This Month's Moore Master Coaching's Gratitude Spotlight!
This was one of our ICF MCC Exam Coaching Sessions but with a twist. We heard a coaching session of Marc's that did not award him his Master credential! And as a result, as one participant said "This was maybe even more valuable than listening to MCC calls that passed! So much insight and learning about what to watch out for and pitfalls. Fascinating, Thank you!!"
You can read all about the call and more of the participant take-aways. Look below in the section "Locate by Different Types of Demos" under the "MCC Exam Sessions" tab.
Subscription to the monthly calls (can cancel anytime with a 30 day notice) enables you to get any of the past calls for the same low subscription rate! To subscribe see box at the bottom of the page.
FYI: Some of the Master Coaches have very little or no feedback posted and that's because they were guests prior to my having the CEU form for participants to fill out.

Marc Bowles MCC
Leadership, Well-Being & Team Coach Bonus: additional 30 minutes of Q&A
Different kind of MMC call
ICF MCC Exam Session with a Twist & MMC First!
Coaching mastery is achieved in part byexploring and dissecting our less than masterful moments. This is why mentoring is so valuable.
And it's why this call with Marc is really exciting. We heard a coaching session that he submitted for the ICF Master Certified Coach exam.
The Twist: it is not one of the sessions that awarded him his MCC! But now it's being used in great service to coaches!
We chose to go with this coaching session in order to focus the learning on:
What wasn't considered masterful enough
Why that is
Ways it might have been done differently to be more masterful, more beneficial for the client
Hearing the differences in this way, with a side by side comparison, provides learning that only this kind of demonstration can.
Coaching Scenario: Marc met Ally when he was his instructor in a coaching course. Marc also mentored Ally. Then they stayed connected through their interest in bike riding and eventually got into a formal coaching relationship.
Coaching Topic: He wants to progress through the ICF process and get his PCC. He’s finding the CCEU part very confusing and challenging. How to find meaningful programs and living in Scotland finding them at an affordable price

Some of the participant's take-aways:
Very helpful call format in reviewing "failure", as opposed to success in meeting coaching certification requirements. This approach should be incorporated more often!
This was a great experience that was made even greater by the coach’s humility as he shared his learning. He modeled the value of “stepping into feedback” and continually learning. I learned that a way to more masterful coaching is to take every opportunity to reflect and learn from each coaching conversation--and that something new may be learned each time that conversation is listened to.
To be aware of how familiarity with a client can impact my presence and who I am “being” in the coaching conversation. To be a true partner, stay curious, explore, and evoke awareness without influencing or leading clients.
I found the discussion around ways to check in with clients when they have breakthroughs to be very helpful--especially how it’s not about looking like “approval” by the coach.
This was maybe even more valuable than listening to MCC calls that passed! So much insight and learning about what to watch out for and pitfalls. Fascinating, Thank you!!
Marc’s heart & humility!
The importance of getting a “thumbs up”; from mentor coaches for the selected recordings to include with an application; We’re all on a learning curve -- just because a coach makes mistakes now doesn’t mean they won’t develop mastery!
Be attentive to familiarity in coaching. Knowing the person really well (personally) can result in making assumptions about what the person truly means. It impacts natural curiosity.
Importance to self-management and maintaining coaching mindset and state of “being”, of being a coach.
The point around being careful not to demonstrate approval when celebrating client wins
It was interesting to be attuned to the contrast of looking for mistakes rather than just successful “masterful” technique. The presenting coach’s courage in sharing the session, along with noted critique was also a valuable example of modeled healthy introspective behavior for coaches.
This approach was refreshing and offered an interesting and productive perspective in furthering coaching development.
To ask the client what certain words mean to them and to ask them to come up with their own metaphors.
Executive & Vertical Development Coach Bonus: Additional 30 minutes
Different kind of MMC call
We listen to one of Jessica's coaching sessions that passed the ICF MCC exam along with getting to hear some of the examiner's feedback. Followed by a debriefing and Q&A.
Please Note Jessica's coaching session runs around 53 minutes, so she gave us a bonus 30 minutes in order to have plenty of time for debrief and Q&A. The call provides 1.5 CEUs.
Coaching Scenario: This client is in health care delivery and is applying for an internal position as an assistant dean. It’s a brand-new position so there’s no one to ask about what to expect. Would like a better understanding of things she should be thinking about at least for the interview process.
Coaching Topic: She was one of Jessica's real-world clients a couple of years ago and they coached together for about 7 sessions.

Some of the participant take-aways:
I am VERY appreciative of this coach’s insight!
She’s so open with the pitfalls of trying to move forward in her own coaching technique.
Excellent brief, powerful questions.
I really like her coaching style. I think I would like to be coached by her.
Truly - that was great reinforcement & training - setting the coaching tone deeply.
Playing with the balance between spacious/not getting ahead of the client/neutral with innovation/deep client connection.
I hope I have the same determination as Jessica demonstrated (in getting her MCC). It’s encouraging!
The point she made of being careful about getting “into” the client’s work, where laughing could be interpreted as leading, rather than acknowledgement or affirmation.
The diligence of the process and time it took to get to a proper MCC recording.
Amazing call. I so appreciated her openness and candor.
This was a particularly valuable call -- Focused relevant questions, effective rapport, easy flow, blend of tools.
I thought this was a great call- great demo of a well-structured and implemented coaching session.
It was also nice to hear a master coach be so humble and share about her stumbles in her process towards attaining the MCC credential. Thanks!
Loved watching the coach dance with the client.
Her calm presence
Remember to not stack my questions!
Ensuring I leave plenty of space for the client to do their own work. Make sure that I use the client’s language.
Executive Coach Bonus: 30 extra minutes for additional discussion and Q&A including the examiner's feedback
Different kind of MMC call!
This was the very first of these calls. It was unprecedented! We got to hear Elene's coaching session that passed the ICF MCC exam, debrief it with Elene, hear the comments of the ICF assessors and ask questions!
Coaching Scenario: Michelle hasn’t been a formal client of Elene’s since 2008. However she and Elene have worked together professionally since then in joint workshops. Michelle is a speech pathologist and they have also brought each other in on different engagements. And so in 2017 Elene asked Michelle if she would like a free coaching session in exchange for the session being recorded and submitted for the exam.
Coaching Topic: Wants to know how to deal with mistakes. How to get back on track and not get cynical about it. How to continue to have things continue to be working and humming along without being hard on herself. Wants to balance the extremes.

Some of the participant take-aways:
Very impressed by her master skill level. So many golden nuggets, but I guess my biggest takeaway was her use of the clients words, and how she consistently wove them back in to the conversation. It allowed the client to really feel heard and understood
A truly memorable call. I will listen and re-listen to this recording many times.
What taking time to explore the coaching agreement looks like in practice
So many great tips for the MCC exam.
What a fabulous call! There were so many powerful and immediately useful takeaways. The one that sticks out is related to not uttering affirming sounds as the clients speaking because that it is considered interrupting the client.
Some of the pointers to look for when doing a recording.
The power of silence for both the coach and the client.
How MCC coaching differs in quality from PCC coaching-specifically the critical element of designing the coaching agreement (can take a large part of the session) and coaching presence How she reflected back what she was hearing and tied themes together throughout the call
I’m so glad she shared her assessment feedback.
Another great call! My head is spinning with new things to practice.
The work, practice and preparation it takes to reach the MCC level!
Narrative, Relationship & Mentor Coach Bonuses: Additional 30 minutes of Q&A and a copy of the assessor's report
Different kind of MMC call!
Lyssa came back for another call to share the recording of her coaching session that passed the ICF MCC exam plus the examiners feedback. She gave an additional 30 minutes for debrief and Q&A. You can read about Lyssa's call where she conducted a live coaching session with a client she had never met and had never been coached before under the "narrative" or "relationship" niche tab
Coaching scenario: Pam is a long time on-going client of Lyssas- since @2013.
Coaching topic: She's feeling very stuck as to what to do and how to move forward. She loves being alone and wonders if she should stay with her boyfriend who ultimately would like it to be more. She's worried that maybe her pattern and that she will always find an issue and never be able to be fully comimitted to someone.

Some of the participant take-aways:
I thought the coaching was brilliant
Patience, patience, patience. Even when the client says “I don?t know”, keep being curious because they do know!
Loved Lyssa’s style! Her depth of listening and presence to be in the soup with the client and ask only what was necessary to help the client take one step forward at a time!
Exquisite example of how to help a client who is feeling really stuck break through and begin to move forward.
To relax and trust the process-even if the client feels totally stuck, using metaphor and simple questions with slow pacing was enough to help her break into a new space
Ask questions based on what’s important for the benefit of the client rather than for my curiosity
Creating “presence” first as the first communication
Having the client create visuals to describe their focus for the call and/or feelings and then referencing that visual throughout the session.
So many of her methods and ways of being were new and inspiring
How the ICF assessors rated the call
Good examples for the coaches I mentor
How you really have to believe in your client’s wholeness, even when they are going through difficult life experiences.
The multiple check in moments with what the client was physically feeling, and using that as a gauge of her progress.
Building on client metaphors, and getting clarity on what the metaphor means, not to me, but to the client.
The power of metaphor. Loved how the client’s metaphor about the pot could also reflect a coach approach.
We heard one of Rachel's coaching sessions that passed the ICF MCC exam. We then had a debriefing and Q&A.
Rachel gave us the following bonuses:
additional 30 minutes for more Q&A making the call 90 minutes and worth 1.5 CEUs
a copy of the transcript
a copy of the examiner's feedback
Coaching Scenario: Rachel and the client Cynthia are colleagues and met in a class. They have and continue to support each other in their coaching.
Coaching Topic: After receiving some surprising (and somewhat difficult to hear) feedback on her communication, she’s wants to look at effective communication and what that means for her.

Some of the particpants take-aways:
“This session went so deep using the power of metaphor. It was such a gift witnessing the coach’s mastery in weaving it throughout the session, using reflection and powerful and unusual questioning to take the client deeper and deeper.”
“The power of sharing the coach’s observation and following with an exploration of the client’s self-observation. And the power of visioning in the session.”
“It was a beautifying and elegantly progressed session with spaciousness and such powerful presence.”
"The importance of pauses and creating space for the client to reflect."
"Reminded of the power of metaphors; surprised that a session which included a guided meditation passed the MCC exam, but obviously if carefully done making sure the client is leading the way it can be done"
"I am taking away principles as well as tidbits on style to inform my practice of mentoring MCC candidates"
"This session was truly amazing in all ways! One of my favorites"
"The coach was in partnership with the client when she offered the visualization based on the client’s learning. The visualization became a resource that evolved naturally as the coach heard the client’s context and how she moved into it—especially the client’s use of metaphors."
"To ask how a client likes to learn during an initial conversation when contracting with a new client. For example, visual vs non-visual thinker, use of metaphors, etc."
"Loved the coach’s comments about reflective practice!"
"New ways to continue to develop trust with established clients."
"A strong example of how to keep utilizing the client’s metaphor beyond, “how does it feel?” and to take it into support of the client’s accountability methods post-session."
"Exquisite coaching presence and trust-ability to help client create new awareness and breakthrough."
"partnership with the client by informing what coach was experiencing and asking what client wanted her to experience."
"How to use guided imagery well in a session"
"Reflect back on specific terms or phrases the client is using to go deeper on meaning."
"Setting the agreement and seeing what the client wants from the session."
Executive Coach Bonuses: Additional 30 minutes for Q&A and discussion on Tunde's new non-profit coaching documentary film: The Light & Shadow of Coaching - In and Beyond Organizations. Tunde also gave a copy of the transcript of the session.
This is a different kind of MMC call
On this call Tunde is allowing us to hear one of her coaching sessions that passed the ICF MCC exam! She then debriefs and answers questions. And she gives us an additional 30 minutes for discussion and Q&A.
Client scenario: This is one of Tunde's real-life, high-level executive clients. This was their second session.
Client topic: This client wants to know how to balance giving and receiving. She feels she gives a lot and would like to feel appreciated. How she can care for and serve others and at the same time care for herself without feeling selfish. She is able to analyze it but is unable to find the correct balance and to feel confident about it.

Some of the participant take-aways:
There is a balance between knowledge and the practical wisdom that comes from working with clients. Be curious about both science and practice.
To always have top of mind awareness of how present I am as well as my ability to show up authentically.
I can trust myself.
It is interesting how she mentioned that if she did the session now, she would use more silence to move progress faster.
Going after the limiting belief.
Appreciated Tunde’s comments about her documentary. Appreciated her challenge to coaches to pay attention to who we are becoming as well as demonstrating our capacity to be challenged.
A reminder of how important the somatic elements of a coaching session are and not to step over them.
You can give the client the choice to choose how to conduct the coaching. Ask the client if they want to sit, stand, move during the coaching
The energy between the client and coach was visceral and dynamic.
The topic is extremely valuable!
Tunde’s humility & learning focus
Her book on Coaching Presence focuses on non-verbal communication. My first thought is that this aligns with her comment about more silence.
I like how she built trust by respecting the client’s desire to move their coaching space
I struggle at times with the feeling to move the conversation in a direction that I think it should go. I like the reminder of silence helps me slow things down. Allow the client to think resulting in moving the conversation in their direction not mine.
So many valuable insights on presence and dancing with the client.
Life, Career, Leadership & Mentor Coach Bonuses: additional 20 minutes and 10% discount on mentoring with Sarah
This is a diffent kind of MMC call!
We heard one of Sarah's coaching sessions that passed the ICF MCC exam. We then had a debriefing and Q&A.
Coaching Scenario: Sarah and the client have known each other for a few years through an associate firm that they both work for. Last year they had a few sessions together that were recorded to potentially submit for Sarahs MCC credential application. The client has since returned for additional coaching and they are part-way through their current coaching engagement.
Coaching Topic: The client wants to know how to feel more at peace in her everyday being and everyday life.

Some of the participants take-aways:
Brilliantly done. Beautifully paced, curious, and spacious.
I am taking away how clear and concise the coaching was. There were no extra words, which gave space for the client to process her agenda fully and deeply.
I thought it was a masterful example of how to coach around clients’ feelings/emotions and stay in the coaching frame by asking “what” and “how” questions.
To get better at asking succinct questions. The coach provided a beautiful demonstration of how powerful this can be.
Really appreciated what the coach shared about her journey to becoming an MCC coach.
Her extraordinary coaching presence --she made it look simple and it’s not!
Continually clarifying the agreement throughout the session-we’ve heard this from other MCCs as well.
Loved this call--the client got such a beautiful breakthrough, and it was elegantly done.
Reminder of paying attention to body language and keeping questions simple. I just applied it in a chemistry call :) - simpler questions, stop myself, don’t double up.
I plan to practice acknowledging and highlighting clients “Aha moments” more often by pointing it out just like the Coach did in this session “that sounds like a realization”
Great demo of MCC level coaching with powerful questions and a LOT of space for the client to explore and reflect.
I observed some keen re-contracting, great to check in with client to make sure they will get what they want from the session. Also, good reminder to acknowledge client more throughout the session, not just at the end.
How Sarah was able to be present with her client through each of the stages of the coaching process. Everything flowed seamlessly.
Use of “What is coming up for you?” and other similar questions when I don’t know what to ask next.
Executive Leadership & Career Coach Bonuses: Additional 30 minutes of Q&A and copy of the assessor's report
This is a different kind of MMC call
On this call Emily is allowing us to hear one of her coaching sessions that passed the ICF MCC exam! She then debriefs, shares the examiner's feedback and answers our questions! And she gives us an additional 30 minutes for discussion and Q&A.
Client scenario: This is one of Emily's real life clients who is not in the coaching profession. They coached together on and off for around 2 years.
Client topic: A core issue that’s played out in her professional life that she has made great strides on, is now showing up with her personal passion. She feels stuck, a sense of overwhelm and urgency around creating a blog and workshops etc. around capturing memories and cant figure out what to do first or when to do it.

The call today was exceptional!
This was so effective and felt like a clean version of me. Gives me hope!
Love the way the client drove the session so peacefully, it can be difficult even at the MCC level to let go of our well intentioned agendas
Beautiful at ease MCC coaching - plus deepening my understanding of the MCC
I “loved” what the coach said about leading with love for her clients. That love is one of her strongest values. It showed!
To take more time getting beneath what the client brings to the session to get to the actual agreement. To be better at co-creating an agreement with clients around a pre-session check in form.
To learn about the ICF MCC Qualification Process
This was a great session! It was very interesting to be able to listen to the session and then review the feedback from the ICF assessor’s perspective.
Not looking at the tip of the iceberg but going underneath, looking deeper.
Love these exam review calls as they make me a better assessor and mentor.
It was a very high level call
The importance of trusting the process. Being comfortable with silence, asking powerful questions.
Reminder of how to get to the coaching agreement without my natural curiosity pulling me down a rabbit hole.
Libby Graves MBA, MCC
Master certified Leadership Development & Executive Career/Life Transition Coach Bonus: An additional 30 minutes for more debriefing and Q&A
Client Scenario: This is one of Libby's real-world clients. They have worked together for about 2 years.
Client Topic: He is a dentist in the military. He realizes the questions he’s been asking “What do I do next and How do I continue along the path of self-development for a particular job?” are not the right questions. The better ones are “What kinds of roles do I foresee for myself that allow me to be authentic in who I am? And “knowing who I am and taking an inventory of the leaders I have available to me, how do I leverage those into the next level?”
This was one of our ICF MCC exam sessions
We got to hear one of Libby's coaching sessions that passed the ICF MCC exam along with a review of the examiner's feedback. Followed by a debriefing and Q&A.

Some of the participant take-aways:
Excellent call today which exemplified truly masterful coaching!
Inward circles of deepened awareness vs spinning circles of repetition.
Her good example of pinpointing the coaching agreement.
how well she packaged together a summary from what her client said. Also, I like the wording, “What progress do you feel you’re making?” regarding the coaching session.
Clients are supported when they feel a sense of trust and safety in the coaching relationship, and when they are given plenty of space to engage in deep exploration and the time to process what’s uncovered.
To be completely comfortable in a space of not know knowing--to let whatever unfolds appear--to let go of any need to have “the” answers.
Maintaining Presence is what stood out for me. I often have to calm myself, to be more present. This was helpful.
Self-management and patience with the process of uncertainty of outcome.
Inward circles of deepened awareness vs spinning circles of repetition.
A new tool “allow the story telling” for retirement transitioning clients.
the completeness of the ending - I can learn a lot from this, going deeper even as I am moving to close.
The power of coaching to help clients develop and grow strong belief in themselves.
Discussion of tools was really helpful; for example, use of “Life Story” in setting baseline and connecting with clients to help them feel heard and understood.
It's always valuable to hear a session that passed the MCC exam.
Personal Mastery & Communication Coach & Methodology Coach Trainer Bonuses:additional 30 minutes, the transcript of his coaching session,his MCC coaching evaluation questions and his Mentor Coach's assessment.
This is one of our ICF MCC exam sessions!
Coaching Scenario: Jay is one of Russell's real-world, on-going clients. Jay is not in the coaching profession. He hired Russell when every area of his life had stalled, so they coached together for about 18 months and got things back on track. This session was toward the end of that time period.
Coaching Topic: Being whole-hearted is a priority to Jay. Lately he feels he is so caught up in his head, he wants to get out of it and connect with his heart.

Nice example of a coach helping his client getting out of his head and acting more from the heart.
Very insightful call. I totally enjoyed.
3 steps to analyze your call
The importance of your coaching presence in a coaching call so that “you” don’t get in the way of the coaching.
Taking time between calls to continue to center myself so that I keep my coaching presence
Great coaches are always learning and growing--even MCC level coaches.
I really appreciated Carly Anderson’s Ten Characteristics of an MCC Skill Level Coach. Also Russell’s tips on how to evaluate a MCC call.
good checklist for self-evaluation against ICF competencies
A reminder to not coach the problem but the person and his/her relationship to the problem
The power of silence. The use of metaphors.
Challenging the client through an observation
The agreement was done extremely well.
Having patience, Giving the client plenty of space to work out their thoughts and when to shift the conversation back to a positive direction if going south.
Excellent session.
Spaciousness
moving from head to heart
Great stuff!!!
Active listening, space for storytelling. Client growth, awareness, patience (I wanted to jump in with questions a couple times where waiting made most sense). Finally, a most thoughtful and effective use of language.
Seek clarity, challenge appropriately. Love the candor! Brutal, but valuable honesty...

