Contact
to register: Ken Abrams, MCC-ICF
Credential Committee Chair, ken@primedirections.com.
How
does this work? Volunteers are needed
to act as a client and be the coach for each
call. Coaches listening on the call are asked
to be silent. They have an opportunity to
say what they noticed after Ken's debrief
but no assessment/criticism of the coaching.
The intent is for the learning of both the
practice coach and coaches listening in.
It is truly
meant to be fun and
is designed to give ICF credential prospects
the opportunity to practice for their 'live'
portion of the ACC / PCC / MCC exam. The
call will be set up as if the candidate is
being tested.
It is also an extremely valuable learning
experience for ALL coaches - even the most
experienced!
What to expect on the call:
- There will be
a brief introduction of the process
by Ken Abrams.
- The assumption
will be that the Coach-Client relationship
is established.
- It is not necessary
for the Coach to introduce themselves
or interview the Client as to coachability.
- The
Coach will coach the Client for
about 20-25 minutes.
- Debrief
will be 10-15 minutes.
- Ken Abrams,
will listen and 'score' the Coach
Interested? Contact Ken Abrams at 610-240-4857 or ken@primedirections.com. Space is limited to 20 participants, including Ken, the coach and their client.
PACA may make an audio recording of this call only with permission of the participants. PACA members will have access to the recording in the Members Area of PACA's website.
