Mentor Coaching

Enhance ICF core competencies with Vanguard XXIs Mentor Coaching Team!

The Vanguard XXI 10-hour Mentor Coaching Process is two fold. 


First, all VPCC ICF Level 1 students receive their 10 hours of Mentor Coaching in VPCC.  This includes one 1-hour individual session, three 2-hour group sessions with up to 10 participants, and two 90-minute one on one mentor coaching sessions per student. 


Second, Vanguard offers individual and group 10 hour Mentor Coaching Cohorts for ICF ACC and PCC coaches requiring Mentor Coaching for credentialing.   


Mentor Coaching sessions facilitate a greater understanding and internalization of the ICF core competencies while employing the Vanguard XXI coaching model. Mentor Coaching strengthens participants' coaching skills to meet ICF assessed competencies at the respective ACC and PCC levels and promotes success in passing the ACC and PCC credentialing exams.  Mentor Coaching ensures participants are actively coaching with respective ICF ACC and PCC skills.


Vanguard Mentor Coaches are ICF MCC and PCC credentialed coaches actively coaching clients and facilitating ICF courses. 

For group and one on one sessions, participants are required to: 

  1. Bring recordings approved by clients to share with Mentor Coaches. 
  2. Listen to and engage with recordings along the way.
  3. Focus on 1-2 specific ICF competencies per session, culminating in all eight competencies being covered in the four group sessions and reviewed as required in one on one sessions.
  4. For one on one sessions, participants play and pause a portion of a recording and discuss ICF ACC markers and how to strengthen coaching practices and techniques.
  5. Mentor Coaches also work with participants on how to coach a particular client, and gain new perspective or ideas to experiment with that align with the ICF core competencies and minimum ACC-style coaching, highlighting PCC and MCC differences.
  6. A combination of these options, that best support the group or individual learning goals, and connect with the ICF competencies and mentor coaching requirements, and solutions that meet the unique needs of each client.