Some of the particpant take-aways:
All of it! But I think the length of the silence is what intrigued me most, allowing the client the time to process and write things down, and letting go of the feeling of having the next question, and just BEING WITH the client.
Ask brief questions using their words. See them on stage holding a microphone and me in the audience.
How brilliantly Diana was present and yet not taking up “space”--she aerated the call with possibilities for the client to process, reflect, and take notes.
Get this woman back for another MMC call!
Every coach needs to hear this call.
Her contracting extended for much of the call... was always aware of it!
My biggest takeaways from this call were the coaches presence and use of silence, and the awesome pacing…Absolutely loved this session, what a great Master Coach!
The power of summarizing and recapping periodically to make sure we’re tracking with the client, while also sharing observations and making distinctions to facilitate their reflection.
Diana brilliantly demonstrated the effectiveness of brief, powerful questions that literally took the client’s breath away!
the deep, deep silence
I better understand what it means to meet the client where they’re at vs. pushing them ahead by teaching new concepts!
This not only reinforced my direction, it demonstrated there’s even a deeper level beyond what I’ve been achieving.
CALL 2 - Diana's 2nd coaching session that passed the ICF MCC exam Bonuses: Additional 30 minutes of Q&A and a copy of the examiner's report and scoring

Some of the participant's take-aways:
The masterful way in which Diana asked the questions so that Jason identified his own solutions
recognizing and noting changes in tone more often.
"what do you want to keep?"
Usefulness of acknowledging voice tone and body changes in clients as they discuss certain topics. This observation can help inform what should be pursued and how.
Use the clients metaphors, beautiful demo of doing so.
Diana really did the dance and listened. Took her time and paused to form thoughtful questions.
Coaches vulnerability to share she didn’t pass ICF test 1st time.
Paid attention to clients use of, piggybacked and built off metaphors to tie back and move client forward.
The Demonstration of using more questions about client feeling something in their body/the emotion.
Very clear and concise questions!
A powerful demonstration of the ICF Competencies.
Verbalizing a client’s energy/energy shifts/tone...
keeping in mind to check in with client about awareness being created during the process
Excellent book she wrote, I ordered it after visiting her website.
Executive, Medical, Mentor Coach & Coach Supervisor Bonus: Additional 15 minutes for Q&A and review of examiner's feedback and scoring.
This is a different kind of call!
We heard one of Maggie's coaching sessions that passed the ICF MCC exam along with a review of the examiner's feedback and scoring. Followed then by a debriefing and Q&A with the Master Coach.
The coaching session runs approximately 21 minutes. So this was the first time we will hear a session under 30 minutes that met all the requirements to pass.
Please Note extended call time. Maggie gave us a bonus 15 minutes in order to have plenty of time.
Coaching Scenario: Maggie and Kamila didn’t really know each other before this session but they were both coaches and trainers for the same training provider. So Maggie invited her to be the client and of course thesession passed and Maggie received her MCC last year (2020).
Coaching Topic: She is redefining her business to include not just working with her clients but to package her knowledge into eBooks, books and recordings. She feels her “willing” is much higher than her doing. It’s very important to her to come up with steps that she not only wants to take but will take.

A beautiful demonstration of trust and intimacy and powerful questioning. It can be a great opportunity for the client’s growth to ask challenging questions. Notice patterns and put it on the table asking, “what does this mean for you?”;
I loved what Maggie said at the end: 1. Trust yourself; 2. Trust the process/system/partnership; 3. Be in service; 4. Enjoy the ride. This is how I attempt to and want to approach every coaching conversation.
There’s some comfort in hearing that even a coach at the MCC level has to stay vigilant about coaching the person and not the problem.
How to dance with a Client during the session:
To be focused on using client’s metaphors
I love these MCC exam passing calls!!! Keep them coming!! Thanks!!
How simplicity can work magic in coaching a client to move forward efficiently and with conviction.
Coaching does not need to be hard... You can keep it simple, take it one step at a time, and be with your client. This resulted in a very efficient, and elegant session which delivered results for this client.
Just love these sessions, Gail - so real and so helpful as I evolve as a coach.
The power to explore the client’s metaphor in birthing her plans. The power of expansive questions that created intimacy and trust in a very short time.
Pay attention to the patterns during the session and lay them out on the table. Keep only a few notes – clients’; words that have meaning for them and perhaps a pattern around them. Loved her last 4 pieces of wise advice.
Make sure I am checking in with the client to ensure the session is meeting the client’s goals.
The impact of using metaphors, client’s words and short questions. Check with the client on the progress during the session
Helping clients connect what excites them to what their next steps might be in pursuing their goals.
Incredible session! The ease and simplicity of it was brilliant.
The coaching session was seamless and highly effective in only 22 minutes. No need to prolong things when the coach is skilled! The client got exceptional value.
Spend more time on the agreement with the client. Make sure the contracting is solid.
Just love these sessions, Gail - so real and so helpful as I evolve as a coach.

Some of the participant's take-aways:
Both coach and client brought their authentic selves to the coaching conversation. The ease with which they engaged was a demonstration of their high-trust relationship.
Trusting myself and my intuition and putting it out there without explanation or asking permission. The coach modeled great confidence and trust.
I appreciated the conversation around external/internal processors and prep forms. I also like the tip shared by the coach--the fastest way to more masterful coaching is to listen to a recording of my coaching and assess it.
1. Brief questions2. Gentle Coaching presence3. Coach the person, not the situation
Allowing spaciousness for the client.
To focus more on the contracting process to ensure clients understand what coaching is and isn’t--including coach and client roles and responsibilities.
The power of using words the client uses.
Building trust in the relationship allows for the coach to be more themselves in the call.
When clients feel fear (like I am afraid I will never be able to sing again), to lean into the fear and not avoid it. The question, what if you couldn’t sing again, was a great question that had the client really feel this fear.
simple, easy, space
More room, slow down (as always), the power of letting the client play around with their awareness.
I think the portion of the call that spoke to suicidal intervention was really interesting.
Giving the client the time and room via the silences to tap into their own brilliance.
Want to learn more about coaching suicide awareness- a valuable skill to have not only for clients but for life in general.
Michael revealing his learning around the affirming noises he made. The way he explained why it’s not beneficial to the client was eye opening, loved it! Will be more watchful in my own coaching.
Leadership & Executive Coach Bonus: An additional 30 minutes of Q&A
This is one of our ICF MCC exam sessions!
We get to hear one of Cathy's coaching sessions that passed the ICF MCC exam. Wethen have a debriefing and Q&A. This call provides 1.5 CEUs.
Coaching scenario: The client is one of Cathy's real world past clients, they worked together for a short time a couple of years ago.
Coaching topic: He has worked for an organization for 12 years. It no longer aligns with his vlaues, its a toxic environment with no room for innovation and growth. He wants to decided if he should leave and if so when.

Some of the participant's take-aways:
Cathy’s call was incredible. I loved her coaching presence, powerful questions, and the way she built off the client responses to dive deep. It was transformational coaching at its best.
Introducing myself to myself; Questions: What would you want the child to forgive yourself for? Who do you need to be to come face to face with yourself? I found value in what the coach said about working with clients who may not be as emotionally intelligent as this client: to speak their language.
How much our clients' “topics” often are a reflection of our own experiences as a Coach. The importance of introducing myself to myself!
I especially appreciated the partnership as equals that Cathy and Thomas co-created. Thank you!
Lovely, evocative exploration between client and coach, which enabled client to reclaim parts of his inner child and face his fears.
Masterful coaching results when we learn to master ourselves; we move beyond thinking about or doing the process of coaching. We become the process--we live it. The coach demonstrated this. She was present and had trust and rapport with her client. A beautiful dance ensued as the coach listened deeply, asked powerful questions, and the client responded with an open heart.
This call was a powerful example of a coach who trusts her intuition and abilities as an empath.
Takeaway -- remember that I am more than just a coach -- bring my whole self into the coaching relationship.
eloquence and ease
That using scales can sometimes be valuable
Great call exemplifying masterful coaching methodology and process.
Integrating emotional intelligence into work as well as technique of practicing turning statements into questions.
I’ve always been a bit reticent to work with client metaphors as I can sometimes get lost, but loved the way Cathy did that and it has encouraged me to explore that more.
I thought the call was very beneficial.
This was an amazing and powerful coaching session!
This affirms the power of coaching, and that as I continue to grow in confidence and the art of coaching, I see the wonderful road I am on. This client is incredibly open and receptive to wherever the session goes.
Great observations about what was going on in the client’s body language

Different kind of MMC call!
On this call Tara allowed us to hear one of her coaching sessions that passed the ICF MCC exam! She then debriefed, reviewed the examiner's report and feedback and answered our questions!
Coaching Scenario: Tara and her clientmet on a High Performance Leadership Program back in 2008. Tara was her Leadership Facilitator/Coach at the time and since then Veronica has engaged Tara multiple times and back at the beginning of 2019, Tara asked Veronica to be her coachee for the MCC exam.
Coaching Topic: This was an unusual topic for most of the coaches on the call and one that was controversial. The client brought to the session what she called an "intiguing dichotomy". In essence it revolved around having a relationship with a married man. She wanted to gain clarity and a sense of peace around the issue and her decisions.

Some of the participant take-aways:
Again, I feel like saying, “Wow, that was the best yet!” These MCC test examples are super valuable. I am blown away by how she did the whole session without really talking in-between her powerful questions.
A good example of it being very much about the client’s relationship with the issue vs. the issue itself.
The power of short, evocative questions using the client’s words.
The importance of recognizing when it’s “my stuff” that can get in the way
This was the Best Call Ever! You are wonderful and thank you for these calls. Anyone not taking advantage of what you are offering is really missing out.
Wonderful call! It was deeply instructive.
The precision in asking questions in service of what the client wants and not getting distracted by the shiny objects.
Wow, just wow, very impressed. Taking away all of it, wrapped up in a beautiful bow.
This was an extraordinary learning opportunity. Would love to have her on a call again just to be able to learn from her.
Tara was masterful in helping the client get clarity and not allowing any judgment to get in the way of serving her.
Tara exhibited great spaciousness and curiosity, and was completely invested in what was most important for the client.
Spend more time establishing the coaching agreement.
The beauty of being able to withhold judgment
This was like listing to an exquisite musical performance. So skilled, so talented and so beneficial to the client and the coaches that got to listen to it.
I will be using the insights shared by Tara in my next coaching engagement.
I learned a better way to set up the coaching agreement with the client as well as the level of detail this competency truly requires.
The way Tara structured her questions was brilliant - so short and precise that focused her client on the topic versus soliciting details.
Use the client language in a way that is provocative
CALL 2 FYI When Tara was a PCC, she did a live coaching session for a mentor coaching demonstration given by Meg Mann MCC. Turns out the session was masterful so the mentoring was really at the finessing level, which was really interesting. I offered to edit the session out so Tara could use it as one of her ICF submissions. She did so and it passed.
Coaching Scenario: Tara is a leadership & top teams coach and she brought her client Veronica who is not in the coaching profession to the call to be coached.
Coaching Topic: Veronica wants to explore her re awakening desire to study again and the underlying reasons as to why she’s tempted to study. Is it something she’s really yearning for and a good idea or is it just a fanciful idea that she will get soon become disenchanted with?

“Meg was so supportive, acknowledging and encouraging. She provided such refined and nuanced insights”
“DYNAMITE!!”
“The simplicity, prioritizing space for the client’s awareness, the high awareness of the client’s voice/energy.”
“To get agreement by fully exploring what the client really wants. This exploration is coaching. If I do this well, other competencies will fall into place.”
“Really liked the coaching demonstration—thought it was masterful. The mentor coaching following was icing on the cake!”
“I really appreciated Meg’s debrief of the client - taking the time to go deeper with her.”
“another example of coaching with competencies in mind”
“How valuable and important mentoring is. It can help you see things you were unaware of- shed new insights, take you deeper into your understanding or just help you to finesse the coaching!”
“Inspired by masterful mentoring”
“I liked the way Meg spent more time with the client, exploring her experience more deeply.”
” Right off the bat, I liked how Meg set up the session for Tara, it’s amazing how that one little step right at the beginning of a mentor call, can provide centering, presence, and ease stress/pressure off the coach.
Executive, Leadership & Resilience, Wellbeing Coach and Mentor Coach Bonuses: additional 30 minutes for more Q&A, a copy of the transcript and a copy of the examiners feedback
Different kind of MMC call!
On this call Lesley allowed us to hear one of her coaching sessions that passed the ICF MCC exam! She then debriefed, reviewed the examiner's report and feedback and answered our questions!
Coaching Scenario: Lesley and the client knew each other from a coach training but this was the first time they coached together.
Coaching Topic: Lindsay was offered a wonderful opportunity to give one of her nutrition and wellness programs. But its abroad and she will have to gone for an extended period of time. It has really upset her daughter and she feels panicky about her mother going. While Lindsay really wants to take the offer and essentially said yes, she is concerned about her daughter. She can see the pros and cons and keeps going round in a circle and would like to gain some clarity around what’s best.

Excellence in drawing and applying insight. Incredible questions!!!
Great how much was covered in a short period of time.
“I got a big smile on my face” (client comment) a moment any coach would look for and relish.
A fabulous call! loved it!
This was an excellent example of being relaxed and trusting the client knows.
Leslie’s presence of being powerfully there, listening without much interference of her talking and her asking poignant questions to move ahead.
Once again, I am struck by how little the coach has to say for the client to make a transformation.
Pure and simple.
It's important to really understand the competencies. Mastery happens with practice, practice, practice, and presence, presence, presence.
Talk less and just ask the questions with some reflection.
This call was a beautiful demonstration of presence and how to create an environment of trust and safety.
To “love my clients”
I appreciated the coach’s ability to reflect back to the client her own words in a way that brought the client to a place of further exploration, insight, clarity.
The degree to which we can be fully there for someone is like a tuning fork.
Leadership, Mentor & Coaching Supervision Bonuses: Additional 30 minutes of Q&A and a review of the examiner's scoring and feedback

What a beautiful session! Loved the playfulness and trust.
These MCC test recordings are particularly helpful. Though, I do like both formats. Thank you!!! Wonderful that Frances shared her outcomes as well.
The discussion around asking permission was really interesting.
Great questioning, loved the dance!
To continue to sharpen my saw--to hone my skills. To let go of any need to ask the perfect question and instead rely on my intuition, trust of the process, of my client, and of our shared partnership.
How Mary Anna did not give any emotional response. She just said “Okay…” She remained calm. She really trusted her client and the process and did not feel rushed about getting where her client wanted to be by the end. She just asked the next simple and poignant question.
Absolutely scrub your ego out of it.
I don’t have to ask for permission to share a story that might be helpful. Just tell the essence of the story.
Beautiful example of MCC coaching. I also appreciated the explanation around the assessment of Mary Anna
I really appreciate her humility.
The question “What is the feeling of “sweating palms telling you?” and “Where will you be with this when we finish?”
The power of the coach as a witness and holding space for challenging exploration
Shorter questions, longer silences
Going deep into discomfort where appropriate without worrying about the action step
The questions she asked - I want to use many of them. They are very effective.
Helpful discussion related to preparation for MCC exam.
Interesting to learn about the difference in perspective at the MCC level- with increased trust between coach and client.
Master Certified Executive, Leadership, Mentor & Coach Supervisor Bonus: Additional 30 minutes of debriefing and Q&A
This is a different kind of MMC call
On this call Ebru is allowing us to hear one of her coaching sessions that passed the ICF MCC exam! She will then be debriefing, sharing her mentor's feedback of the session, and answering our questions!
Coaching Scenario: The client is a new coach. Ebru was one of her coach trainers 2 years ago. She also mentor coached her during her ACC accreditation process. This was their first coaching session and it was recorded last year before Lucy kicked off her accreditation prep.
Coaching Topic: She is in a delimma over a long term friendship. She doesnt like that she judges her for the way she has handled her past relationships but doesnt know how not to. She feels this person is taking up too much space in her life and there is resentment.

Some of the participant take-aways:
She confirmed what it is to be MCC.
Tremendous example of powerful questions, one after another!
Deep transformation can take place with presence; lots of time not not required.
I loved everything about this call, Ebru is such a master, I am so impressed. I liked her presence, the simplicity of the language, the powerful questions, I loved it all. So much growth and transformation in the client in one session!
I liked how the coach always focused on "the being", and did not get sucked into the clients relationship story, despite the client sharing "the story".
Was such a beautiful demonstration of the power of presence.
loved the distinction between MCC and PCC coaching at the end. Very clear!
Thank you so much for creating these learning opportunities. I appreciate these calls so much and find them so helpful as I work on my own coaching mastery from PCC to MCC.
Connecting the client's values to the coaching can be transformative.
I generally ask what the client has learned about themself toward the end of the call. I liked the alternative question Ebru used: What would you like to acknowledge in yourself?
I loved the way Ebru was so creative in exploring the areas to include in the coaching agreement. Rather than launching into the coaching conversation after the 2nd point raised by the client.
I was intrigued by Ebru's questions evoking awareness of the client's outlook re/ judgment, resentment and changing her perspectives.

