The Group Mentor Coaching course is an 8-session training course that allows coaches to share and receive direct feedback from both a Coach Mentor and peer coaches. This course is part of all certification programs (Academic, Executive, Wellness and Essential Life Coach certifications).
Mentor coaching is a valuable process that helps you become a better, more effective life coach. Receiving mentor coaching is also part of the ICF’s requirements for certification. All of our trainers use Marshall Goldsmith’s framework of feedforward, rather than feedback, in mentoring sessions with coaches. Feedforward is focusing attention and energy on what you can do better in the future, rather than focusing on past mistakes. It puts Carol Dweck’s concept of growth mindset into practice.
Group Mentor Coaching is offered in small groups. Group sizes range between four to eight coaches, and a new mentor coaching group starts approximately four times a year. Most coaches start group mentor coaching within a few months of finishing their initial training. One of the most significant benefits is being able to listen to other coaches' work. Group mentor coaching looks at both specific coaching skills and different coaching styles.

All of Coach Training EDU’s 1.0 and 2.0 Training Programs include 3 hours of one-on-one mentor coaching. These are also known as your coach-client overviews. You will schedule these throughout your training with your lead trainer. Your trainer will review your call according to the core competencies set out by the ICF, and you will receive feedback to incorporate into your next coaching sessions. These one-to-one mentor coaching sessions set the stage for group mentor coaching.
