Coaches working towards their ICF ACC or PCC credential

ACC credentialed coaches looking to renew

Coaches who want to fine tune their coaching skills

• Clear, specific feedback linked to the ICF Core Competencies
• A safe space to practise, reflect and grow
• Guidance on preparing and selecting recordings for your performance evaluation
• Increased confidence in presence, listening, ethics, contracting and evoking awareness

Mentor coaching with Real Clear is kind, reflective and practical.

• Start session: We set your goals, clarify your pathway, and agree how we will work.
• Observed coaching and feedback: You coach. I observe and offer strengths-based, competency-linked feedback. We focus on what advances your coaching presence and impact.
• Deliberate practice between sessions: You apply insights in real sessions, gather reflections and, where relevant, share recordings for targeted feedback next time.
• Review and next steps: We check progress, capture evidence of development, and plan what will help you continue to grow.

ICF Requirements At A Glance

If you are applying for an ICF credential or renewing ACC, the ICF requires:

• 10 hours of mentor coaching completed over a minimum of three months.
• At least 3 hours must be one-to-one. The remaining hours can be one-to-one or group (group size capped by ICF).
• Your mentor coach must hold a current ICF credential, as Lisa does. More about Lisa here.

We will plan your schedule so you meet them comfortably.

• ICF-aligned: Grounded in the ICF Core Competencies, PCC Markers and Code of Ethics.
• Strengths-based and trauma-informed: Encouraging, honest feedback that builds skill and confidence.
• Practical: Concrete suggestions you can use in your very next session.
• Real Clear lens: I bring my Mental Fitness framework and a working knowledge of cognitive neuroscience to support presence, regulation and reflective practice.

What Mentor Coaching IS and IS NOT

• Mentor coaching is skills development based on observed coaching and competency-linked feedback.
• Mentor coaching is not therapy, counselling, business consulting or exam guarantees. Your results come from your practice and reflection.

FAQs

Do you guarantee a pass?
No. Mentor coaching supports your learning and readiness. No mentor can guarantee outcomes. We focus on building observable competence in line with ICF standards.

Can I count group hours?
Yes. You need at least 3 hours one-to-one. The rest can be one-to-one or group within ICF limits. We will plan the mix that suits you.

Who can be my mentor coach?
A coach with a current ICF credential. If they are ACC, they must have renewed at least once. Using a PCC or MCC can create flexibility if you later upgrade.

How long will it take?
ICF requires a minimum of three months. Many coaches choose to spread sessions over 3 to 6 months to allow practice and reflection.