Some participant take-aways:
My readiness for getting my MCC and how helpful it is to hear masterful coaches in action to support this process
WOW. This back-to-back experience was interesting. I was very impressed by all three coaches using their intuition in knowing not to let the client retell her story that she has told herself for many years; with the intention to keep her moving/looking forward, instead of talking about the barriers (which is what she kept going back to). I also really appreciated all the acknowledgment of the client that the coaches gave her. I felt like she really needed that, being that she was experiencing such grief.
I loved the creativity in the coaches’ intervention. We learned so much about the client in such a short time. Use of silence when the client says I don’t know.
The potential of using the technique of 3 coaches for one client session. Great tool to use in teaching and mentoring coaches on how to stay focused and present while capitalizing on creativity and spontaneity.
The tag team coaching was amazing. All three coaches were excellent.
Being present for your client is of the utmost importance. Allowing them to know and understand you are there for them.
Expanded possibilities about what “masterful coaching” sounds like.
Respectfully pausing a client when they are retelling an old story or getting into the details helps build awareness in service of what the client really wants.
Hearing the depth of emotion underlying the client’s desire and going there skillfully with the coaching.
I appreciate being able to hear 3 MCCs in one and I especially appreciated their reflections after the call regarding what they chose not to delve in to given the allotted time as well as the perspective about when/how to interrupt the client when they are repeating or getting in to details.
Focusing on strengths when the client keeps going back to self criticism and having the client move to empowerment.
The transition between coaches was quite smooth. I was wondering how it would work, but it came off masterly.
Establishing quick rapport and ease of making client free to disclose
To allow space,
Also found it interesting how seamless the 3 coaches worked together.
Inspired by Joy + inspiration to coach “seniors”

Some participant take-aways:
Love the trio concept. It’s great to see coaches involved in the dance with one another, blending and holding space for clients in unique ways.
How much can be accomplished in just 10 minutes with true coaching presence! It’s a powerful and rare skill.
Importance of minding the client’s need for the spiritual. It’s really “both... and...”; in addressing these needs.
Integration of vision and action, spiritual with tactical planning, being and doing. How seamless it can be when we are in Coaching Presence
More concrete agreement and getting to underlying issue (beyond obvious request of next steps and defined plan), and not going to action planning until awareness is fully anchored.
Understanding there’s no “right” path. Find out the client’s language, match it and join in his/her conversation and see what unfolds. Absolutely love this!
To bring an all encompassing presence to coaching. Also, Ben continually acknowledged the client and did it so easily. I want to be able to do that.
This session hit the “core” of my being. It reminded me to follow the flow and also adjust my language to the clients.
My spiritual/intuitive nature is very strong, yet I am aware of language I use to meet my client where they are at and be as present as I can. Loved the richness of this:-).
Very valuable time spent! Thank you! Learned from each of the 3.
The comment about NOT coaching presence, just presence period.
The entering into the flow of the client’s river - just joining with them. Always deeper into trusting the client & looking what’s underneath of what they are asking.
Thank you Gail! I’m so thankful for what you have created. 3 coaches in 1 and so much value in the bonus round, thank you!
I loved hearing their language and how smoothly they transitioned. What an amazing feat, thank you so much for setting this up.
The ability to let someone find their path via giving them a forum for their own voice

Some participant take-aways:
They were all so different and equally excellent. Much to take-away!
I really enjoyed listening to all of the coaches with their unique style
Loved to hear that you can also think of a coaching session as having a beginning, middle and end. I never thought about it that way--this will give me better structure.
Really interesting watching the session develop
Love the concept of “lean back”--allow the client more space and time.
To remember that the situation is only the backdrop to the person. To acknowledge the situation but focus on the person and the inner work that can be done to open to a new awareness of who and how the person wants to be.
Loved the discussion around creating agreements--what each of the coaches brought to the discussion.
Listening to the three parts of the coaching conversation executed by three different coaches was a powerful reminder about how important and different each part of the coaching conversation is.
Good insights about diversity of coaching and approaches
The power of co-creativity and intuition in the “second part” and the value of operationalizing the “third part”.
Issue of race in coaching

I’ll be making sure my questions are truly open-ended and that I’m not leading the client in any way.
I loved the way Lynn set up the call in the beginning; she went deep, clarified and explored the agenda really quickly, it took it to another level. I also like that she explored all the possible options of where the session could go. I’m also taking away Lynn’s soft, yet strong/confident presence, and use of/paraphrasing of the clients own words, because of that it felt like she tracked well with the client.
I need to become more aware of my coaching patterns that may not be supporting the client.
Opened my eyes to the nuances as well, really interesting and would love to hear more!
I found Fran’s very specific constructive feedback followed then by how it might have been done differently unbelievably helpful.
Great examples of how not to lead the client.
Questions to ask that invite the client to do the work.
Wow Gail I got so much that I can implement right away. Helped me see where I need and want to grow.
Fran’s specificity helped me see very clearly what it is in my own coaching I need to work on. Watch out for those leading questions and acknowledging sounds or comments!
I found Lynn to be very present with her client and I felt the connection. I appreciated the way she checked in with the client and would repeatedly reflect back what she was hearing.
I will transcribe that entire debriefing.
Must always confirm with the client re my observations otherwise makes client feel that I’m right or that I think I am!
I’ll be making sure my questions are truly open-ended and that I’m not leading the client in any way.
Feel like I got a peek behind the scenes, the inner workings so to speak. I have a page full of takeaways.

Hayden Lee MCC
Executive Life, Leadership & Mentor Coach
This was a different kind of call! On this call we heard an MCC mentoring session. We listened to a colleague's coaching session and Hayden mentored her live. That was followed by a debriefing and Q&A with Hayden and the coach.
Coaching Scenario: This was a new client for Nancy and their first session. They met about a year prior at the college where Nancy also coaches.
Coaching Topic: The client wants to feel confident in standing her ground.
Mentoring Scenario: Hayden and Nancy met for the 1st time on the call and Hayden heard the session for the 1st time on the call.

Let’s have more of these sessions where we hear a mentor coach giving feedback on a coach’s coaching. This session was pure gold!
Reminding myself that my role is to serve my client--not please my client. To call out patterns that are taking the conversation away from the agenda
Beautiful mentoring and excellent tips on what could be done differently.
This call was phenomenal! Took lots of notes. Will use when coaching.
That as coaches we need to dig deeper within ourselves--what changes do we need to make within ourselves to take our coaching to the next level.
Hayden Lee evoked awareness for the client
To go deeper when setting the agenda--exploring what’s important about addressing the client’s item agenda. To ask what needs to change within the client to accomplish the desired outcome.
I particularly liked the attention at completing the coaching session and the questions about takeaways that generated actions for the client.
Hayden shared many helpful coaching approaches/ strategies during the call that were excellent and insightful.
Ask more transformational questions rather than info. Silence, simplicity, reflect what you see in the mirror.
The “bookends” of sessions are so important -- setting the agenda and closing out the session with growth identified and celebrated.
I consider myself an advanced coach and I found this call so helpful for finetuning and going deeper into what might be considered some of the "basics" in order to take them to a more masterful level.
This was a different kind of MMC call. We first heard a PCC coach who is going for her MCC conducting a live coaching session with one her real world clients. We then heard Meg mentor her. As a bonus we had an additional 30 minutes to make sure we had plenty of time to delve in, debrief and get all of our questions answered.
Coaching Scenario: Tara is a leadership & top teams coach and she brought her client Veronica who is not in the coaching profession to the call to be coached.
Coaching Topic: Veronica wants to explore her re awakening desire to study again and the underlying reasons as to why she’s tempted to study. Is it something she’s really yearning for and a good idea or is it just a fanciful idea that she will get soon become disenchanted with?

“Meg was so supportive, acknowledging and encouraging. She provided such refined and nuanced insights”
“DYNAMITE!!”
“The simplicity, prioritizing space for the client’s awareness, the high awareness of the client’s voice/energy.”
“To get agreement by fully exploring what the client really wants. This exploration is coaching. If I do this well, other competencies will fall into place.”
“Really liked the coaching demonstration—thought it was masterful. The mentor coaching following was icing on the cake!”
“I really appreciated Meg’s debrief of the client - taking the time to go deeper with her.”
“another example of coaching with competencies in mind”
“How valuable and important mentoring is. It can help you see things you were unaware of- shed new insights, take you deeper into your understanding or just help you to finesse the coaching!”
“Inspired by masterful mentoring”
“I liked the way Meg spent more time with the client, exploring her experience more deeply.”
” Right off the bat, I liked how Meg set up the session for Tara. , it’s amazing how that one little step right at the beginning of a mentor call, can provide centering, presence, and ease stress/pressure off the coach.
Marilyn O'Hearne MCC
Executive, Leadership, Team & Mentor Master Coach Bonus: Additional 30 minutes for debrief and Q&A
This was a different kind of call. We got to be a "fly on the wall" to Marilyn's private mentor coaching process. We listened to her client's recorded coaching session and to Marilyn stopping it along the way to mentor her and point out and comment on the competencies and the PCC Markers. Afterwards we had a debriefing and Q&A with Liz and Marilyn.
FYI Marilyn is an expert in cultural and relationship bias.

Some of the participant take-aways:
It was really helpful hearing Marilyn go through the competencies and how they relate to the coaching and the PCC markers.
All of the core competencies in action in a coaching session - and having those explained very thoroughly.
I like that Marilyn validated that creating awareness doesn’t have to be with questions, it can be through the body.
Culture can mean relationship dynamics with a client.
I appreciated this call in that I was able to see a fellow coach use embodiment and somatic experiencing in their coaching session/practice and to see the shift that took place for the client.
Need to get up to speed on understanding how to check in on cultural issues and how to be culturally competent.
First time I’ve listened in on a mentor session. Found it very helpful.
Marilyn expanded my understanding of bias and cultural competence.
Ask myself before each new client or call if I’m coming to the session with any assumptions about that person or the value of their agenda.
Being more consistent in how I structure my sessions
The notion of culturally competent. Had not heard of this but makes sense.
The coaching was brilliant and clarifying the competencies throughout the coaching session was very helpful.
Specifically to incorporate the value of imagining your future self scenario. It is a significant tool I have not incorporated yet in my coaching

What a blend of coaching and mentoring! This mentor coach was fully in service of the client, creating a safe space for them and working in partnership with her, encouraging her participation and leadership throughout the sharing of feedback and developmental comments.
Focusing even more on client word choice to open up deep paths.
clearer embodiment of partnering
…something I need to pay attention to in my own coaching: being vigilant that having a comfortable relationship with a client is not blunting my ability to pay attention or pick up on cues that clients are giving us that may need to be noticed and/or revisited …Very interesting comment.
I liked Corey’s conversation about making a deeper more meaningful agreement.
I like Corey’s answer to PCC vs. MCC - that it’s less processing and analyzing and more ease, simplicity, second nature, responsiveness and being present.
Enjoyed hearing a mentoring session evaluate the session. Created a different perspective.
What exactly mentors are looking for to move to MCC
The opportunity to hear mentor feedback was incredibly valuable!
Focus on coaching the person and take time exploring what’s most important. The client will come up with his/her own next steps when there’s laser clarity on what he/she wants to change.
Deep intentional engagement in each moment. Going deeper. Challenging when needed.
MCC feedback was invaluable!
Love the courage of all parties!
Lyssa deHart MCC
Confidence, Narrative, Relationship, Mentor & Coaching Super-Vision
Bonuses: A piece that changes perspective on the "sales" conversation and deep discount on Lyssa's 2 other MMC calls.
This is a different kind of MMC call
Lyssa uses the 3 photos that Joy selected as a jumping off point for the Super-Vision session. You will receive those to look at while listening.
This is #3 coaching demonstration Lyssa has done for MMC! See the other two below.
Coaching scenario: Joy and Lyssa met in 2017 when they came together as presidents of their local ICF chapters and collaborated on an ICF Chapter training. After that they saw each other from time to time on other calls and then last year, Joy participated in Lyssa's Coaching with the power of metaphors certification program.
Coaching topic: Joy wants to know how to listen even more deeply.

Some participant take-aways:
In 20 plus years, I have never heard anyone talk about supervision in this way. Truly a missing piece in our profession or at least an area that is glossed over. Transformational. Deep thanks!
Using photos in coaching
Great session. So grateful for the better understanding of what Coaching Supervision really is. Not at all what I thought it was.
How supportive superVision can be.
Deeper listening skills.
The coach provided a beautiful demonstration of coaching supervision, or as she calls it Super-Vision. As I now understand it, Super-Vision helps build the capacity of the coach through a reflective, explorative, free-form dialogue/process. This is different from mentor coaching which is an analytical assessment of a specific coaching conversation.
To explore Super-Vision. To continue to work on myself from the inside out in order to show up neutral, open, and fully present for my clients.
An invaluable call to action - deepen the being of my coaching with new reflective practice.
One of the best!
Use of imagery as metaphor in coaching supervision.
Excellent session- really valued how the topic for this session broke out into a new area of exploration in coaching! Thanks
Lyssa had a litany of traps that coaches can get themselves into with clients ex. Caring too much about the client, or the client reminds you of your sister etc.
Coaching presence is built upon the ability to listen deeply, with our heart and all of our being.
Supervision is really helpful and should really be mandatory as part of CEU requirements.
Reminder to use imagery, metaphor and other non-thinking prompts for self and for clients
The perception of “Who we are is how we coach”. Making sure that my personality/biases/opinions etc are taken out of the coaching conversation.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________ Bonus: Additional 30 minutes of discussion and Q&A
CALL #1 Coaching Scenario: The client is not in the coaching profession, she has never been coached before and this is the first time that she and Lyssa have ever met or spoken.
Coaching Topic: "I would like to be coached on how to fully embrace an abundant mindset. I find my old programs sneak up on me despite how much I have learned about the Law of Attraction. I am ready to leave my self-limiting beliefs behind so I can take my health and wellness website to the next level!"

Some of the participant take-aways:
This was one of the best and most valuable sessions I’ve listened to.
Loved the discussion about weaving several competencies into the conversation through a “most useful question”
To be aware of any “looping” by a client that could be a red flag indicating the need for therapy.
I am definitely going to listen to this call again!
I particularly appreciated Lyssa’s observations about situational rabbit holes and differentiating between asking interesting questions that might take them backward vs asking important questions that take the client forward.
Great questions I tend to ask, but not as efficiently worded. And, the metaphor of jumping in the pool together holding hands.
Mastery doesn’t have to take long if you’re willing to put discipline and rigorousness into your preparation
Lots of great tips for preparing for MCC, asking for permission, keeping on track throughout the call with what the client wants
Loved this call so much. Can’t wait to get the recording.
The client was poised on the precipice to have a breakthrough and Lyssa’s exquisite coaching got her there. TRULY Breathtaking in only 30 minutes!
Embodiment of heart and intuition
Wow that was a pleasure to observe; one of my top 5 favorite Moore Master Coaching calls.
Lyssa used so many coaching skills in such a masterful way, if I were to note all the skills, I would be listing all the competencies. Lyssa was so present she picked up on the moments that helped the client connect to her awareness, she simply stayed curious, and the client went deep. Beautiful coaching very impressed.
I’m impressed at how the coach stayed in the coaching framework throughout the call even during the moments when the client brought up the past. Lyssa beautifully weaved those therapeutic moments into future oriented, forward moving powerful questions. I’m looking forward to re-listening to this call.
When coaching someone who has been assigned to coaching and who may not be fully onboard with it, ask “How can we make this useful for you?”
Example of not pursuing unpacking of the past, but rather letting the past go to move on.
CALL #2
Lyssa came back for another call to share the recording of her coaching session that passed the ICF MCC exam plus the examiners feedback.
Bonuses: She gave an additional 30 minutes for debrief, Q&A and to discuss some the examiners feedback as well as a copy of the examiners feedback report.
Coaching scenario: Pam is a long time on-going client of Lyssas- since @2013.
Coaching topic: She's feeling very stuck as to what to do and how to move forward. She loves being alone and wonders if she should stay with her boyfriend who ultimately would like it to be more. She's worried that maybe her pattern and that she will always find an issue and never be able to be fully comimitted to someone.

Some of the participant take-aways:
I thought the coaching was brilliant
Patience, patience, patience. Even when the client says “I don?t know”, keep being curious because they do know!
Loved Lyssa’s style! Her depth of listening and presence to be in the soup with the client and ask only what was necessary to help the client take one step forward at a time!
Exquisite example of how to help a client who is feeling really stuck break through and begin to move forward.
To relax and trust the process-even if the client feels totally stuck, using metaphor and simple questions with slow pacing was enough to help her break into a new space
Ask questions based on what’s important for the benefit of the client rather than for my curiosity
Creating “presence” first as the first communication
Having the client create visuals to describe their focus for the call and/or feelings and then referencing that visual throughout the session.
So many of her methods and ways of being were new and inspiring
How the ICF assessors rated the call
Good examples for the coaches I mentor
How you really have to believe in your client’s wholeness, even when they are going through difficult life experiences.
The multiple check in moments with what the client was physically feeling, and using that as a gauge of her progress.
Building on client metaphors, and getting clarity on what the metaphor means, not to me, but to the client.
The power of metaphor. Loved how the client’s metaphor about the pot could also reflect a coach approach.
Damian Goldvarg MCC
Master Certified Leader, Team & Coach Supervisor Bonus:When Heart Intelligence Meets Conversational Intelligence by Judith E. Glase & Deborah Rozman
This was a different kind of MMC call!
Coaching Scenario: Susan is an executive coach. This is the first time she and Damian have ever met or spoken.
Coaching Supervision Topic: Susan is currently working with leaders in a large national corporation. Although she's been hired to help them navigate culture change she's running into consistent challenges re building a team of people to support the vision, due to constantly changing strategic priorities, unsophisticated hiring and an infatuation with the latest shiny new object to propel into fast growth trajectory.

Some of the participant take-aways:
I could really see the shift in today’s supervisee. She had some enlightening moments...
The value of coaching supervision to improving our coaching capacities.
Reflecting on is there a possibility there is something we have not seen here together, and offering that inquiry to my client to co-create.
I loved- Normative, Formative, Restorative and the summary that Damian gave toward the end of the call.
How to work more intentionally with the coaches I support- and not shy away from Direct Communication and sharing what is there... It is particularly relevant to my work with coaches-- so much so I will be looking into his training.
Process of examining parallel processes in supervision that may mirror what is going on with client. This can be helpful in addressing challenges/impasses in work together.
Understanding of Supervisory Coaching, recognizing potential hazards of failing to self-manage as a coach.
Patience in helping the client to walk through self-reflection.
Asking myself the question: Am I challenging enough with my clients?
Executive, Leadership & Coach Supervisor for this call Special Bonus: the call is extended for an additional 30 minutes to cover the elements below.
This was a different kind of call & an MMC first! 2 MCC coaching sessions for the price of one!
Sam begins by talking to us about coaching supervision, his passion and area of expertise.
Then we hear Sherryl T. Christie coaching one of her real world executive clients
Sam then demonstrates what he talked about and actually supervises Sherryl
Finally there's a Q&A
Coaching Scenario: Mike the client, is an executive and he and Sherryl have been coaching together off and on since 2011. They have been on a bit of a hiatus and so this is the first session theyve had for about 7 months.
Coaching Topic: Mike says his pattern has been to micro manage and take on things that other people arent handling well but knows it’s not sustainable or in the best interest of anyone. He's given an employee a huge project but feels this employee has a similar pathology. The project is not going well and the team is having problems with him. Mike says he’s always been of the mindset “accomplish the mission at any cost” and tends to be a direct bottom line kind of guy. He really wants to know how to approach this differently so that he can help the employee to develop his skillset and grow while also accomplishing the goals of the company.

Super-vision! Love it! Thanks to Sam and Sherryl for this learning experience!
Gratefulness to witness 2 coaching sessions one being supervision of an MCC. Wow!
How, when direct communication is done with the intent of helping the client get back on track, it can be very powerful.
Thank you for integrating supervision and doubling the MCCs, I so appreciate the variety and complexity.
As Sheryl spoke about, I am often ahead of my clients and need to slow down even more.
Great to listen to the coaching session within the supervision context. How do you know when you are a good enough coach?? was an amazing supervision question.
Paying attention to parallel processes in my coaching sessions...i.e. me doing with the client what he/she is doing in his/her life.
Continuing to note my own urges to advise and not coach.
This call was fantastic, thank you! I loved Sam’s introduction to and definition of supervision: in that it helps the beginner and master coach, increase the moments of mastery. Brilliant!
I will forever continue the process of supervision/mentor coaching in order to continue to be my best self, and best coach for my clients.
Loved learning about super-vision and the difference between that and mentor coaching.
How useful it is to have an observer of the observer!
Excellent learning opportunity
When we hope for but don’t see results in a session, we must remember that the client needs time to reflect. The learning and action most often come after the session.
This series of calls is a different kind of MMC experience. And has NEVER BEEN DONE anywhere else before!
Purchase Options:
The package of all 3 calls at a discounted price
Any of the calls individually
How is this series different?
Coaches often discuss amongst themselves the advantages, disadvantages, benefits and challenges of 2 predominant coaching models: the more directive/consultative approach and the straight exploratory/discovery coaching style.
What's missing is the opportunity to compare both styles to each other with the same coach, the same client and the same issue.
This Grand Trine Coaching Experience did just that!
What you will hear:
Coaching sessions with the same 2 clients on each call using the two different coaching models
A delving into each client's experience of the 2 models and their results
Debriefings and Q&A's with the Master Coach
What's the set up for the 3 calls:
One Master Coach: Ben Dooley MCC, CPCC
Two clients: Neither is in the coaching profession. One has never had coaching and the other has only had marketing coaching before. They both met Ben for the first time on the first call.
Ben coached the 2 clients using the directive/consultative style of coaching with one and the straight/exploratory with the other.
Afterward each session and the client hung up, there was a debrief and Q&A with Ben
Then there was a bonus debriefing and Q&A with Ben

"Loved that Ben could change from Directive to Exploratory on a dime and that he brought a great energy and compassion to both clients and brought out their self belief and confidence in themselves."
"There is something about Ben that I just love. He is light, and fun, and gets the business of coaching done."
"Interesting conversations regarding the difference between being directive and being exploratory. And most importantly just BEING."
"Excited for the switch in the coming weeks, and the follow up with the clients to see which resonated and motivated them."
"This call was really marvelous on so many levels."
Very excited for round 2! Looking forward to hearing how the clients work through their "homework" on their topics.
Ben followed up with the clients, checking in and continuing to coach each on their issue. This time he switched giving the clients the chance to experience the other model.
After each client hung up there was a debrief/Q&A with Ben

"Hearing the stark differences between the exploratory and directive coaching processes was an education by itself."
"How sharing information that can deepen awareness is not advice, nor is it telling the client what to do."
"I love how fast (whether using directive or exploratory) Ben connects the dots for his clients."
"What you offer (through these calls) adds in making the profession of coaching fun for me."
"The discussion in overtime about MCC credential and personal goal or desire was exceptionally refreshing!"
"Clearer distinctions between exploratory coaching and directive ooaching, and that both can be used in service to the client."
Ben did a coaching debrief with both clients with a check in, exploring the discovery, learning, value, accomplishment, etc. and helped to deepen and anchor their insights and discoveries.
We then further explored with the clients the differences in the 2 styles of coaching, how they experienced them, what resonated and what didnt, etc. What came from this was very surprising!
We then had our final debriefing, Q&A and wrap up with Ben.

