Coach A — enough coaching hours, preparing to apply for PCC.
ICF requires 10 hours of mentor coaching. She has worked with a mentor and knows a session rightly focuses on what she brings that day — but in one hour, no one can walk her through all 37 Markers. She still isn't sure: against the official standard, where is she solid, and where short?
If after every session
you held a report mapped to all 37 Markers,
what would your 10 hours become?
Coach B — already ACC, wants to step up to PCC steadily.
She knows she's stuck somewhere, but can't name which competencies. She doesn't want encouragement — she wants a clear map.
If you could see your own radar —
which competencies are steady at PCC, which need two more reps —
which would you practise first?
Coach D — already ACC, and renewal is due.
Most people assume the 10 hours of mentor coaching are a one-off at application. They aren't: ACC renews every three years, and each renewal requires another 10 hours of mentor coaching — counted toward the Core Competency credits. Rather than just clearing the hours again, this round can also leave you a record of how your coaching actually changed over three years.
If these 10 hours ended with a radar showing three years of growth,
which competency would you look at first?
C — head of a coaching school / training organisation.
Her students all need the 10 hours of mentor coaching ICF requires. She needs an ICF mentor coach — and a way to see every student's progress.
If each student's mentoring hours and growth
were visible on one dashboard,
how much lighter would running the school feel?
