Coaching for Leadership Coaches

I help younger or less experienced leadership coaches develop their own self-awareness, because you can’t take others where you’ve not been yourself.

Coaches need coaches. And for those early in their leadership coaching career, I love helping them more fully develop their practice, their own capacity for leadership, and their niche. I am a certified mentor coach for the ICF (International Coaching Federation), certification coaching for CTI (Coaches Training Institute) students, and practice- and niche-building. I am a facilitator of the Accelerating Coach Excellence curriculum developed by David Peterson (formerly Head of Leadership and Executive Coaching at Google), and David Goldsmith (an early pioneer in the coaching industry).

My ACC credential was up for renewal and I needed a mentor coach. I hopped on the ICF website and found mentor coach Deborah Huisken. I knew nothing about her other than we both graduated from the same coach certification program. I wanted to keep my ACC credential, so I moved forward with the required 10 mentor coach sessions. Deborah completely exceeded my expectations. Who knew that a focus on the boring (but necessary) ICF Competencies could teach me so much about my coaching? With Deborah, this became a very powerful learning process. I’ve never met anyone who can say SO MUCH with so few words. By responding to her succinct powerful questions, I was able to identify what I do well, where I need to improve, and how each Competency shows up in my coaching. Because Deborah has long-term coaching experience, she is filled with “knowledge nuggets” which she freely shares. Deborah made this an extremely useful process for me personally and professionally.