"I plan to be extra aware of my choice of words and sharpen level 3 listening."
"Call/coach provided many practical suggestions for holding more effective coaching options."
"The whole series is incredible with Ben, but today was exponentially more so. It's the discussion afterwards on the nature of coaching."

P.S. World renowned Master Coach, trainer and best-selling author Dr. Marcia Reynolds MCC is a big fan of Tony's Coaching Without Models. She actually mentioned it in her WBECS 2021 pre-summit class and urged coaches to ask Tony about it. Finally,we were able to do just that!
Some of the PARTICIPANT'S FEEDBACK:
“Like Amy (PCC coach on the call), I too was blown away between the inputs from Tony, his explanation of his process and his rationale for his moves and then with Fran’s exquisite deployment of the science and art of MCC coaching. It was an incredible medley. Like Amy I would relish more of these kinds of deconstructions. It really was food for my soul and dare I say subconscious. I learnt so much from this recording and analysis of Tony’s transcript.” ~ Tara Nolan MCC, Executive & Top Teams Coach
"This special call was really great. Loved every aspect of it. Thank you for always bringing us the best of the world of coaching." ~ Tina Muheim ACC, Executive, Leadership & Career Coach
"The session exceeded my expectations. This is the first time that I have heard a session that described listening at a more granular level, including what to look for as opportunities to ask questions. Would love more sessions like this. Even as a beginner, this information is so useful as I strive for excellency." ~ Pamela Taylor CPC, Retirement Coach
"I hung on every word that both Tony and Fran said. I wanted more. I love getting advice that I can grab a hold of. Listening for key words was so helpful." ~ Paula Freeman PCC, Life Coach
So enjoy thishistory making masterful deep dive times two!

Linda Anderson MCC
Master Certified ADHD Coach Bonuses: additional 20 minutes of Q&A and pdf Values: Your North Star and Guidepost
Coaching Scenario: This client is not in the coaching profession, she has never been coached before and this is the first time that she and Linda have ever met or spoken.
Coaching Topic: "I own my own consulting business helping small nonprofits and have been successful. I have a tendency to procrastinate, but in the past few months it has been to the point of losing the client because it takes me so long to send a proposal. I would love to receive coaching on how to not feel overwhelmed, stay on task and not feel like an imposter."

Some of the participant take-aways:
I really like when Linda asked Christina to be an “objective observer” of her thinking
I appreciated when she talked about how the ADHD brain works, and her normalizing the client, that it’s not who you are, it’s the traits of the brain. And the advice about being kind to yourself. She had a very kind, caring, and supportive demeanor. And she helped the client to visualize what she needs to put into place in order to achieve her goal.
I really liked the idea of containment - what are the boundaries I need to hold to for the container I provide for my clients?
Working the competencies to maximize impact for clients who have attention span challenges
Don’t be afraid to step outside the box (move from strict coaching to a bit of education/more pointed questions) to really help the client focus
Fabulous call. I think too often we, as coaches, can hamper our clients from getting what they needs if we stick religiously to ICF guidelines. If Linda had just asked questions and not shared her knowledge about how the brain works, the client would have not have made nearly as much progress.
I appreciated the suggestion that coaches learn how different brains work. Also, the suggestions about how to phrase a conversation regarding a potential referral.
To continue to get better at drilling down--assisting a client to name what’s wanted by the end of the session.
Linda’s sense of calm and her slow pace with pauses was wonderful to experience. As a coach I sometimes end up mimicking the frenzy and excitement of my ADHD client, so it was good to hear how she set the tone of consistent tranquility.
Coaching Scenario: The client is not in the coaching profession and this is the first time that she and Barbara have ever met or spoken.
Coaching Topic: "I'm an artist, author and creative catalyst. Ioften start things and don't finish them - I know I have sabotaged my success in many ways due to difficulty focusing, too many ideas, feeling spacey etc! The topic I would like to be coached on is: how to set up systems that will work for me so I can follow through on my numerous ideas/projects floating around in my head. Being a super duper creative right brained person means the systems have to be colorful and easy for me to follow."

"The Barbara Luther call was phenomenal. She immediately heard beneath the client's stated agenda and gently unpeeled the layers of the onion to reveal the core of the matter and the client's wisdom. A beautiful example of coaching at its very finest!
Thank-you, Gail! I'm so glad to have discovered MMC and to have access to hearing coaches at the top of our profession."~Sally Ward, PCC, CPCC Ward Leadership
"The call today was extremely helpful to me. For me it was an example of really being present to the client and getting over there with the client and allowing them to discover their brilliance. It was also really helpful for me as I am working in a business relationship with a coach who recognizes that she has some ADD traits."~D. Petersen, BCC - Coaching for Well Being
"I enjoyed listening to the call with Barbara Luther. I noticed how Barbara shared information and then very quickly returned power to the client, without needing to resort to being overly directive. It worked beautifully. She kept the integrity of the partnership, kept the client moving forward, and maximized the efficiency of the call. It was excellent session management. Her information about ADD seemed to be well-founded and truly useful to the client. She did all this with ease and good humor. A lovely experience. Thank you." ~Bobbie Burdett, BCC, PCC (applicant), Director of Training HealthWorld Online, www.authenticoach.com
"Thank you to you Gail and to Barbara for choosing me for this teleseminar. I really enjoyed the session and have a few wonderful take aways to use in my toolkit. I sure appreciate it!" ~Violette- the client on the call
Diane McLean M.Ed, MCC
ADHD, Kid, Life & Mentor Coach "I empower uniquely wired kids and the adults in their lives."
MMC Different Kind of Call
And a first ever for coaches!
We heard segments of coaching sessions with one of Diane's 12-year-old clients with ADHD! Diane discussed how the competencies were applied and how its relevant regardless of who the client is. It was especially fascinating to hear a 12-year-old being coached and Diane’s specialty of tuning into a client's unique way of perceiving and learning-- to be able to do that with our clients is so important for all of us.
Diane gave us a bonus 30 minutes in order to have plenty of time as well as a copy of her webinar "The 5 Languages of Kids".

Some of the participant take-aways:
I loved the way Diane used play, helped the child envision a task successfully completed, and used acknowledgement to create awareness. Thank-you for a truly out-of-the-box experience!
Ways to work with clients whose brains are wired differently.
It was great to get this exposure to a different area of coaching!
Wow! Getting to hear a 12-year-old spitfire with ADHD being coached felt like such an honor. Witnessing Diane helping this "child" tap into her inner wisdom, was very moving and inspiring for me.
Interactivity to make coaching an active process
Ways to engage a new client who has some ADHD symptoms (undiagnosed)
I found the tools powerful for teaching, parenting and coaching.
Having more compassion for where people are
Coaching with kids. What a wonderful niche!
Overview of adjusting coaching approach/competencies for kids: using repetition, play, interactivity and hands-on work. Helping kids leverage their strengths in addressing challenges.
Refocus on paraphrasing what I've heard the client say
Any age group can benefit from coaching. Excellent examples as well for teachers and parenting
What a fascinating call! It was so clear in hearing McKinna that my daughter, who was not diagnosed with ADHD until her college years, had it all along.
Master Certified Youth/Student & ADD/ADHD Special Bonus: additional 15 minutes of discussion and Q&A on student coaching and an article she wrote “The fundamentals of coaching students”
Coaching Scenario: The client is not in the coaching profession. She has had a bit of coaching in the past but this is the first time that she and Jodi have ever met or spoken.
Coaching Topic:As an executive with self diagnosed adhd, she has real difficulties with organizational management, especially with paper. She's great with the gift of gab, can get deals done but when it comes to working with the details she falls short and it causes her a lot of angst. Learning new computer programs is very hard for her. She also has a tendency to start things at the last minute which is very stressful but feels she needs that adrenaline to get it done. She would like a kind and loving way to encourage/teach herself to do things differently so as to create less anxiety and stress. Perhaps some strategies that would help.

Some of the particpants take-aways:
“Thanks for a wonderful, inspiring call!”
“I think this was my favorite MMC coaching session. I loved everything about it. I admire Jodi for her many years of experience, being a leader in the profession and more specifically creating a program for people (and especially youth) with ADHD. I could hear her passion for her nitch, and her desire to train others and share what she has learned for the good of others and ultimately the society as a whole.”
“Jodi had a beautiful calm, supportive sense of presence. She normalized the clients feelings as it relates to ADHD, and shared some knowledge with the client which gave her a sense of ease”
“Grateful for the opportunity to hear a master coach “dance in the moment”- wonderful use of reflecting back the client’s words, metaphors, acknowledgments and normalizing ADHD”
“I was moved by the turnaround in the client’s confidence when Jodi reminded her of her many successes. It truly changed her belief system and what she could do.”
“To keep a check on my whole person when coaching another. Self-manage, stay present, relax my mind and body (pay attention to body posture when coaching), stay centered, focus on the client’s agenda, tap into intuition.”
“It was really inspiring to be reminded that silence is very powerful.”
Margie Gordillo MCC
Master Certified Ancient Wisdom Leadership Coach
Coaching Scenario:Margie brought one of her former clients to the call. They had not spoken for a couple of years.
Coaching Topic: This client is very successful in the business she has created and been running for years but wants to know how to “explode” into the next iteration of her life, herself and her work. It all feels very scary with all the changes it will require and she worries that the new work will not be accepted by society.

Some of the participant take-aways:
This session was a lesson in courage and authenticity: I think both must be present in each and every coaching session: Today's call masterfully modeled this blend.
Perhaps more than many other calls, this session demonstrated the power of coach presence
Coaching presence with the client is what will allow me to take risk in service of the client.
Despite the client's repeated stories, Margie never wavered in her absolute belief in the client's greatness.
The reminder again, that it's not about performing for the client. It's about being present. The reminder to use the clients own words/phrasing when revisiting the agreement established in the beginning--as a way to move toward action.
Ability to confront client with what you know is not the case - challenging the client's responses.
How a skilled coach can truly help others create breakthroughs in 30 minutes!
"The energy and excitement of making it tangible"
The warm relaxed style of Margie even while she was using direct communication
Good use of intuition and direct communication early on, then acknowledgment when the energy shifted.

Some of the participant take-aways:
This was a pleasure and a gift opportunity to hear a different style of MCC coaching.
A fabulous coaching session. The Q and A afterwards was especially rewarding.
As so often is the case, simplicity.
Loved the tips around why, what if, and how. Also the tip about getting related when first meeting the client for a session.
How much can be accomplished in a short time!
I loved hearing a male coach. There's definitely a different vibe and it was interesting to observe it.
I enjoyed listening to Ken talk about assessments he uses & recommended books.
Holding the questions in mind: Why this topic and Why now?
Getting to the "who" of the client is. That was insightful to get the client to that point.
How to reflect back to the client that shows the client a new perspective - using metaphors like the ship has left the dock - helping the client see he had already decided.
Great time getting to know the client before establishing the agreement for the session... good demonstration of competencies: trust and intimacy (tone, energy); reframe/clarificication - direct communication; Powerful questions; awareness (metaphor, etc)
Lyn Allen, MCC
Master Certified Life, Business & Mentor Coach Special Bonus: An audio Lyn created and personalized to meet the specific needs and desires of the MMC particpants
Coaching Scenario: The client is not in the coaching profession. And this was the first time that he in and Lyn had ever met or spoken.
Coaching Topic: One of the greatest benefits of these calls is that they are in real time, there is no do over or editing. It makes it very exciting because you never know what's going to happen. Kind of like real life!
The client on this call was specifically chosen among other submissions for the coaching issue he originally submitted. But then on the call unbeknownst to any of us completely changed his topic. Being the master she is, this of course made no difference to Lyn. And as it turned out, the issue he wanted assistance with is something that many clients deal with:
How to take care of himself and his needs without hurting, offending or letting others down.

Two participants had this to say on the call:
"Lyn I loved how in process you were in formulating your questions and truly dancing with the client, taking the time to get clear about the articulation of what was surfacing for you"
"The intuition & the self-acceptance that Lyn demonstrated in her own coaching, listening to her say “no that's not it… oh here it is”- that just fascinated me. And that's really what I’m wanting in my own coaching -to be fully present, listening to my own instincts instead of thinking there is some right way to do it."
Dave Buck, MCC
Master Certified Business & Leadership Coach Bonuses: 1. A detailed introduction to Coachville's Inner Freedom Method that Dave demonstrated with his client on the call. 2. PDF of 2 articles on how to get unstuck and make the right decision.

Some of the participant take-aways:
The beauty and value of pure coaching!
Loved the dance, trust, rapport and questioning style leading to breakthroughs.
I found the bonus time about business building extremely helpful
I loved how much was covered during the session. It probably helped that the client was a coach, but the whole process was handled masterfully.
The ease in which the coaching conversation happened.
My takeaway from observing this coaching session was how Karen stayed so true to a pure and simple coaching framework. It was very light with some laughter, yet very effective; there was a nice connection between coach and client. She got very clear on the agenda, used the clients language, asked the client to clarify what some of the language meant to her (like “intention” and “what Go looks like”), and she acknowledged the clients awareness and strengths.
To stay with clients through presence, active listening, and powerful questions and thus, avoiding my own agenda. To trust the clients will get to where they need to go.
This call definitely helped me grow as a coach!
Karen did a wonderful job of being lighthearted with the client and picking up on the subtleties of Lori’s response to determine the next question she would ask.

Chrissy is passionate about working with clients who dare to have big dreams and "who are driven by the compelling vision to make this world a better place." And this describes the former NFL player/client on this call.
One of the participants had this to say to Chrissy on the call:
"You did a beautiful job of pulling the client from his little "a" agenda- wanting to run out and do the next three things on his list and know what they are. Boy a lot of coaches could have just jumped right in there and gotten right to work but you very deftly asked if it might be worthwhile to go back and visit his vision. Just such the right move and that was where the big "A" agenda emerged."
Philip Cohen MCC
Master Certified Business & Entrepreneur Coach Bonuses: Philips Consumers Guide to Choosing a Mastermind Group and ebook coauthored with his wife Laura Hess MCC- It's Not the Bears that Will Get You Its the Bugs Eliminate What's Bugging You: Focus on Success
Coaching Scenario: The client is not in the coaching profession. She has been coached in the past but this is the first time that she and Philip have ever met or spoken.
Coaching Topic: I am a doctor and business owner but have been struggling over the past year on my "why." This resistance has caused me to drift I think from my passion but I am not 100% sure on what my purpose really is and where I should focus my talents.

Some of the participant take-aways:
"This coach demonstrated powerful presence with this client. You could hear how closely he was tracking her and how deeply he was listening."
"Clients know what they need. When coaches stay present, in service of the client and asking powerful questions clients open to their deeper knowing."
"I loved listening to Phillip coach Ellie. I admire how he follows his intuition and his hunches and then asked clarifying questions to get more information on what’s really going on for the client. He listened carefully (active listening) to her, to what was said and not said. He picked up on her use of the word ‘permission” and followed it to and all that it revealed for her, without her even realizing she used that word."
"Getting to topic quickly when there is a menu of topics, powerful questioning to have the client lead where the session is going, repeatedly clarifying and taking a new topic on if indicated by client as priority."
"Loved what Philip said about the ICF competencies--that the best coaches integrate the competencies into their lives. The competencies are reflected in how they live their lives."
"To never assume that the client and myself hold the same meaning for a particular word. To listen for the client’s use of words and to check in regarding the client’s definition of words. Also, to continue to check in with the client regarding the coaching agreement."
" I liked his comment on understanding learning styles to really be there with the clientas well as integrating the competencies into who you are personally."
"Q and A was most valuable!"
"Establish norms for coaching and their interaction together."
"Keep it simple. Define language in their own words."
Judy Feld, MCC
Master Certified Executive & Professional Coach
Co-Author of Smart Match Alliances Bonus: Judy's5000 word article "Baby Boomers Escape Your Bubble"
Coaching Scenario: The client is not a coach and this was the first time she and Judy had ever met or spoken.
Coaching Topic: "I'm a Baby Boomer in life transition. I was married to a fairly successful man. I raised children and intermittently, had some great jobs, but my resume is spotty. After 40 years, the marriage has dissolved, dividing my nest egg in half, the stock market fell, dividing it in half again. Most of my friends are on on cruises, are winding down their lives, and cannot imagine going back to work. I've heard the job market is rough - and they are right - it's a jungle out there. Age discrimination is alive and well also. I believe I'm at a fork in the road (perhaps with several tines). I'm treading water with a tad bit of panic. I'm an excellent swimmer - if I can lay the panic aside and start some forward motion."
Purchase MP3-$59.97
One of the participants during the Q&A said to Judy:
"I think your coaching today was probably the best example Ive heard of a Master Coach. Of all the sessions Ive listened to through the ICF and Gail Moore, it was just masterfully done. I thought it was a fabulous call!"~Kay Cross, M.Ed, ACC, Cross Coaching & Wellness, www.kaycross.com

We can receive up to 2 months of coaching, 4 hours a month for $500 a month versus her regular rate of $1000.

Coaching Scenario: The client is not in the coaching profession, has never been coached before and this is the first time that she and Kathy have met or spoken.
Coaching Topic: "Since my divorce and losing my job (2008-09) I have been trying to "make it" in my new career: entertainment marketing. The agency/network gigs I've gotten have been underpaying and abusive. The freelance work is sparse and pays even less. The truth of the matter is, I have no idea what to do with myself; I see the end result that I want, but I have no idea how to get there. Is it Im blind to opportunity because of my mindset or am I making bad choices? I'm super qualified, I want to figure out what I'm doing that's keeping me playing small."

The client had this to say about the session with Kathy: "I didn't know what to expect, or what we would be able to accomplish in the time allotted. I am blown away by the realization that all this time I've been… Helping me to recognize that without being judged and without judging myself, Kathy was insightful and supportive, and helped deliver a huge "aha" that I've struggled with for a long time.
I'm extremely grateful to you and Kathy, and just so you know, the first thing I did when I got off the call was to rinse my face with water-it was an emotional revelation! And immediately after that, I called the filmmaker and set a deadline for the next rough cut. Reflecting since this morning's call, I've found (surprise) a few other places where I've…and I realize how it has impacted other aspects of my life.”
Huge, huge breakthrough for me! Thank you again."
One participant had this to say on the call: "I thought that was totally brilliant, I was absolutely riveted. It was just beautiful you were in a dance with her. Being a leadership coach, I have such an appreciation for how you got her into a new perspective and conversation and about this being a leadership moment and she wasn’t even considering it… so you covered an enormous amount of territory in such a short time."
Some of the participant's take-aways: "Letting the client sit with their mess and trusting they will find the answers they need, to just keep being curious."
"That in 30 minutes Kathy masterfully touched on ALL of the ICF core competencies except #10!"
"The benefit of helping the client distinguish between ''being'' and ''doing''.
"The modeling of how patience, acceptance and total respect for where the client is at could lead to a break through."
"The reminder to allow the process to unfold as it/the client wants to. That's another way of saying it's vital to hold the client naturally creative, resourceful and whole. I'm renewing the practice of allowing the client to reveal their truth slowly, if necessary. I don't need to rush it, or force some kind of breakthrough."
Laura Berman Fortgang MCC
Master Certified Personal, Career & Business Coach Special Bonus: Laura's Wisdom Access Questions (WAQ's)- a list of 100 questions to use with our clients

EdTech is such a high demand field right now and I have at least 6 different potential clients or employers recruiting me. I'm not sure how to proceed or how to leave myself enough flexibility to explore options!"
I asked the client the question that Laura requires all potential clients to answer prior to their initial consultation. I sent the answers to Laura. She then reviews the 3 answers with the client during the session and uses them to show her just how beneficial coaching will be.

