What
This high coaching education program is intended to develop reflective coaches who are continuously developing as coaching professionals. This program allows you to take your mastery of the ICF core coaching competencies and ethics to the Master Level, in order to successfully apply for the ICF MCC credential. Not only a long coaching experience (a minimum of 2,500 hours - 2,250 paid - of coaching experience with at least 35 clients) is required by ICF to apply for the MCC credential. One of the most important ICF requirements is a deep mastery of the coaching skills.

Description of the Program
This high coaching education program is intended to develop reflective coaches who are continuously developing as coaching professionals. We shaped the content of this program to allow the participants to have a comprehensive experience, to touch the most sensitive aspects of the coaching profession, to dig deep into the mastery of the coaching skills with innovative techniques and tools, both at a cognitive and practical level.
Take a look in detail at the modules in this program:
MODULE 1
The MCC Coaching Mindset
- What does it mean to develop an MCC Coaching Mindset?
- What needs to be developed around your coaching in order to move towards the MCC level?
- What needs to be transformed inside of you to support yourself in the journey to the MCC level?
The participants are encouraged to develop a self-reflection activity to be conducted in the time between the training meetings, all along the 80 hours program, with the purpose to share the new self-learning and allow the Mentors/Trainers to offer customized feedback and support.
MODULE 2
How to use a session's transcript to improve your performance
What does it mean to ‘be a great learner’ towards the MCC credential?
In this module we share with the participants how to continually developing ourselves as humans is vital in order to serve our coaching clients at our best. We share the importance of regularly evaluating our coaching competency skills in order to elevate our coaching impact.
We use 2+ sessions transcripts and we work on them to allow the participants to find the evidence of:
– patterns of speaking by the client, like words, phrases, metaphors
– patterns of speaking by the coach
– emotional content
– client’s learning mode preference (VKA)
– what is revealed by the client around values and beliefs
– interruptions ‘in disguise’ used by the coach
– how the coach uses spaces for pause, silence, reflection
– how long do the coach and the client speak

– how to focus on the desired outcome in a way that is gentle and natural during the whole session
– what does it mean and what is the impact of exploring the desired topic at a deep whole level
– how to address and explore at a deep level changes in the direction of the conversation in relation to the desired outcome
– how the coach can learn how to use specific words, phrases and language the client uses, in a natural way to support the flow of the conversation.
MODULE 4
The many levels of Trust in MCC coaching
How trust, vulnerability, authenticity, gratitude can support the development of the MCC skills?
Participants will reach a deep understanding about how Trust in coaching is about the coach showing respect for the clients and their work and contribution. It is also about the capacity of the coach to create a safe space for the clients to work.
In this module we explore how the ‘Cultivates Trust & Safety’ competency can be evidenced either directly through language or actions by the coach or indirectly by the coach’s way of being. Besides, the participants explore and learn the deep connection between Trust and Ethics, through some examples.

– what is required to the coach at the MCC level to be fully aligned with authenticity and ease to the client’s approach?
– how can the coach use and reflect what is offered by the client as an evidence of the progress of the clients?

MODULE 8
Masculine & Feminine aspects of the coaching competencies: a non-binary approach
In this module we explore how both the masculine and feminine approach to life are important and valuable and how our world needs these energies in tandem to support growth, connection and evolution. We explore how these concepts are applicable to and support the mastery of the ICF Competencies at the MCC Level.
Participants explore and learn:
– how to balance the masculine and feminine aspects of coaching a client?
– how can we step out of the masculine lone warrior stance and lean into the inviting new awareness of the feminine power?
– why neither the masculine nor the feminine is good or bad, or better than the other – and the negative consequences of getting stuck in that mindset
