I just had my first one-to-one mentor coaching with @Marina Zakharova yesterday. Her friendly, kind, yet strongly professional demeanor made the whole experience very warm while remaining decidedly clear. She takes her role to heart and believes in the value of the standards set by the International Coaching Federation. I knew I was in good hands. I have done many trainings in my life where I develop my craft under the guidance of a mentor. It's always an experience where one has to leave their ego at the door and be in it for professional and self-growth. Marina's feedback was so helpful to prepare me for meeting the ICF standards. I came away with concrete areas for 1. areas I need to strengthen (a lot!) and 2. areas where I have demonstrated the required competencies. I am excited about fine tuning my coaching in the weeks until our next meeting. I will work to reach the markers, a goal for which I am equipped between Marina's clear explanations and her written assessment. I have all the information necessary to reach that goal. Now it will take me really applying her recommendations during my coaching sessions. I'm on the path!

A warm reminder to everyone in Cohorts 1 and 2 (2026): if you haven’t booked your first one-on-one session with me, please do so now. Our ICF mentor coaching engagement includes seven hours of group mentor coaching and three hours of individual mentor coaching. Please leave at least two weeks between your individual sessions, in line with ICF guidance, so you have time to apply your developmental feedback in your coaching practice. My ICF mentor coaching work with these cohorts is scheduled to finish by the end of November 2026. That leaves December for the Academy’s Final Performance Evaluation and program completion process. The Academy handles the evaluation; my role is to provide the ICF mentor coaching and developmental feedback. Once you have completed your 10 hours, I can confirm completion of your ICF mentor coaching. Any additional mentoring or documentation under a later new process is outside the scope of this cohort engagement. I invite you to book your remaining sessions asap. Also please note that there are requirements for 1-1 sessions (your recorded session, transcript with the timestamps and self reflection are to be submitted at least 2 days prior your scheduled session). If you have questions about your ICF mentor coaching with me, you’re welcome to message me directly. @Doreen Kahale @Anastasia Chernyshova @Sabrina Cauvet @Alvin Waterhouse @Marci Laughlin @Elijah Justice @Ria Gavalaki @Noah Carter @Joy Cornelia Radu @Brieana Downs @Vincent Morris