Coaching Scenario: The client is a coach and this is the first time that she and Lynn have ever met or spoken.
Coaching Topic: She is retired from Estee Lauder as a top sales person. After graduating from the executive coaching program at NYU, then completing many other coaching courses and workshops as well as for marketing etc she feels overwhelmed and frustrated.

Some of the participant take-aways:
Excellent coaching/consulting combination that is invaluable for those of us who have to do both!
Lynn exuded a powerful coaching presence as a listener and was able to use her expertise masterfully in a coaching context
The coach consistently asked the client to look within, and use what worked for her in the past, and to simplify her future strategy by repeating what works for her, and getting out of her own way.
Loved seeing how the coach was very direct while staying in rapport with the client. I also thought the direct communication helped to facilitate the client’s awareness
To give myself permission to make a strong statement when it feels right--as long as I have rapport with my client and allow the client the same freedom, i.e., to not be attached to how the client responds—it’s okay to say it doesn’t land right or that I’m off base.
Im taking away witnessing total presence, validation, acknowledgement, and direct communication, in addition to insight from being stretched and challenged, and growth from the client.
How to intervene as an “expert” with powerful questions to create openings.

Coaching Topic: The clients intention for the coaching session is to gain clarity on why she gives her power away through indecisiveness in making choices- in regard to her career and relationships. Sometimes she hears inner guidance and refuses to act on it because it’s not what she wants to do but then she feels she loses integrity with herself.

Some of the participant's take-aways:
Both coach and client brought their authentic selves to the coaching conversation. The ease with which they engaged was a demonstration of their high-trust relationship.
Trusting myself and my intuition and putting it out there without explanation or asking permission. The coach modeled great confidence and trust.
I appreciated the conversation around external/internal processors and prep forms. I also like the tip shared by the coach--the fastest way to more masterful coaching is to listen to a recording of my coaching and assess it.
1. Brief questions 2. Gentle Coaching presence 3. Coach the person, not the situation
Allowing spaciousness for the client.
To focus more on the contracting process to ensure clients understand what coaching is and isn’t--including coach and client roles and responsibilities.
The power of using words the client uses.
Building trust in the relationship allows for the coach to be more themselves in the call.
When clients feel fear (like I am afraid I will never be able to sing again), to lean into the fear and not avoid it. The question, what if you couldn’t sing again, was a great question that had the client really feel this fear.
simple, easy, space
More room, slow down (as always), the power of letting the client play around with their awareness.
I think the portion of the call that spoke to suicidal intervention was really interesting.
Giving the client the time and room via the silences to tap into their own brilliance.
Want to learn more about coaching suicide awareness- a valuable skill to have not only for clients but for life in general.
Michael revealing his learning around the affirming noises he made. The way he explained why it’s not beneficial to the client was eye opening, loved it! Will be more watchful in my own coaching.
Relationship & Business
Bonus: A relationship tool Christopher used on the call
Coaching Scenario: The client is not in the coaching profession, she has never been coached before and this is the first time that she and Christopher have ever met or spoken. In fact, Christopher did not even know the coaching issue ahead of time, he didn't want to know and so 3 participating coaches voted & this was the topic of choice.
Coaching Topic: "My husband and I seem to have separate plans and never have a common goal or dream. How do we get together and support each other when our views of how to approach things are so different? The balance of the relationship seems to be one person is up and the other person is down. How to create space for us both to be great?"

“Wow! What a wonderful coaching session that was with Christopher McAuliffe! I have so many learning nuggets that I am taking away it's hard to know which to mention. And his two final pieces of advice around Coaching Presence being soooo important and his question about 'How can each of us make a lasting difference in the world?' I am committed to pondering, as I found them so meaningful.”~ Wendy Fortune, ACC
Veronika Noize
Marketing Coach
Special bonus: Ronnie's Science of Success Audio
Coaching Scenario: This call was run a bit differently - in addition to the full session (with a client that Ronnie had never met or spoken to before) we also got to hear Ronnie have a 5 minute laser session with a different client, (someone she knows but had never coached before).
The topic for the laser session: the client wanted to work on her 10 second elevator speech. The topic for the full session: the client wanted to market her coaching to entrepreneurs as well as businesses who will offer coaching to their employees for helping the company move forward.

Some of the participant take-aways:
The coach’s presence, compassion, active deep listening, curiosity, and consistent acknowledgement of the clients passion and drive.
I especially appreciated the masterful dialogue at the end of the call with Marty. Very Beneficial!!!
Challenging ourselves and our clients by asking “What conversations are you missing or avoiding?”
Better insights on the use of direct communication.
I acknowledge Marty’s point of view that powerful questions and listening as she said “with curiosity”; are the most important points in coaching.
Asking permission to ask powerful questions and not be afraid to ask them.
I loved the question about what would her client want to declare and walking her through the process.
I really picked up on the coach’s “groundedness” she was describing, and that is something I aspire to work on, and achieve with my clients.
The HOW to have a conversation and when is critical as a leader
I got so much from the 5 conversations she talked about in the Q&A
Sue Sheldon, MCC
Executive, Business & Life Coach Special bonus: a wonderful tool/exercise

"Thank you once again Gail for the amazing opportunity you invited me to participate in. Keep up your great work!"~Sue Sheldon, MCC"
Thank you, the call with Sue today was great! I so appreciate what you are doing, this is really amazing as where else do we ever get to hear MCC’s coaching, or anyone coaching for that matter except ourselves? I am very excited about being a subscriber to what you are making available." Ann Farrell, CPCC, PCC Founder and President, Quantum Endeavors®.
Coaching Scenario: Sue didnt want to know anything about the client ahead of time and so did not see her topic. The client is not in the coaching profession, in fact has never been coached before and this was the first time she and Sue had ever met or spoken.
Coaching Topic: "I've recently started a small business and am still working full-time as an elementary teacher. I want to be coached on how to make my vision a reality. I know what I want and I know my business ideas are high value, but it's difficult to go from employee to business owner. The very successful people I know are driven and have laser-sharp focus on their goals. I want to have that same sharpness and live up to my potential."

Some participant take-aways:
The coach clarified with little words which allowed the client to feel heard without too much recapping/paraphrasing done from the coach. I am working on this skill set right now in my sessions. It is a skill that feels challenging at the moment to master. Nice to see it in action; thank you.
Several ways to pull from the client that which she already knows. Powerful affirming throughout the call the client can expand upon. A lot of wonderful concepts for the client to take in...and draw from.
Just affirming that in my business coaching it serves sometimes to be a bit more directive... especially through the power of observations and reflecting.
Consciously using the 3 part questions Sue identified in order to set the contract
What I liked most from this call was all the acknowledgements Sue gave Jennifer. The client struggles with what people will think of her (her success/failure) and to have a lot of positive acknowledgements of who she is (not just what she has done), I think was very important. I also noticed and liked that the coach picked up on the client’s values of contribution and fulfillment.
Assisting a client to move from a long agenda to their main desire for the session
I appreciated how much time the coach spent on setting the agenda and how clear the process was
Intimacy - “into me see” - great reminder to work with client to delve into self-awareness
Networking, Branding & Career Coach

"To use PESH- what a great tool!"

"Don't be afraid to address the obvious, even though it is "scary". It is where the richness is, so I need to be willing to "go for the gold".
"The power of presence. Being able to intuitively go with what surfaces. Self-managing any preconceived ideas around what's needed."
"I had tears in my eyes at several points in this amazing coaching session. It was deeply spiritual and moving."

"Just what I needed to hear! For me this was an example of a more challenging session. And it showed that with listening, exploration and having the courage to change directions as often as needed (of course combined with masterful skills and techniques) you will find that transformational entry point. Talk about a change in perspective, I have gone from dreading this scenario to looking forward to the possibilities- thanks!"~ S.B., Life Coach, Vermont

I asked the client the question that Laura requires all potential clients to answer prior to their initial consultation. I sent the answers to Laura. She then reviews the 3 answers with the client during the session and uses them to show her just how beneficial coaching will be.

Some of the participants take-aways:
Brilliantly done. Beautifully paced, curious, and spacious.
I am taking away how clear and concise the coaching was. There were no extra words, which gave space for the client to process her agenda fully and deeply.
I thought it was a masterful example of how to coach around clients’ feelings/emotions and stay in the coaching frame by asking “what” and “how” questions.
To get better at asking succinct questions. The coach provided a beautiful demonstration of how powerful this can be.
Really appreciated what the coach shared about her journey to becoming an MCC coach.
Her extraordinary coaching presence --she made it look simple and it’s not!
Continually clarifying the agreement throughout the session-we’ve heard this from other MCCs as well.
Loved this call--the client got such a beautiful breakthrough, and it was elegantly done.
Reminder of paying attention to body language and keeping questions simple. I just applied it in a chemistry call :) - simpler questions, stop myself, don’t double up.
I plan to practice acknowledging and highlighting clients “Aha moments” more often by pointing it out just like the Coach did in this session “that sounds like a realization”
Great demo of MCC level coaching with powerful questions and a LOT of space for the client to explore and reflect.
I observed some keen re-contracting, great to check in with client to make sure they will get what they want from the session. Also, good reminder to acknowledge client more throughout the session, not just at the end.
How Sarah was able to be present with her client through each of the stages of the coaching process. Everything flowed seamlessly.
Use of “What is coming up for you?” and other similar questions when I don’t know what to ask next.
Executive Leadership & Career Coach Bonuses: Additional 30 minutes of Q&A and copy of the assessor's report
This is a different kind of MMC call
On this call Emily is allowing us to hear one of her coaching sessions that passed the ICF MCC exam! She then debriefs, shares the examiner's feedback and answers our questions! And she gives us an additional 30 minutes for discussion and Q&A.
Client scenario: This is one of Emily's real life clients who is not in the coaching profession. They coached together on and off for around 2 years.
Client topic: A core issue that’s played out in her professional life that she has made great strides on, is now showing up with her personal passion. She feels stuck, a sense of overwhelm and urgency around creating a blog and workshops etc. around capturing memories and cant figure out what to do first or when to do it.

Some of the participant take-aways:
The call today was exceptional!
This was so effective and felt like a clean version of me. Gives me hope!
Love the way the client drove the session so peacefully, it can be difficult even at the MCC level to let go of our well intentioned agendas
Beautiful at ease MCC coaching - plus deepening my understanding of the MCC
I “loved” what the coach said about leading with love for her clients. That love is one of her strongest values. It showed!
To take more time getting beneath what the client brings to the session to get to the actual agreement. To be better at co-creating an agreement with clients around a pre-session check in form.
To learn about the ICF MCC Qualification Process
This was a great session! It was very interesting to be able to listen to the session and then review the feedback from the ICF assessor’s perspective.
Not looking at the tip of the iceberg but going underneath, looking deeper.
Love these exam review calls as they make me a better assessor and mentor.
It was a very high level call
The importance of trusting the process. Being comfortable with silence, asking powerful questions.
Reminder of how to get to the coaching agreement without my natural curiosity pulling me down a rabbit hole.

Coaching Scenario: He is not in the coaching profession, he has never been coached before and this is the first time he and Sue ever met or spoke.
Coaching Topic: This is what he submitted (but the conversation changed): "I'm half-way through a career transition with one foot in real estate (my original career) and one foot in app development (new career). I tend not to promote myself well and I think it's because I suffer from Impostor Syndrome, the feeling that one is afraud and does not deserve success despite evidence to the contrary. I think that feeling has prevented me from really growing my real estate business and it seems to be holding me back from promoting my 1st app in the iOS app store or promoting myself as an app developer in general."
Some of the participant feedback:
Deep listening is so crucial to good coaching.
The importance of really understanding and defining what the client wants to take away from the call. It is the responsibility of the coach to clarify and make sure both the coachee and the coach understand the language and intent of the coachee in regard to the topic.
Don't hold back, BE with your client, establish the relationship with authenticity and love. Go to the heart of the matter.
As a coach, I want to show up as my own best self. Clients are on their own timeline.
Patience with myself
Importance on setting the agreement and checking back in with client to make sure the call is moving in his/her desired direction

Some of the participant take-aways:
The beauty and value of pure coaching!
Loved the dance, trust, rapport and questioning style leading to breakthroughs.
I found the bonus time about business building extremely helpful
I loved how much was covered during the session. It probably helped that the client was a coach, but the whole process was handled masterfully.
The ease in which the coaching conversation happened.
My takeaway from observing this coaching session was how Karen stayed so true to a pure and simple coaching framework. It was very light with some laughter, yet very effective; there was a nice connection between coach and client. She got very clear on the agenda, used the clients language, asked the client to clarify what some of the language meant to her (like “intention” and “what Go looks like”), and she acknowledged the clients awareness and strengths.
To stay with clients through presence, active listening, and powerful questions and thus, avoiding my own agenda. To trust the clients will get to where they need to go.
This call definitely helped me grow as a coach!
Karen did a wonderful job of being lighthearted with the client and picking up on the subtleties of Lori’s response to determine the next question she would ask.
Judith Cohen MSW, CPCC, MCC
Master Certified Coach's Coach Bonus: PDF of Orchestrating Complexity: Startegies to Thrive
This was a different kind of call and so very fascinating! Due to having cancer treatments years ago Judy was left profoundly deaf.
She talks to us about how being deaf has transformed her listening and hearing. Then we get to hear her demonstrate those skills in a coaching session followed of course by debriefing and Q&A.
Coaching Scenario: The client is a coach. She and Judy met very briefly when we did a test call to check the sound quality a couple of weeks prior. But Judy knows nothing about Donna or what her coaching topic is for the session.
Coaching Topic: There has been a scandal in her spiritual community and she is contemplating how she can best be of service during this challenging time.

Some of the participants take-aways:
My concept of hearing and listening is changed forever. Judy is a tremendous inspiration and has inspired me to explore using all my senses and my other gifts and internal resources. Great call! Thanks.
Judy’s coaching blew me away. I think she has amazing intuition and was able to figure out the underlying issue very fast. Very transformational session.
Listening from the deepest place beyond words yields the big breakthroughs fast!
Don’t make resistance wrong. Brilliant The more I resist the client’s resistance, the stronger it will become. Meet resistance with curiosity and use it to inform your coaching
Judy’s ability to listen at a deeper level is inspiring! I love the term “Felt Experience”The beauty of listening with the group mind--listening for the deep felt experience
Judy’s in depth explanation around using her other senses and trusting in her body (intuition) is a valuable takeway for me that I will continue to practice. Also, how she described knowing when to interrupt a client (clients tone of voice/which part is speaking), was good information for me to practice identifying during my sessions.We can’t let our clients;(or our own) stories usurp the power that lies within each of us. This, for me, was the thing that most resonated, along with the deepening of the 3rd level of listening which Judy has truly perfected.
The power of listening to the energy of the client and then clarifying what the coach has heard.
Interrupting to bring the client present to their strengths and what they are communicating at a deeper level than words, when they are resisting and focused on the negativeDeep coaching that is transformational can happen in 30 minutes or less with a coach that is willing to interrupt and challenge
Listening from the deepest place beyond words yields the big breakthroughs fast!
Marion Franklin MS, MCC, BCC

I absolutely loved this coaching demonstration. I admire Marion’s intuition, ability to be direct, and honor the silence, all while holding the coaching space with such mastery and skill.
This is my first exposure to the use of “themes” in coaching. I will reflect on this and listen for these thematic comments from my clients.
Focus on the person not the plot!
Marion gave us a laser sharp synopsis in 10 minutes of how to be more masterful! She’s a gift to the coaching world.
Listen for themes. Don’t be afraid to be direct.
It was truly inspiring to see that a lot of principles and themes in her book came out live in the session! Thank you so much for creating this wonderful learning opportunity!
Questioning around the all or nothing bias
How much deep work was accomplished in 20 minutes or so
The coaching actually coached Me! I will want to listen to the replay a few times as an observer again as a coach and then as a client.
It was interesting to get a demonstration of “laser focused” coaching by observing the coach work with the client by avoiding getting caught up in the story and instead focusing on the person.
OUTSTANDING!
Barbara McAllister MCC
Master Certified Coach's Coach, Life & Transition Coach Special bonus: “Stop Negative Thinking: Toss Those Thoughts in the Trash” The results of a study done by Dr. Richard E Petty, professor and chair at the department of psychology, Ohio State University

Terrific call-wonderful coach and client relationship. So much was accomplished in 30 minutes. I am envious!
The way Barb lead, but didn’t lead the client!: “Let’s pause to take a breath. I’d like to interrupt you here” And, the way she asked 3 times to get a specific coaching agreement. And, the way she listened super closely and then quickly, smoothly came up with a powerful question.
Keep at getting the coaching agreement. Interrupt sooner. Do it boldly. Keep pointing out the client’s qualities.
The extraordinary gift of presence to help client get shift for themselves
I loved the turning point moment when Barb asked about Jennifer’s relationship with success. (Lucky vs. Success). I think Barb had a hunch, in this moment, and she went for it, by asking a powerful question, and that was the magical moment that shifted the entire session. This is a reminder to me to follow my hunches when they show up with my clients.
Barb must have a genie in her brain because she came out with the MOST insightful questions that really got the client to powerful ah-ha moments!
When clients ask for advice, tell them that coaching is a much more powerful way to help them access the answers they already have inside.
That staying present with what shows up in the call is equally or more important than the contract that is chosen in the beginning.
Don’t step over your client’s successes. Always acknowledge.

Some of the participant's take-aways:
Nice example of a coach helping his client getting out of his head and acting more from the heart.
Very insightful call. I totally enjoyed.
3 steps to analyze your call
The importance of your coaching presence in a coaching call so that “you” don’t get in the way of the coaching.
Taking time between calls to continue to center myself so that I keep my coaching presence
Great coaches are always learning and growing--even MCC level coaches.
I really appreciated Carly Anderson’s Ten Characteristics of an MCC Skill Level Coach. Also Russell’s tips on how to evaluate a MCC call.
good checklist for self-evaluation against ICF competencies
A reminder to not coach the problem but the person and his/her relationship to the problem
The power of silence. The use of metaphors.
Challenging the client through an observation
The agreement was done extremely well.
Having patience, Giving the client plenty of space to work out their thoughts and when to shift the conversation back to a positive direction if going south.
Excellent session.
Spaciousness
moving from head to heart
Great stuff!!!
Active listening, space for storytelling. Client growth, awareness, patience (I wanted to jump in with questions a couple times where waiting made most sense). Finally, a most thoughtful and effective use of language.
Seek clarity, challenge appropriately. Love the candor! Brutal, but valuable honesty...

Some of the participant's take-aways:
Both coach and client brought their authentic selves to the coaching conversation. The ease with which they engaged was a demonstration of their high-trust relationship.
Trusting myself and my intuition and putting it out there without explanation or asking permission. The coach modeled great confidence and trust.
I appreciated the conversation around external/internal processors and prep forms. I also like the tip shared by the coach--the fastest way to more masterful coaching is to listen to a recording of my coaching and assess it.
1. Brief questions 2. Gentle Coaching presence 3. Coach the person, not the situation
Allowing spaciousness for the client.
To focus more on the contracting process to ensure clients understand what coaching is and isn’t--including coach and client roles and responsibilities.
The power of using words the client uses.
Building trust in the relationship allows for the coach to be more themselves in the call.
When clients feel fear (like I am afraid I will never be able to sing again), to lean into the fear and not avoid it. The question, what if you couldn’t sing again, was a great question that had the client really feel this fear.
simple, easy, space
More room, slow down (as always), the power of letting the client play around with their awareness.
I think the portion of the call that spoke to suicidal intervention was really interesting.
Giving the client the time and room via the silences to tap into their own brilliance.
Want to learn more about coaching suicide awareness- a valuable skill to have not only for clients but for life in general.
Michael revealing his learning around the affirming noises he made. The way he explained why it’s not beneficial to the client was eye opening, loved it! Will be more watchful in my own coaching.
Master Certified Complex People Dynamics in the Workplace, Leadership Coach Bonus: Additional 15 minutes of Q&A
Coaching Scenario: The client is not in the coaching profession, she has received some kind of coaching in the past and this was the first time that she and Amy have ever met or spoken.
Coaching Topic: Wants to learn how to communicate with a difficult manager-he crosses boundaries, talks disrespectfully, eavesdrops on conversations and reads emails etc. She works in the financial industry and finds boundaries get crossed or blurred a lot. So wants to know how to set boundaries and learn how to broach difficult situations/conversations, handle them in a professional and diplomatic way and not let them fester.

