ICF Mentor Coaching for ACC & PCC Coaches
Mentor Coaching is an opportunity to strengthen the way you coach - developing greater awareness, presence, and confidence in applying the ICF Core Competencies. Whether you are working toward an ACC or PCC credential, renewing your credential, or simply wanting to grow as a coach, our work is focused on your development and the coaching conversations you bring.

Mentor Coaching That Develops the Coach
Mentor coaching creates space to look closely at your coaching — not just what you did, but what was happening in the conversation and what other possibilities may have been available.
Together we may explore:
- How you partner with your client
- What you are hearing, and what you may be missing
- The questions you ask and the awareness they evoke
- Your use of silence, presence, and curiosity
- Patterns such as leading, advising, interpreting or moving too quickly
- How the ICF Core Competencies show up naturally in your coaching
Through reflection, discussion and feedback on your coaching, the goal is not to give you a script or a “right” way to coach. It is to help you deepen your awareness, strengthen your own coaching style and make more intentional choices in the moment.
I am an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and ICF Mentor Coach Specialist for ACC and PCC coaches, with more than seven years of coaching practice and over 1,100 hours of client coaching experience.
My mentor coaching is grounded in the ICF Core Competencies and ethical standards, while recognizing that strong coaching is not about performing competencies or following a formula. It is about developing the awareness, presence and intentionality to respond to the person in front of you.
I bring experience as both an internal organizational coach and an independent coach, working with a wide range of people, challenges and coaching conversations.
As your mentor coach, my role is to offer thoughtful observation, feedback and challenge while creating space for you to reflect, experiment and develop your own authentic way of coaching.
I enjoyed my mentoring sessions with Daniela. Preparing for my PCC was quite intense and her kind, patient, and encouraging manner put me at ease during our sessions. I remember asking for a list of feedback items to tackle all at once, but Daniela’s thoughtful approach kept me grounded. By guiding me to focus on just one key item per session, she gently encouraged me in my growth as a coach, and helped me fine-tune my approach. Thank you, Daniela!
A relaxed, no-pressure conversation to explore whether coaching is right for you.
