadership & Career Coach

"The session exceeded my expectations.  This is the first time that I have heard a session that described listening at a more granular level, including what to look for as opportunities to ask questions.  Would love more sessions like this.  Even as a beginner, this information is so useful as I strive for excellency." ~ Pamela Taylor CPC, Retirement Coach

"I hung on every word that both Tony and Fran said.  I wanted more.  I love getting advice that I can grab a hold of.  Listening for key words was so helpful." ~ Paula Freeman PCC, Life Coach 

So enjoy this history making masterful deep dive times two!

Master Certified Creative & ADD/ADHD Coach

 

Coaching Scenario: The client is not in the coaching profession and this is the first time that she and Barbara have ever met or spoken.

Coaching Topic: "I'm an artist, author and creative catalyst. Ioften start things and don't finish them - I know I have sabotaged my success in many ways due to difficulty focusing, too many ideas, feeling spacey etc! The topic I would like to be coached on is: how to set up systems that will work for me so I can follow through on my numerous ideas/projects floating around in my head. Being a super duper creative right brained person means the systems have to be colorful and easy for me to follow."

"The Barbara Luther call was phenomenal. She immediately heard beneath the client's stated agenda and gently unpeeled the layers of the onion to reveal the core of the matter and the client's wisdom. A beautiful example of coaching at its very finest!
Thank-you, Gail! I'm so glad to have discovered MMC and to have access to hearing coaches at the top of our profession."~Sally Ward, PCC, CPCC Ward Leadership

 "The call today was extremely helpful to me. For me it was an example of really being present to the client and getting over there with the client and allowing them to discover their brilliance. It was also really helpful for me as I am working in a business relationship with a coach who recognizes that she has some ADD traits."~D. Petersen, BCC - Coaching for Well Being

"I enjoyed listening to the call with Barbara Luther. I noticed how Barbara shared information and then very quickly returned power to the client, without needing to resort to being overly directive. It worked beautifully. She kept the integrity of the partnership, kept the client moving forward, and maximized the efficiency of the call. It was excellent session management. Her information about ADD seemed to be well-founded and truly useful to the client. She did all this with ease and good humor. A lovely experience. Thank you." ~Bobbie Burdett, BCC, PCC (applicant), Director of Training HealthWorld Online, www.authenticoach.com 

"Thank you to you Gail and to Barbara for choosing me for this teleseminar.  I really enjoyed the session and have a few wonderful take aways to use in my toolkit. I sure appreciate it!" ~Violette- the client on the call

MMC Different Kind of Call

And a first ever for coaches!

We heard segments of coaching sessions with one of Diane's 12-year-old clients with ADHD! Diane discussed how the competencies were applied and how its relevant regardless of who the client is. It was especially fascinating to hear a 12-year-old being coached and Diane’s specialty of tuning into a client's unique way of perceiving and learning-- to be able to do that with our clients is so important for all of us.

Diane gave us a bonus 30 minutes in order to have plenty of time as well as a copy of her webinar "The 5 Languages of Kids".

Some of the participant take-aways:

• I loved the way Diane used play, helped the child envision a task successfully completed, and used acknowledgement to create awareness. Thank-you for a truly out-of-the-box experience!
• Ways to work with clients whose brains are wired differently.
• It was great to get this exposure to a different area of coaching!
• Wow! Getting to hear a 12-year-old spitfire with ADHD being coached felt like such an honor. Witnessing Diane helping this "child" tap into her inner wisdom, was very moving and inspiring for me.
• Interactivity to make coaching an active process
• Ways to engage a new client who has some ADHD symptoms (undiagnosed)
• I found the tools powerful for teaching, parenting and coaching.
• Having more compassion for where people are
• Coaching with kids. What a wonderful niche!
• Overview of adjusting coaching approach/competencies for kids: using repetition, play, interactivity and hands-on work.  Helping kids leverage their strengths in addressing challenges.
• Refocus on paraphrasing what I've heard the client say
• Any age group can benefit from coaching. Excellent examples as well for teachers and parenting
• What a fascinating call! It was so clear in hearing McKinna that my daughter, who was not diagnosed with ADHD until her college years, had it all along.
