The Coaching Mentorship program is the final step of the process to become certified as a Positive Psychology Coach. Once you’ve completed the other requirements for certification, you’ll be able to register for our mentorship program to further develop your coaching fluency and confidence.
During this three-month distance-learning program, you’ll hone your Positive Psychology Coaching skills with real clients, while participating in a small mentoring circle of fellow student-coaches.
This course offers 40 ICF CCE units for ICF credentialed coaches.
Requirements to receive ICF CCE units:
✓ Prepare and submit pre-work and actively participate real-time in a small-group mentorship circle
video calls with classmates and faculty mentors
✓ Coach at least two paying clients, at least four sessions per client, during the course of the
mentorship program, and discuss these coaching experiences in mentorship circles and with faculty mentors.
This three-month mentorship program runs two to three times each year. The next session will begin with an orientation webinar on Tuesday, September 5, from 4:00–5:30 pm ET. Mentoring circle sessions will be held by video call on Tuesdays at that time, approximately three times per month. In addition to attending the live calls, you will complete nine peer coaching sessions and coach two clients through a four session engagement during the mentorship.
Live attendance is required. To ensure that every student is fully prepared for certification, students who miss more than two mentorship circle sessions will need to schedule one-on-one calls with faculty for an additional fee.
- Coaching engagements with at least two clients over the course of the program
- Mentoring circle sessions three times each month
- Preparation for mentorship circle sessions
- Peer coaching practice
I enrolled in this course with the intention of growing professionally, as I transitioned form a career in teaching to a career in coaching, but ended up with so much more! From the first day, I felt a sense of connectedness and curiosity. Every lesson was packed with thought provoking content, and each assignment felt deeply meaningful, not only professionally, but personally as well. I highly recommend the peer coaching opportunities in this course, not only for the chance to practice, but also for the wonderful relationships that are formed. I don’t remember the last time I felt this excited about begin a student!