Some participant take-aways:
I would rate this one of the three best calls in my long time Moore Master Call subscription.
“There are 100 pathways to get up the mountain with the client”. If you confine yourself to a specific process, you cannot dance in the moment.
When you can trust the client to lead the way, you will be a masterful coach.
Coaching presence - Amy has it in spades!
To “discern when to insert yourself and when to step out”
Thank you Gail! I look forward to listening to the call again.
I thought Amy was terrific -- great questions, great ability in balancing her model with really “getting” the energy of the client and working with it...like skipping “steps” because she had a really responsive client.
The power of reframing the issue so it’s about what the client can focus on changing her mindset rather than trying to change the other person
Having the mindset of a leader in the industry--exhibiting confidence and not second guessing myself. The “LEAD” coaching model.
To consistently work on myself—“push own growing edge”; I need to walk the talk--model the work I ask of my clients.
I absolutely loved Amy’s coaching and candid answers in the Q&A
Lyssa deHart MCC
Confidence, Narrative, Relationship, Mentor & Coaching Supervision Bonus: Additional 30 minutes of discussion and Q&A
CALL #1 Coaching Scenario: The client is not in the coaching profession, she has never been coached before and this is the first time that she and Lyssa have ever met or spoken.
Coaching Topic: "I would like to be coached on how to fully embrace an abundant mindset. I find my old programs sneak up on me despite how much I have learned about the Law of Attraction. I am ready to leave my self-limiting beliefs behind so I can take my health and wellness website to the next level!"

Some of the participant take-aways:
This was one of the best and most valuable sessions I’ve listened to.
Loved the discussion about weaving several competencies into the conversation through a “most useful question”
To be aware of any “looping” by a client that could be a red flag indicating the need for therapy.
I am definitely going to listen to this call again!
I particularly appreciated Lyssa’s observations about situational rabbit holes and differentiating between asking interesting questions that might take them backward vs asking important questions that take the client forward.
Great questions I tend to ask, but not as efficiently worded. And, the metaphor of jumping in the pool together holding hands.
Mastery doesn’t have to take long if you’re willing to put discipline and rigorousness into your preparation
Lots of great tips for preparing for MCC, asking for permission, keeping on track throughout the call with what the client wants
Loved this call so much. Can’t wait to get the recording.
The client was poised on the precipice to have a breakthrough and Lyssa’s exquisite coaching got her there. TRULY Breathtaking in only 30 minutes!
Embodiment of heart and intuition
Wow that was a pleasure to observe; one of my top 5 favorite Moore Master Coaching calls.
Lyssa used so many coaching skills in such a masterful way, if I were to note all the skills, I would be listing all the competencies. Lyssa was so present she picked up on the moments that helped the client connect to her awareness, she simply stayed curious, and the client went deep. Beautiful coaching very impressed.
I’m impressed at how the coach stayed in the coaching framework throughout the call even during the moments when the client brought up the past. Lyssa beautifully weaved those therapeutic moments into future oriented, forward moving powerful questions. I’m looking forward to re-listening to this call.
When coaching someone who has been assigned to coaching and who may not be fully onboard with it, ask “How can we make this useful for you?”
Example of not pursuing unpacking of the past, but rather letting the past go to move on.
CALL #2
Lyssa came back for another call to share the recording of her coaching session that passed the ICF MCC exam plus the examiners feedback.
Bonuses: She gave an additional 30 minutes for debrief, Q&A and to discuss some the examiners feedback as well as a copy of the examiners feedback report.
Coaching scenario: Pam is a long time on-going client of Lyssas- since @2013.
Coaching topic: She's feeling very stuck as to what to do and how to move forward. She loves being alone and wonders if she should stay with her boyfriend who ultimately would like it to be more. She's worried that maybe her pattern and that she will always find an issue and never be able to be fully comimitted to someone.

Some of the participant take-aways:
I thought the coaching was brilliant
Patience, patience, patience. Even when the client says “I don?t know”, keep being curious because they do know!
Loved Lyssa’s style! Her depth of listening and presence to be in the soup with the client and ask only what was necessary to help the client take one step forward at a time!
Exquisite example of how to help a client who is feeling really stuck break through and begin to move forward.
To relax and trust the process-even if the client feels totally stuck, using metaphor and simple questions with slow pacing was enough to help her break into a new space
Ask questions based on what’s important for the benefit of the client rather than for my curiosity
Creating “presence” first as the first communication
Having the client create visuals to describe their focus for the call and/or feelings and then referencing that visual throughout the session.
So many of her methods and ways of being were new and inspiring
How the ICF assessors rated the call
Good examples for the coaches I mentor
How you really have to believe in your client’s wholeness, even when they are going through difficult life experiences.
The multiple check in moments with what the client was physically feeling, and using that as a gauge of her progress.
Building on client metaphors, and getting clarity on what the metaphor means, not to me, but to the client.
The power of metaphor. Loved how the client’s metaphor about the pot could also reflect a coach approach.
Lyssa came back again to give us a live real-world demonstration of a coaching Super-Vision session.
Bonuses: A piece that changes perspective on the "sales" conversation and deep discount on Lyssa's 2 other MMC calls.
Lyssa uses three photos that Joy selected as a jumping off point for the Super-Vision session. You will receive those to look at while listening.
Coaching scenario: Joy and Lyssa met in 2017 when they came together as presidents of their local ICF chapters and collaborated on an ICF Chapter training. After that they saw each other from time to time on other calls and then last year, Joy participated in Lyssa's Coaching with the power of metaphors certification program.
Coaching topic: Joy wants to know how to listen even more deeply.

Some participant take-aways:
In 20 plus years, I have never heard anyone talk about supervision in this way. Truly a missing piece in our profession or at least an area that is glossed over. Transformational. Deep thanks!
Using photos in coaching
Great session. So grateful for the better understanding of what Coaching Supervision really is. Not at all what I thought it was.
How supportive superVision can be.
Deeper listening skills.
The coach provided a beautiful demonstration of coaching supervision, or as she calls it Super-Vision. As I now understand it, Super-Vision helps build the capacity of the coach through a reflective, explorative, free-form dialogue/process. This is different from mentor coaching which is an analytical assessment of a specific coaching conversation.
To explore Super-Vision. To continue to work on myself from the inside out in order to show up neutral, open, and fully present for my clients.
An invaluable call to action - deepen the being of my coaching with new reflective practice.
One of the best!
Use of imagery as metaphor in coaching supervision.
Excellent session- really valued how the topic for this session broke out into a new area of exploration in coaching! Thanks
Lyssa had a litany of traps that coaches can get themselves into with clients ex. Caring too much about the client, or the client reminds you of your sister etc.
Coaching presence is built upon the ability to listen deeply, with our heart and all of our being.
Supervision is really helpful and should really be mandatory as part of CEU requirements.
Reminder to use imagery, metaphor and other non-thinking prompts for self and for clients
The perception of “Who we are is how we coach”. Making sure that my personality/biases/opinions etc are taken out of the coaching conversation.
Master Certified Confidence Coach Bonuses: An additional 45 minute discussiion & Q&A on what makes a masterful coach, upon request a 2 hour recording from Bens class & Ben's Creating Your ABCs Masterful Coaching Phrase
Coaching Scenario: This client is not in the coaching profession, has never been coached before and this is the first time she and Ben have ever met or spoken
Coaching Topic: "My biggest challenge right now is that I have become an emotional eater and gained 60 lbs during this stressful time. It is deeply related to business. I need to appear on TV and in photography for the business beginning this month and in a video for Amazon. I am truly reluctant to do so because of the weight I am carrying and how I feel---however---my company desperately needs me to bring my “A” game if we are to rise."

Some of the participant take-aways:
This call was one of the best coaching sessions I have ever heard. Ben really let the entire session unfold naturally and got her to really connect to her body. I love the way he allowed her to connect her weight challenge to the real "challenge" of carrying the burden of the downfall of her company and how that was stuck in her cellular memory. I actually had a shift in myself during this coaching session! Thank you!
masterful handling of coaching awareness and presence
Great use of imagery and lots of great metaphors
This was a great call! Ben’s ability to adapt and go where the client needed to be was simply beautiful. What unfolded was a masterful demonstration of coaching in the presence of deep emotions.
I was so struck by ben’s compassion and the loving kindness with which he held the client!
Trust in my intuition, listen to it, and offer it to the client to take or leave as she sees fit.
What a beautiful being he is--honest, vulnerable, humble, funny and so articulate--thank you for allowing us to hear him!
Value of being fully present, agile and available emotionally to hold the space for a client
Trust in myself and client-there isnt always somewhere to go; to be ok with saying we may or may not get there-let's see what we discover-giving us permission not to have an outcome
Inspiration and desire to continue building my own mastery. Grateful to be able to observe an authentic conversation with a truly masterful and compassionate coach.
He was a master of validation and empathy. I will use this! To not have to force our way to get a certain outcome by the end of the coaching session. He is truly a master.
The power of presence, and trust in oneself, the client, and the process. Masterful coaching is about letting go of preconceived ideas and plans--moving with the client, and adapting to what’s needed in the moment.
And please see:
The 3 MCC call where Ben and 2 other Master Coaches coached the same client back to back picking up where the last left off. Under the "3 MCC" tab
The Grand Trine Coaching Experience where Ben coached 2 clients in a 3 call series demonstrating the 2 most popular coaching models: exploratory and directive. Under the "Grand Trine" tab
Bonus: 30 additional minutes of discussion and Q&A at the end of the call on what it takes to go from a good coach to a great one
Coaching Scenario: The client is not in the coaching profession. She has had coaching in the past but this is the frist time that she and David have ever met or spoken.
Coaching Topic: "I am a 56-year-old getting started as a speaker/consultant on leadership issues in technical companies. I’ve written a book, gotten a nice sparkly website, but my biggest issue is “imposter syndrome”. I still have that feeling that I have no business advising anyone on leadership issues, even though I have an MBA, plenty of management experience, and plenty of compliments on my insights and abilities with people. And of course, I’ve written a book on leadership! But still there’s that voice whispering to me “nah, not you, hon”. That’s what I’m looking to get past."

Some of the participant take-aways:
It was a pleasure to observe such powerful coaching! One of the best coaching demonstrations. I loved the authenticity and boldness of his coaching.
Brilliant coaching! David not only challenged the client, he challenged me to think about how I can add more value as a coach. His provocative comments about the future of coaching should be heeded by every coach.
Coaching is more than helping create insight for the client. It’s also about helping the client to take action by getting “ridiculously specific” regarding the steps he/she will take and the “speed bumps” that may get in the way.
Inspiration and a model for truly masterful coaching. Impressive work! I will listen to this session again.
How boldness is the gateway to great coaching.
One of the best coaching demonstrations. I loved the authenticity and boldness of his coaching.
I am committed to paying more attention to when I turn away from an opportunity to take a risk with a client.
Both client and coach were dynamic!
Other valuable lessons I learned: be willing to be wrong more, be aware of the power dynamic in coaching, and challenge my clients more.
Use of humor, reframing, digging with depth to achieve insight
His coaching presence, in terms of presentation and content, was masterful.
Be confident enough to be wrong. Find the issue and then anchor it.
David Goldsmith's was a guest again for a different kind of call & an MMC first!
Please note: extended call time (to 90 minutes) & how this call was different!
David was a guest in January (the above call) and coached a woman not in the coaching profession, who has had some coaching in the past but this was the first time she and David had ever met or spoken. This call is a participant favorite!
David coached her again on this call as a follow-up session.
The coaching was conducted similarly to the way coaches train the pro athletes by breaking down and examining the action play by play. So David coached in a start and stop fashion giving us the opportunity in the moment to engage with David, the client and the coaching in a very participatory way.

Wow! What a beautiful coaching session and life lesson!
That paraphrasing fears to the point of ridiculousness brings levity to a situation and allows the client to reset.
The impact of reflecting as a mirror the words of the client so that they can hear it.
The importance of listening to one’s gut in deciding in which direction to go during the session
Clients will reveal where the coaching conversation can go deep. Not helpful for coaches to be too nice--okay to provoke/challenge client’s thinking.
Not being afraid to try different things to get to that “thing”; that will be of value and get results.
It is always a pleasure to observe David and his powerful coaching! Thank you for having him back again. I learn so much from him.
I admire his confidence in his own intuition; and how he is not attached to being right, he simply “has a hypothesis” and tests it out. It is such a masterful tool, and this is what I strive to always connect to in my coaching sessions.
He modeled brilliantly how to step over the potential therapy issues regarding her past, but used the depth and pain from those experiences in a coaching framework.
The logic and simplicity David used to shed light into the unconscious fears / beliefs.
Terrie Lupberger MCC
Master Certified Senior Executive & Corporate Coach Contributing Author: A Coach’s Guide to Emotional Intelligence and The Handbook of Knowledge-Based Coaching Bonus: Thomas Leonard's New Client Checklist
Coaching Scenario: Joseph is not in the coaching profession, has never been coached before and this is the first time he and Terrie have ever met or spoken
Coaching Topic: "I get 95% of a project completed, and then won't finish the rest. I
have several books that are "almost done". I wrote business plans and then shelved them. I can easily finish projects for other people and other businesses, but when It comes to me, I often let things fall by the sidelines.A lot of times I get distracted by new projects. What's the block, what is stopping me from getting things done? Im very skilled with lots of education, why cant I finish things?"

Some of the participant take-aways:
How powerful simply holding space for a client to explore really can be, especially when done with lightness!
I’m taking away joy with Terrie's coaching! Effortless, light & true impact.
Just that master's touch - giving power to the client, light but deep, EASY!
Terrie beautifully and lightly accompanied Joseph in his exploration...she articulated and pointed to areas that were coming up in the exploration that he may not have been aware of, to help him decide where to focus their time. He was really the ''star'' of this session. Also loved what she said about getting trapped as coaches listening too closely to the words but to listen to the energy as well as the words...loved that.
I am going to try to wear the metaphor of my client being the ''star'' and me being the able reflector and observer, lightly accompanying him on his journey and pointing things out along the way. I quite like that.
Continue to stay curious, get agreement from the client, check in with the client, acknowledge, and go deeper--not rush to strategies and/or problem solving.
And you can see Terrie's call where she and 2 other Master Coaches coach the same client back to back under the "3 MCC" tab
Micki McMillan M.Ed., MCC
Master Certified Corporate & Leadership Coach Recorded on: March 18, 2014 Special Bonus: Micki's article-The Business of Learning-How You Can Close the Gaps Between What You Can Do and What You Want to Do
Coaching scenario: The client is an ongoing client of Micki's, they have had @4-5 previous sessions. He is not in the coaching profession but is planning on taking Micki's Transformational Coaching program
Coaching topic:It isa very disconcerting, uncomfortable and confusing time for him. All the things he once felt such passion about no longer hold much interest. He feels like he's just going through the motions. This isnt the way he wants to live his life. He wants to be present and feel grateful. Knows he's in the midst of big changes, doesnt have a clue as to what they are and initially thinks he wants some coping skills to help him until he figures out where he's headed.

Some of the feedback from participants:
"I was really reminded about the power and value of coaching presence and holding that space for emerging awareness. It seemed to me that the movement this client experienced was energized by the container the coach created and held throughout the session, and her connection to him and her clarity about where he was every minute of the session."
"The call was excellent and definitely helped me grow as a coach through seeing the benefit of having the client move from head/analyzing to the heart of his desire. It was very valuable as I am pursuing licensure as a HeartMath Coach in the future."
"The topic was very similar to topics my clients bring to me and the coach's work with this client was validating."
"Very valuable as it went deeply into the personal level, right into the heart of the client, which is my coaching goal."
"Invaluable call today because the coaching was simple and classic. Foundational - no bells and whistles, just pure. I''m walking away with a reminder to go slow, easy - step by step."
Coaching Scenario: The client is not a coach and this was the first time that he and Darlene had ever met or spoken.
Coaching Topic: The client loves to paint but often experiences resistance in doing it. His dilemma is: if he loves to paint, why is he resistant to doing it? He experiences the same with marketing his art. He is highly resistant to that even more so than painting itself and is seeking a breakthrough in this limiting pattern.

Ironically the book teaches how to get your wishes to come true… perhaps I could get a little assistance."

Client Topic:"I am currently in an unfulfilling job and I have digestive health issues that are not being resolved through diet and supplements. I am a creative person and I’m travel-mad and I currently want to leave my job and travel around the world to heal and write about my experiences – a blog first, a book later. But I have fear about this – about financially surviving; about what will happen when I return from my travels; about my safety on the road; about not being able to get rid of my health issues; about how to even write a book! I would like to be coached on how to get past that fear and take the leap."

Some of the participant take-aways:
• How to listen underneath to what is not being said but is very present and then bringing it to the forefront to check out with the client
• Listen closely and reflect observations - as Madeleine did so well
• I appreciated that Madeleine was so open and transparent about her own vulnerabilities as a coach.
• It was a great example of allowing the client to be the expert of her life.
• Madeline very honestly discussed challenges she sometimes has self-managing when client is very fearful. Extremely helpful to me
• To be comfortable not ”doing a whole lot” letting the process unfold.
• Even as a master coach, I value the opportunity to hear my peers coach clients, and I specifically like how Mad opened the conversation.
• I loved her initial question “What I’m hearing sounds like you have a vision” I got chills from how that shifted the client quickly.
• The benefits a client can obtain from a skilled, present listener asking powerful questions!
• Loved the honest Q and A afterwards - so informative!
• To be fully aware of how my own beliefs, feelings, fears, could influence the coaching conversation. To help manage myself by continually bringing it back to questions for the client.
• I loved how Madeleine checked in “how does that land?” and “does that feel right?”
• Don’t tiptoe around the client’s vision! Help client claim it even it’s scary.

