When asked about their experience of becoming a professional coach, many coaches say that reaching the end of their training program is an emotional moment. They start feeling a sense of nostalgia mixed with the pressure of starting a new business or, if they are internal coaches, promoting their new set of skills within their company.
Especially at the beginning, keeping themselves focused on their practice and feeling confident about their ability to coach can be challenging.
Those who intend to gain an ICF credential receive at least one cycle of mentor-coaching sessions. Others may hire a mentor-coach for a few sessions to get some useful feedback. In any case, the process is limited to a short amount of time.
After that, it’s mainly learning by practice, which means a lot of time spent before raising the standard.
What we have learned, over many years of experience, is that in order to really grow with confidence from the very beginning, coaches need continuous feedback. And feedback is expensive.
THeach, mentor-coaching system™, has been developed to support coaches in receiving constant objective feedback for self development.
