Mentor Coaching for an ICF Credential consists of coaching and feedback in a collaborative, appreciative and dialogued process based on an observed or recorded coaching session to increase the coach’s capability in coaching, in alignment with the ICF Core Competencies.
LASER FOCUSED MENTOR COACHING
Laser Focused Mentor Coaching will give you valued feedback on your use of the ICF coaching core competencies in your recorded coaching session. You will submit a recording 1 week prior to our session which I will listen to and prepare feedback. I will email you a feedback form and we will do a deeper dive on our call. This program is perfect for the coach who is either currently in their training program or just completed a training program and need to fulfill the Mentor hours.
REFRESH AND FOCUSED MENTOR COACHING
In our Refresh and Focused Mentor Coaching we spend half of our time refreshing your knowledge base of the ICF Coaching Core Competencies and half our time giving real time feedback on your recording of a coaching session. The first session of the month will be a ½ hour session focused on a competency. The second session of the month we will listen to a recorded session with the Mentor guiding you through a self-assessment and then providing feedback on the ICF Coaching Core Competencies. If you’ve been out of your training for a while this is the perfect program for you!

PCLA Master Coach, Shawn Preuss, Offers Coaching Supervision!
Supervision is a Professional Coaches ultimate holistic support and accountability system! After nine years of training coaches, I’ve realized the immense need for continued support for professional coaches. For as long as I’ve trained coaches, I’ve mentored coaches, focusing on their skill in the use of the ICF Coaching Core Competencies. Mentoring grows coaching professionals in a thriving profession!
However, there is much more to being in the coaching profession. I see Coaching Supervision as filling the gap between continuing to grow as a coach and continuing to grow yourself as an individual and professional.
I offer two types of Coaching Supervision:
Supervision Engagement – Similar to a Mentoring Engagement. Sign up for 10 sessions and use as needed over a years’ time.
‘As-Needed’ Supervision – Sometimes Coaches need ‘in the moment’ supervision, guidance, and support. I offer 30-minute, 45-minute and 1 hour calls on a ‘as needed basis.’ Simply email me at shawn.preuss@preusscoachleader.com and put Supervision Call in the subject line and I will respond as soon as possible.