“Helen “didn’t skip a beat” and that was exactly what I loved about Helen’s coaching. She was so present. And she weaved many pieces together. Those little things are what makes a client really feel heard and understood, and there were many examples of that in this session. Very impressed with Helen’s coaching”
“A beautiful demonstration of coaching. Also enjoyed the discussion around how the coach deals with “heavy” issues.”
“I’d love to be able to use acknowledgment as easily and natural as the coach did in the call.”
“Call was deep enough to be as therapeutic as a therapy session, but in the context of coaching and present/future orientation.So masterful!”
“The dance between the coach and client was electric.”
“I listened to the call early this morning as today is another full day of facilitation. What a BRILLIANT coaching session and what a wonderful inspirational way to start my day.”
“Helen is FABULOUS! A worthy role model at every level.”
“Helen’s extremely skilled use of metaphor.”
“A pleasure to witness the mastery and vulnerability of the coach and the impact of this combination together, and the ease and partnership of the coach and client during the session. Inspiring.”
“I loved this call because it was a great example of how often times the clients who come to us have done a lot of work on themselves in therapy, and we as coaches are the next step for the clients working towards what they want. Helen beautifully embraced the heavy realities that Maggie showed up to the call with, all the while staying in the coach framework”
Barbara Luther, MCC
Master Certified Creative & ADD/ADHD Coach Bonus: audio recording of a special coaching session by Barbara for one of her Soaring Coaches Circle classes
Coaching Scenario: The client is not in the coaching profession and this is the first time that she and Barbara have ever met or spoken.
Coaching Topic: "I'm an artist, author and creative catalyst. Ioften start things and don't finish them - I know I have sabotaged my success in many ways due to difficulty focusing, too many ideas, feeling spacey etc! The topic I would like to be coached on is: how to set up systems that will work for me so I can follow through on my numerous ideas/projects floating around in my head. Being a super duper creative right brained person means the systems have to be colorful and easy for me to follow."
Purchase MP3- $59.97
"The Barbara Luther call was phenomenal. She immediately heard beneath the client's stated agenda and gently unpeeled the layers of the onion to reveal the core of the matter and the client's wisdom. A beautiful example of coaching at its very finest!
Thank-you, Gail! I'm so glad to have discovered MMC and to have access to hearing coaches at the top of our profession."~Sally Ward, PCC, CPCC Ward Leadership
"The call today was extremely helpful to me. For me it was an example of really being present to the client and getting over there with the client and allowing them to discover their brilliance. It was also really helpful for me as I am working in a business relationship with a coach who recognizes that she has some ADD traits."~D. Petersen, BCC - Coaching for Well Being
"I enjoyed listening to the call with Barbara Luther. I noticed how Barbara shared information and then very quickly returned power to the client, without needing to resort to being overly directive. It worked beautifully. She kept the integrity of the partnership, kept the client moving forward, and maximized the efficiency of the call. It was excellent session management. Her information about ADD seemed to be well-founded and truly useful to the client. She did all this with ease and good humor. A lovely experience. Thank you." ~Bobbie Burdett, BCC, PCC (applicant), Director of Training HealthWorld Online, www.authenticoach.com
"Thank you to you Gail and to Barbara for choosing me for this teleseminar. I really enjoyed the session and have a few wonderful take aways to use in my toolkit. I sure appreciate it!" ~Violette- the client on the call
Coaching Scenario: This client is not in the coaching profession, she has never been coached before, and this is the first time she and Jennifer have met or spoken.
Coaching Topic:I've spent a lot of time in the Middle East working with Iraqi, Palestinian, and Syrian refugees and am now writing a book about my experiences. 8 chapters have been awarded 19 literary awards. Several chapters appear in 7 anthologies, including one published by Random House and another that won a Benjamin Franklin Award and is used in college classes. I've had very positive feedback. But I can't seem to finish. I have 2 or 3 final chapters to go and a few more chapters to polish. The end is so close (after 7 years!), but I haven't touched the book in several months.

Participant take-aways:
Some powerful questions that helped to shift the client and also a reminder that listening to the client’s language or criteria words is very important.
Jennifer’s holistic approach with the client to call forth greater awareness
Remembering not to think I know the answer for the client.
Use of intuition with coaching and setting that up in the agreement so that there is a free flow during the coaching session.
The importance of not being attached to an outcome
Incorporating more of “what’s showing up for you?” type of questions and sharing what’s showing up for me. Jennifer mentioned she and her clients have an understanding that she’ll do that on the call. I need to establish that myself.
To me Kelly, was a tough client to coach and that in itself was instructional to watch Jennifer approach it. It’s like live TV, you never know what is going to happen. I thought it was great.
I will use some of Jennifer’s excellent questions as opportunity presents.
Jennifer’s humility and transparency were wonderful examples for me
I like that Jennifer had she and her client take a deep breath together. When my client is stressed, I ask her if she’dd like to take a couple relaxing breaths and if she’d like me to lead her through it. But, we can do that together in order to set the stage that we are equal partners, in this together
And you can see Jennifer's call where she and 2 other Master Coaches coach the same client back to back under the "3 MCC" tab

Carol Courcy NCOC, MCC
Master Certified Emotional Agility Coach Author of Save Your Inner Tortoise Bonuses: Carol's audio Spend Less Time in Fear & $50 off her video course Freedom From Excessive Guilt
Coaching Scenario: This client was not in the coaching profession. He had received group coaching as a part of his business at a conference but never one on one or on personal issues. This was the first time he and Carol had ever met or spoken, however Carol did send me 3 questions to send to the client prior to the call.
Coacing Topic: He's dealing with doubt and feelings of inadequacy. Hes a consultant- he works with people, asks them questions then formulates a plan that makes sense only to find out they missed the whole point or didnt at all capture what they talked about. So he wonders, did I not deliver, did I confuse them? If the 1st 2 prospects buy he's feeling confident and the next 3 dont, he begins to doubt and wonders what he's doing wrong. He's having difficulty getting anything to stick and its hard to keep going, to stay motivated- his energy disappears.

Coaching Scenario: Cindy brought the client to the call. She was someone who Cindy had coached in the past mostly around business issues. So it was a bit of a surprise to Cindy when she came with an emotional, personal relationship issue.
Coaching Topic: "I have a lingering issue with a break up of a relationship that I chose to end that I'm having difficulty working through. I ended the relationship but I'm stuck with the consequences of having him live here with me on a six month lease. And I can't seem to shed the anger around how it made me feel to need to end the relationship and not be able to get him out of my life."
While relationships are not specifically Cindys niche/area of expertise, the management of one's energy is applicable to every area of life and she coached her beautifully!
Like they say, after the 1st 3 sessions, all coaching is life coaching, no matter what the niche. And what a treat & a treasure to hear how a master does it!

Master Certified Business & Entrepreneur Coach Bonuses: Philips Consumers Guide to Choosing a Mastermind Group and ebook coauthored with his wife Laura Hess MCC- It's Not the Bears that Will Get You Its the Bugs Eliminate What's Bugging You: Focus on Success
Coaching Scenario: The client is not in the coaching profession. She has been coached in the past but this is the first time that she and Philip have ever met or spoken.

Some of the participant take-aways:
"This coach demonstrated powerful presence with this client. You could hear how closely he was tracking her and how deeply he was listening."
"Clients know what they need. When coaches stay present, in service of the client and asking powerful questions clients open to their deeper knowing."
"I loved listening to Phillip coach Ellie. I admire how he follows his intuition and his hunches and then asked clarifying questions to get more information on what’s really going on for the client. He listened carefully (active listening) to her, to what was said and not said. He picked up on her use of the word ‘permission” and followed it to and all that it revealed for her, without her even realizing she used that word."
"Getting to topic quickly when there is a menu of topics, powerful questioning to have the client lead where the session is going, repeatedly clarifying and taking a new topic on if indicated by client as priority."
"Loved what Philip said about the ICF competencies--that the best coaches integrate the competencies into their lives. The competencies are reflected in how they live their lives."
"To never assume that the client and myself hold the same meaning for a particular word. To listen for the client’s use of words and to check in regarding the client’s definition of words. Also, to continue to check in with the client regarding the coaching agreement."
" I liked his comment on understanding learning styles to really be there with the clientas well as integrating the competencies into who you are personally."
"Q and A was most valuable!"
"Establish norms for coaching and their interaction together."
"Keep it simple. Define language in their own words."

Some of the participant take-aways:
"Demonstration and validation of coaching at a level of true mastery."
"Noticing the questions the coach asked that were powerful in their simplicity. I will go back and listen to the call again and be conscious of the way she brought the client to explore deeper issues."
"Really powerful to learn the difference between MCC and PCC level use of reflection!"
"Wonderful call and demonstration of inquiry-wish we had longer to go through the 3 case studies for the skill drill"
"Great modeling of presence and new skill -Art of Inquiry"
"The use of inquiry structure to keep the question alive."
"The "discipline" of "holding back" on the part of the coach"
"This was a powerful reminder that clients have all the knowing they need inside them, we can't add any richness by leading or having an agenda for them, and that powerful questions are simple, short and open-ended."
Lynn Stewart MCC was scheduled to be the guest but she had a personal emergency but allowed us to listen to one of her previous recorded sessions. Fran who was Lynn's mentor coach joined us on the call and demonstrated master mentor coaching feedback.
2 Master Coaches and 2 Master Coach demonstrations!

Some of the participant take-aways:
Hearing an assessor’s (Fran’s) feedback about this session was invaluable. I picked up so many useful tips for strengthening my own coaching!
I need to become more aware of my coaching patterns that may not be supporting the client.
I’ll be making sure my questions are truly open-ended and that I’m not leading the client in any way.
I loved the way Lynn set up the call in the beginning; she went deep, clarified and explored the agenda really quickly, it took it to another level. I also like that she explored all the possible options of where the session could go. I’m also taking away Lynn’s soft, yet strong/confident presence, and use of/paraphrasing of the clients own words, because of that it felt like she tracked well with the client.
I need to become more aware of my coaching patterns that may not be supporting the client.
Opened my eyes to the nuances as well, really interesting and would love to hear more!
I found Fran’s very specific constructive feedback followed then by how it might have been done differently unbelievably helpful.
Great examples of how not to lead the client.
Questions to ask that invite the client to do the work.
Wow Gail I got so much that I can implement right away. Helped me see where I need and want to grow.
Fran’s specificity helped me see very clearly what it is in my own coaching I need to work on. Watch out for those leading questions and acknowledging sounds or comments!
I found Lynn to be very present with her client and I felt the connection. I appreciated the way she checked in with the client and would repeatedly reflect back what she was hearing.
I will transcribe that entire debriefing.
Must always confirm with the client re my observations otherwise makes client feel that I’m right or that I think I am!
I’ll be making sure my questions are truly open-ended and that I’m not leading the client in any way.
Feel like I got a peek behind the scenes, the inner workings so to speak. I have a page full of takeaways.
Call #3
Establishing the Coaching Agreement is where many coaches can get tripped up and can be the main reason for not passing the ICF exam. So this call is dedicated to exploring and delving deeply into this core competency as well as hearing Fran demonstrating it at the master level in a real coaching session with one her clients.
Fran says there are three things that are typically challenging at the MCC level regarding Establishing the Coaching Agreement, and they are KEY to the conversation:
1. HOW to take the client’s exploration DEEPER for their underlying issue and taking the time to do so
2. Measuring for success
3. Inviting the client to lead
Get ready to take this competency to the next level!
As special bonuses Fran gave us an additional 30 minutes to do this, she gave a hand-out which is a wonderful reource and the call provides 1.5 CEU's.

Some of the participant take-aways:
I am so very impressed at how Fran established that agreement! I have never heard such an in depth demo on the clarity and depth that could come out of establishing the agreement to that extent. Wow. That was very insightful. I now have a beautiful example of what to strive for, to really be of service to my clients.
Competency 2 is pivotal in going deeper with the client to hear what’s important or meaningful for that person
Don’t step over the energy shifts, incongruencies, as this is an opportunity to dive deeper
It’s not linear and Fran circled back to each [PCC] marker until the client was really clear and grounded in the agreement
Who is the client being in relation to the focus or issue they are bringing to the call.
Realising how I might be/ am leading clients - Having measures always with numbers - instead of how the client would measure where they are.
Moving from coaching the “What” to coaching the “Who”; the client.
Changing how I respond to the client’s answer to: How will you know if you have gotten your outcome?
Amazing demonstration and learning on how important it is to be patient and meet the client where they are, to fully explore what the client wants to achieve and the motivation underneath in defining the coaching agreement.
How overlooked the coaching agreement can be! How very important it is in defining and focusing the area(s) of coaching on what the client really wants. It IS the coaching!
Really nail it down and confirm topic, motivation, and outcome before moving on.
This was an extremely helpful call and a great reminder to up my game!
Wynne Miller MCC
Master Certified Leadership, Entrepreneur & Transition Coach Bonus: Harvard Business Review article: From Purpose to Impact
Coaching Scenario: The client is not in the coaching profession, she has never been coached before and this is the first time that she and Wynne have met or spoken. In fact Wynne didnt even know what the topic was. The monthly subscribers chose this topic from a list a submitted to them.
Coaching Topic: "I'd wag my tail over the opportunity to be coached on how to have my Pet Disaster Preparedness and First Aid trainings reach that next level! My topic may be niche however, pets are part of the family evidenced by the $63 billion pet care industry and the unending disasters occurring round the globe. So many more animals, and the people who love them, could benefit from my help while bringing me sustainable income, so I need guidance to build upon my books, courses, celebrity students and TV segments to make it a reality!"

Some of the participants take-aways:
“Changed my views on what constitutes a brilliant demonstration! Hearing the master coach fall into the trap of trying to solve the problem but quickly catching herself was amazing. It was really valuable for me to see how she successfully turned it around.”
“I loved when the coach immediately interrupted the client when she used the word “obnoxious” to describe herself. That was a turning point in the call. And it’s a good reminder going forward of when it’s really important to interrupt a client.”
“Getting client to narrow the problem early on saves time!”
“The use of the internal question (by Alan Seale) “What wants to happen here?”
“How to use powerful questions for almost all of the coach communication to the client”
“Clients are frequently in need of confidence boosting- trying to solve their problems for them does not support their becoming more confident in their own competence and abilities to address/solve their own challenges.”
“The use of somatic coaching: starting a call by asking the client to take a few deep breaths to center herself; asking where the client feels or experiences something.”
“Wynne had the grace and humility to “catch herself” and tell all of us when she fell into the trap of fixing. Takes great courage and self-awareness to do this.”

Some of the participants take-aways:
I appreciated how although he had a teacher student relationship with the client outside the call, that was not apparent in the session at all. And I think that has a lot to do with him honoring the client as the expert in her life, and that was a beautiful example of that. I will be taking that reminder away from this call.
Mickey had a great relationship and connection with his client. His presence, and tracking with her was on point. He spent a lot of time establishing the agenda. Her goal of getting clear on her vision really evolved from the beginning of the call to the end thanks to his coaching. He used many coaching tools in the toolbox, acknowledging, scaling, metaview, etc.
Great call. I would love to have his dissertation to read. Can you/he forward to us. I enjoyed his interaction and insights he shared on the extra time.
The exploration phase is key...take the time.
Thanks so much! Helpful to hear another coach explore a pioneering venture.
PCC sessions are usually 50% awareness where MCC sessions aim for 100% awareness, with any actions flowing naturally from that awareness
I want to pay more attention to my level of awareness when I’m coaching.

“This coach was beyond masterful and elegant. He listened so exquisitely, followed the client’s story, asked powerful questions that forwarded the coaching session step by elegant step.”
“Incredible presence created by Michael’s silences.”
I appreciate witnessing Michael have his client give herself a pep talk and examples, giving her back the work she gave him to do, keeping it powerful coaching vs. consulting. He also had an easiness to him; being calm, confident and cheerful, believing in his client and in life.
A very strong reminder to let the client lead and get myself out of the way!
Coach should be comfortable with uncertainty in allowing clients to pursue their own paths forward in coaching relationship
Everything that came out of his mouth in that Q&A was gold
I am going to challenge myself to slow down and pause more.
WOWSA! What real deal mastery looks like.
How 25 minutes of masterful laser coaching can be enough for client to receive a real shift.
The purity of Michael’s coaching, his powerful questioning and his silences.

This was a pleasure and a gift opportunity to hear a different style of MCC coaching.
A fabulous coaching session. The Q and A afterwards was especially rewarding.
As so often is the case, simplicity.
Loved the tips around why, what if, and how. Also the tip about getting related when first meeting the client for a session.
How much can be accomplished in a short time!
I loved hearing a male coach. There's definitely a different vibe and it was interesting to observe it.
I enjoyed listening to Ken talk about assessments he uses & recommended books.
Holding the questions in mind: Why this topic and Why now?
Getting to the "who" of the client is. That was insightful to get the client to that point.
How to reflect back to the client that shows the client a new perspective - using metaphors like the ship has left the dock - helping the client see he had already decided.
Great time getting to know the client before establishing the agreement for the session... good demonstration of competencies: trust and intimacy (tone, energy); reframe/clarificication - direct communication; Powerful questions; awareness (metaphor, etc)

Some of the participant take-aways as well as the client feedback a week after the call:
Elegant demo of powerful coaching at its best. The coach listened deeply, asked the most powerful questions and held the space for the client to listen to her own thoughts and move through her confusion to brilliant clarity.
One of the best masterful coaching session I have ever heard.
I really enjoyed the call; the coach trusted the client to be the expert, to be creative, and resourceful. Her thinking process exemplified the clients ability to go deep. Very deep! And think new thoughts/ideas she has not before.
What stood out to me was hearing the coach’s presence and confidence in providing the space for the client to be listened to, like she may not have ever been listened to before. What a gift.
The call today with Jane was awe-inspiring, and her approach to coaching resonated with me who has used the Socratic method in teaching. Thanks again.
Asking the client, at the beginning, for a clue/symbol they will use to let the coach know when they are ready for the next question. And, closing with appreciation for a specific trait observed in the client.
This was a fascinating call that demonstrated the power of presence, powerful questioning, and trust in the client’s ability to think for herself.
To be aware of how I’m showing up as a coach--especially my assumptions about my clients’ abilities to be resourceful and think for themselves--to avoid “directing” their thinking. To be present and ask questions that “free” their minds.
Don’t be afraid to keep asking the same question! And what else? And what else?
Great demo. I appreciated the opportunity to be educated about the Thinking Environment and being the Thinking Partner.
I really liked Jane’s intro and the way in which she set up the call for success. I think I’m going to spend some time working on my intro/agreement, by discussing my style, and being upfront about the way I coach by mentioning it at the start. I can see how it really would help find the right client-coach match.
Really appreciated such a beautiful demonstration of this process.
Idea of helping foster client “independent thinking” in tackling situations where they are feeling stuck. “The purpose of the coach it not to direct the client’s mind, but rather to help free it.”
You can read a powerful quote from Jane about the TE work, more takeaways and what the client reported 1 week after this session under the Thinking Environment tab.

Some of the participant take-aways:
Extremely beneficial as it was an unusual demo, client was not articulating or going deep in words despite there obviously being deep feeling and emotion. However, coach discovered access point through process coaching and body feelings and sensations, and this was helpful to the client.
Emotions will come up for clients during coaching. It is possible to coach clients around their emotions without “practicing therapy”.
This was one of my favorites! Loved how the questions flowed, the references to the body and how Rodrigo stayed present even when the client didn’t understand what he was saying/asking, .
My biggest takeaway was the use of somatic coaching in this MCC call. I love how helpful it can be when coaching around emotions to use the body and the present moment as a way of not getting sucked into the past, and not getting the client stuck on the story of the past.
Finding tools that the client can use to hold their own without you, the coach, being their “anchor” past the call.
Holding the space for self-awareness past situations where emotion may overwhelm the client.
All the different ways Rodrigo evoked awareness with the client
Rodrigo’s beautifully simple & powerful questions. His positivity - such great energy.
I am already present to importance of emotional literacy in coaching clients in accessing the heart’s intelligence; this was just a beautiful example for me to follow.
Holding the space for self-awareness re past situations where emotion may overwhelm the client.
Allowing the client to associate the emotion present with their body sensations ~ can make it easier for them to talk about their emotion

Author of Sourcebook of Coaching History Bonus:The History of the ICF Credentialing and Accreditation
Coaching scenario: The client is not in the coaching profession. She is familiar with coaching as she has been coached in the past. This is the first time she and Vikki have ever met or spoken.
Coaching topic: The client left a "stable" part-time job to focus on a freelance writing career, she has received a major grant and her boyfriend of 3.5 years proposed to her-they have three children from previous marriages. She is thrilled-all of this is a dream come true and she is a freaked out!

To witness Vikki Brock's trust- in herself, the client and the coaching process was awe-inspiring and the best motivator in the world. To give just one example- unexpected “stuff” came up for the client in the last minutes of the session and she suddenly became very emotional. It was really wonderful to witness Vikki's mastery. There was no sense of urgency on her part, she continued to remain totally present with the client, honored where she was and helped move her through it by asking a series of 3 powerful questions.
The first of which was “And how does that relate to who you are as a human being and the love you bring into the world?”
"These calls you're providing where coaches get to hear master coaches coaching and then ask questions is really very important work."~Vikki Brock
Jessica Bronzert MCC

Different kind of MMC call
We listen to one of Jessica's coaching sessions that passed the ICF MCC exam along with getting to hear some of the examiner's feedback. Followed by a debriefing and Q&A.
Please Note Jessica's coaching session runs around 53 minutes, so she gave us a bonus 30 minutes in order to have plenty of time for debrief and Q&A. The call provides 1.5 CEUs.
Coaching Scenario: This client is in health care delivery and is applying for an internal position as an assistant dean. It’s a brand-new position so there’s no one to ask about what to expect.

Some of the participant take-aways:
I am VERY appreciative of this coach’s insight!
She’s so open with the pitfalls of trying to move forward in her own coaching technique.
Excellent brief, powerful questions.
I really like her coaching style. I think I would like to be coached by her.
Truly - that was great reinforcement & training - setting the coaching tone deeply.
Playing with the balance between spacious/not getting ahead of the client/neutral with innovation/deep client connection.
I hope I have the same determination as Jessica demonstrated (in getting her MCC). It’s encouraging!
The point she made of being careful about getting “into” the client’s work, where laughing could be interpreted as leading, rather than acknowledgement or affirmation.
The diligence of the process and time it took to get to a proper MCC recording.
Amazing call. I so appreciated her openness and candor.
This was a particularly valuable call -- Focused relevant questions, effective rapport, easy flow, blend of tools.
I thought this was a great call- great demo of a well-structured and implemented coaching session.
It was also nice to hear a master coach be so humble and share about her stumbles in her process towards attaining the MCC credential. Thanks!
Loved watching the coach dance with the client.
Her calm presence
Remember to not stack my questions!
Ensuring I leave plenty of space for the client to do their own work. Make sure that I use the client’s language.
Master Certified Executive Coach Bonus: 30 extra minutes for additional discussion and Q&
This was a very different and unprecedented call! We got to hear Elene's coaching session that passed the ICF MCC exam, debrief it with Elene, hear the comments of the ICF assessors and ask questions!
Coaching Scenario: Michelle hasn’t been a formal client of Elene’s since 2008. However she and Elene have worked together professionally since then in joint workshops. Michelle is a speech pathologist and they have also brought each other in on different engagements. And so in 2017 Elene asked Michelle if she would like a free coaching session in exchange for the session being recorded and submitted for the exam.
Coaching Topic: Wants to know how to deal with mistakes. How to get back on track and not get cynical about it. How to continue to have things continue to be working and humming along without being hard on herself. Wants to balance the extremes.

Very impressed by her master skill level. So many golden nuggets, but I guess my biggest takeaway was her use of the clients words, and how she consistently wove them back in to the conversation. It allowed the client to really feel heard and understood
A truly memorable call. I will listen and re-listen to this recording many times.
What taking time to explore the coaching agreement looks like in practice
So many great tips for the MCC exam.
What a fabulous call! There were so many powerful and immediately useful takeaways. The one that sticks out is related to not uttering affirming sounds as the clients speaking because that it is considered interrupting the client.
Some of the pointers to look for when doing a recording.
The power of silence for both the coach and the client.
How MCC coaching differs in quality from PCC coaching-specifically the critical element of designing the coaching agreement (can take a large part of the session) and coaching presence How she reflected back what she was hearing and tied themes together throughout the call
I’m so glad she shared her assessment feedback.
Another great call! My head is spinning with new things to practice.
The work, practice and preparation it takes to reach the MCC level!
Master Certified Executive & Mentor Coach Bonus: An article written by Sylviane called From Coronavirus to Corona-ENERGY!
Coaching Scenario: This client is not a coach, she has never been coached before and this was the first time she and Sylviane had ever met or spoken.
Coaching Topic: The issue is fear of supporting herself with a new business from scratch, as she was let go from my day job due to budget cuts. Her skills are in graphic design, marketing and she's close to getting an AA in Holistic Health Studies. She's very interested in designing holistic interior spaces. She's ready to start but her direction is kind of fuzzy, she wants coaching on clarity and on managing fear and doubt.

Some of the participant take-aways:
How the coach’s presence and intensity were skillfully used to advance a client discovery in less than 30 minutes!
I am taking away the reminder of the power of metaphor! I thought it was very insightful of the coach to bring the bridge/river metaphor into the session, it was a turning point for the client who was feeling stuck and fearful. It provided the client with perspective, courage to take the next “baby step” and the opportunity to control and change her mindset.
Trust the process of coaching and the client’s innate wisdom. I feel I am getting a bit over-reliant on asking “right questions” vs. listening and offering what I hear to help client claify the wisdom within
Tap into the energy in the body to hone in to the motivation
Wow Gail, Sylviane is truly gifted.
The importance of trusting the client.
When I get a fearful client, I’ll remind the client that fear is 90-95% irrational and help her/him tap into the 5-10% that’s useful.
The magic of powerful questioning, direct communication, and use of metaphor to build awareness and shift the client’s energy.
To understand that not everything a client brings can be handled in one session. That I can best serve my client by paying attention to whether the conversation is moving in a direction that is most useful to the client given any constraints (time, energy, topic, etc.) and then choosing an approach that will be most helpful in moving or shifting the client all while trusting the process.
Loved hearing the shift in the client’s energy by the end of the call. Found the use of the breath as an anchor to be a great tip.
The pace of the coach does not have to match client
Use of metaphor to strengthen self-awareness
“Going deep fast”. Daring to be direct with clients.
Never doubt your intuition and be certain that the CLIENT KNOWS. I felt this gave the coach the power to stay on track without being afraid to use strong energy
Sherryl T. Christie MCC
Executive & Leadership Coach Special Bonus: the call is extended for an additional 30 minutes to cover the elements below.
This was a different kind of call & an MMC first!
2 MCCs for the price of one!
SamMagill MCC (executive and coach supervisor for this call) begins by talking to us about coaching supervision, his passion and area of expertise.
Then we hear Sherryl T. Christie coaching one of her real world executive clients
Sam then demonstrates what he talked about and actually supervises Sherryl
Finally there's a Q&A
Coaching Scenario: Mike the client, is an executive and he and Sherryl have been coaching together off and on since 2011. They have been on a bit of a hiatus and so this is the first session theyve had for about 7 months.
Coaching Topic: Mike says his pattern has been to micro manage and take on things that other people arent handling well but knows it’s not sustainable or in the best interest of anyone. He's given an employee a huge project but feels this employee has a similar pathology. The project is not going well and the team is having problems with him. Mike says he’s always been of the mindset “accomplish the mission at any cost” and tends to be a direct bottom line kind of guy. He really wants to know how to approach this differently so that he can help the employee to develop his skillset and grow while also accomplishing the goals of the company.

Super-vision! Love it! Thanks to Sam and Sherryl for this learning experience!
Gratefulness to witness 2 coaching sessions one being supervision of an MCC. Wow!
How, when direct communication is done with the intent of helping the client get back on track, it can be very powerful.
Thank you for integrating supervision and doubling the MCCs, I so appreciate the variety and complexity.
As Sheryl spoke about, I am often ahead of my clients and need to slow down even more.
Great to listen to the coaching session within the supervision context. How do you know when you are a good enough coach?? was an amazing supervision question.
Paying attention to parallel processes in my coaching sessions...i.e. me doing with the client what he/she is doing in his/her life.
Continuing to note my own urges to advise and not coach.
This call was fantastic, thank you! I loved Sam’s introduction to and definition of supervision: in that it helps the beginner and master coach, increase the moments of mastery. Brilliant!
I will forever continue the process of supervision/mentor coaching in order to continue to be my best self, and best coach for my clients.
Loved learning about super-vision and the difference between that and mentor coaching.
How useful it is to have an observer of the observer!
Excellent learning opportunity
When we hope for but don’t see results in a session, we must remember that the client needs time to reflect. The learning and action most often come after the session.

Some of the participants take-aways:
Very powerful to witness such a major shift in the client when her own stated value early on was then applied later to a block she was experiencing!
Great questions that drilled down on clarifying the “goal”
I really liked her style, slow and clear language, great use of powerful questions, loved her presence, really felt the love and genuine care for the client.
This was a pure fulfillment call(CTI terminology)and a good reminder of how the use of values and acknowledgement lights up the client and helps her claim her most powerful self.
I especially liked the discussion around “difficult” clients during the Q & A.
I loved her use of the client’s metaphor with the tree example, and how she kept tying that back in through the entire session.
A reminder of how marketing can be fun if we focus on our gifts as coaches.
The skillful use of metaphor was very powerful for the client.
Use of intuition to decide best approach to proceed when at a crossroads in the coaching, things to factor in to whether to take one path or another
Redirecting/reframing using client’s values to help them figure out their course while being in alignment with their values
Assisting the client in identifying what is easy about a project and doing that first - when getting started is the issue
Executive, Leadership, Mentor & Coach Superviser Bonuses: Additional 15 minutes of Q&A, discount on programs
Coaching Scenario: Laurie and Heidi have coached together for about 5 years and then became colleagues.
Coaching Topic: The issue Heidi brought to the call was that due to a bad work situation, she changed her job/career. She has a colleague friend from that last job that calls her regularly to complain about the work situation and ask for advice. This is very stressful for her and causes her to keep reliving a difficult time. She knows it has to stop as it shifts her mood and effectiveness in her work now. She wants to decide if she just needs to end the relationship or discuss it with her. If the latter how to go about that.

Some of the participant take-aways:
This coaching session was a beautiful example of the coach’s ability to dance in the moment with the client’s energy. The client and coach moved from great depths to moments of lightness and levity without missing a beat.
Presence is the difference between PCC and MCC.
To trust that what I need as a coach is already inside me--to trust in my own value as a coach.
less notes, try to increase presence.
the safe container she created for Heidi to explore her somatic experience.
Reminder to use silence and allow intuition to be a tool, but to be careful about how questions are posed so as not to be directive.
Using personal values as a way to discuss the emotional conflict that arises in the conversations.
The way Laurie matched her client’s energy as it would shift, sometimes dramatically throughout the session.
How powerful patience and presence are.
That coaching is an embodiment—it’s not what I do as a coach but is who I am being
Invite client to notice wisdom of the body -- somatic sensations
that gentle, loving, careFULL approach, great call!

I’m proud and grateful that ICF/MCC coaches are in the world coaching at this level. And, hope for this (pure) kind of coaching to become more widespread in society.
An example of presence and ease in masterful coaching and the real power of increased awareness for the client
Beautiful conversation!
This extraordinary example of MCC level coaching! Jane did not speak much. Her presence was powerful. She was right with Perry, although silent much of the time, allowing him to do most the talking and asking particularly poignant questions.
The spectacular questions and patience allowing the coachee talking
Jane had a beautiful sense of presence with the client, it was such a smooth session, natural and flowed well. She empowered the client by giving him the space to work it through for himself.
I appreciated having the opportunity to hear an “internal coaching session”; I am not an internal coach and really appreciated this insiders view of how co-workers would coach each other!
This session deepened my overall experience as a professional coach.
Tunde Erdos MCC
Executive Coach Bonuses: Additional 30 minutes for Q&A and discussion on Tunde's new non-profit coaching documentary film: The Light & Shadow of Coaching - In and Beyond Organizations. Tunde also gave a copy of the transcript of the session.
This is a different kind of MMC call
On this call Tunde is allowing us to hear one of her coaching sessions that passed the ICF MCC exam! She then debriefs and answers questions. And she gives us an additional 30 minutes for discussion and Q&A.
Client scenario: This is one of Tunde's real-life, high-level executive clients. This was their second session.
Client topic: This client wants to know how to balance giving and receiving. She feels she gives a lot and would like to feel appreciated. How she can care for and serve others and at the same time care for herself without feeling selfish. She is able to analyze it but is unable to find the correct balance and to feel confident about it.

There is a balance between knowledge and the practical wisdom that comes from working with clients. Be curious about both science and practice.
To always have top of mind awareness of how present I am as well as my ability to show up authentically.
I can trust myself.
It is interesting how she mentioned that if she did the session now, she would use more silence to move progress faster.
Going after the limiting belief.
Appreciated Tunde’s comments about her documentary. Appreciated her challenge to coaches to pay attention to who we are becoming as well as demonstrating our capacity to be challenged.
A reminder of how important the somatic elements of a coaching session are and not to step over them.
You can give the client the choice to choose how to conduct the coaching. Ask the client if they want to sit, stand, move during the coaching
The energy between the client and coach was visceral and dynamic.
The topic is extremely valuable!
Tunde’s humility & learning focus
Her book on Coaching Presence focuses on non-verbal communication. My first thought is that this aligns with her comment about more silence.
I like how she built trust by respecting the client’s desire to move their coaching space
I struggle at times with the feeling to move the conversation in a direction that I think it should go. I like the reminder of silence helps me slow things down. Allow the client to think resulting in moving the conversation in their direction not mine.
So many valuable insights on presence and dancing with the client.

She is charismatic- everyone tells her she is very inspiring and should be a motivational speaker. She feels due to her experience and her gifts she has a lot to share and offer. She's finding it difficult to decide where to focus and how to articulate what she does.

I was very impressed with how Vicki got the client to move past her planned and prepared speech that she came to the call with. I can see how challenging that was, and I am walking away from this call with a great example of how to move a client like this to a much deeper level.
Inspiration from “observing” the elegance of “dancing in the moment” and the power of presence. Wow!
A reminder of how important it is to be centered for both the client and coach. An inquiry/reflection for me re: how to work with clients who are in their heads
I loved the moment in the beginning of the call, when Vicki asked the client to take a moment to center herself before beginning coaching. She then asked her how does she usually center herself, which got the client to pull from her past experiences, which I think provided her a moment of comfort, I will definitely borrow this specific technique to use with my clients.
Vicki really was able to allow the client to find her own way. It felt uncomfortable for me as I listened understanding my primal urge to jump in and lead or guide.
Exploring more options rather than drilling down too quickly for a solution
Asking the kind of questions that allow the client to do the work
Technique of helping client turn off their repetitive thought patterns by focusing on their bodies.
Judy Feld, MCC
Master Certified Executive & Professional Coach
Co-Author of Smart Match Alliances Bonus: Judy's5000 word article "Baby Boomers Escape Your Bubble"
Coaching Scenario: The client is not a coach and this was the first time she and Judy had ever met or spoken.
Coaching Topic: "I'm a Baby Boomer in life transition. I was married to a fairly successful man. I raised children and intermittently, had some great jobs, but my resume is spotty. After 40 years, the marriage has dissolved, dividing my nest egg in half, the stock market fell, dividing it in half again. Most of my friends are on on cruises, are winding down their lives, and cannot imagine going back to work. I've heard the job market is rough - and they are right - it's a jungle out there. Age discrimination is alive and well also. I believe I'm at a fork in the road (perhaps with several tines). I'm treading water with a tad bit of panic. I'm an excellent swimmer - if I can lay the panic aside and start some forward motion."

"Demonstration and validation of coaching at a level of true mastery."
"Noticing the questions the coach asked that were powerful in their simplicity. I will go back and listen to the call again and be conscious of the way she brought the client to explore deeper issues."
"Really powerful to learn the difference between MCC and PCC level use of reflection!"
"Wonderful call and demonstration of inquiry-wish we had longer to go through the 3 case studies for the skill drill"
"Great modeling of presence and new skill -Art of Inquiry"
"The use of inquiry structure to keep the question alive."
"The "discipline" of "holding back" on the part of the coach"
"This was a powerful reminder that clients have all the knowing they need inside them, we can't add any richness by leading or having an agenda for them, and that powerful questions are simple, short and open-ended."
Lynn Stewart MCC was scheduled to be the guest but she had a personal emergency but allowed us to listen to one of her previous recorded sessions from when she was a PCC. Fran who was Lynn's mentor coach joined us on the call and demonstrated master mentor coaching feedback.
2 demonstrations in one call- coaching and mentoring!
Coaching Scenario: Nelleka had coach training years ago but is not a coach. She and Lynn have know each other for 14 years and Lynn has coached her off and on over the years.

Hearing an assessor’s (Fran’s) feedback about this session was invaluable. I picked up so many useful tips for strengthening my own coaching!
I need to become more aware of my coaching patterns that may not be supporting the client.
I’ll be making sure my questions are truly open-ended and that I’m not leading the client in any way.
I loved the way Lynn set up the call in the beginning; she went deep, clarified and explored the agenda really quickly, it took it to another level. I also like that she explored all the possible options of where the session could go. I’m also taking away Lynn’s soft, yet strong/confident presence, and use of/paraphrasing of the clients own words, because of that it felt like she tracked well with the client.
I need to become more aware of my coaching patterns that may not be supporting the client.
Opened my eyes to the nuances as well, really interesting and would love to hear more!
I found Fran’s very specific constructive feedback followed then by how it might have been done differently unbelievably helpful.
Great examples of how not to lead the client.
Questions to ask that invite the client to do the work.
Wow Gail I got so much that I can implement right away. Helped me see where I need and want to grow.
Fran’s specificity helped me see very clearly what it is in my own coaching I need to work on. Watch out for those leading questions and acknowledging sounds or comments!
I found Lynn to be very present with her client and I felt the connection. I appreciated the way she checked in with the client and would repeatedly reflect back what she was hearing.
I will transcribe that entire debriefing.
Must always confirm with the client re my observations otherwise makes client feel that I’m right or that I think I am!
I’ll be making sure my questions are truly open-ended and that I’m not leading the client in any way.
Feel like I got a peek behind the scenes, the inner workings so to speak. I have a page full of takeaways.
Establishing the Coaching Agreement is where many coaches can get tripped up and can be the main reason for not passing the ICF exam. So this call is dedicated to exploring and delving deeply into this core competency as well as hearing Fran demonstrating it at the master level in a real coaching session with one her clients.
Fran says there are three things that are typically challenging at the MCC level regarding Establishing the Coaching Agreement, and they are KEY to the conversation:
1. HOW to take the client’s exploration DEEPER for their underlying issue and taking the time to do so
2. Measuring for success
3. Inviting the client to lead
Get ready to take this competency to the next level!
As special bonuses Fran gave us an additional 30 minutes to do this, she gave a hand-out which is a wonderful reource and the call provides 1.5 CEU's.

I am so very impressed at how Fran established that agreement! I have never heard such an in depth demo on the clarity and depth that could come out of establishing the agreement to that extent. Wow. That was very insightful. I now have a beautiful example of what to strive for, to really be of service to my clients.
Competency 2 is pivotal in going deeper with the client to hear what’s important or meaningful for that person
Don’t step over the energy shifts, incongruencies, as this is an opportunity to dive deeper
It’s not linear and Fran circled back to each [PCC] marker until the client was really clear and grounded in the agreement
Who is the client being in relation to the focus or issue they are bringing to the call.
Realising how I might be/ am leading clients - Having measures always with numbers - instead of how the client would measure where they are.
Moving from coaching the “What” to coaching the “Who”; the client.
Changing how I respond to the client’s answer to: How will you know if you have gotten your outcome?
Amazing demonstration and learning on how important it is to be patient and meet the client where they are, to fully explore what the client wants to achieve and the motivation underneath in defining the coaching agreement.
How overlooked the coaching agreement can be! How very important it is in defining and focusing the area(s) of coaching on what the client really wants. It IS the coaching!
Really nail it down and confirm topic, motivation, and outcome before moving on.
This was an extremely helpful call and a great reminder to up my game!

Some of the participant take-aways:
Ellen’s coaching was so masterful, she was so present, she stayed in the coach role and didn’t get tempted to get into Rich’s past and at the same time, she didn’t step over it. She was supportive with acknowledgements without being cheerleadery. She consistently used Rich’s own words and metaphors and by doing that Rich shifted his thinking and realized in those moments he has choice. She held the agenda, required the client to dig deep and the client was able to see and feel his power, he remembered he has the answers and he knows what he needs to do. I like how she stuck with the “being” and not the “doing”.
Despite the clients current financial stressors, a “messy” past, and having a very big goal, the session was light with laughter, it flowed very nice, and you could hear the shift in the clients’ voice and energy.
I really appreciated hearing an example of how to handle a moment where the language wasn’t landing for the client (“too coachy”), Ellen very masterfully noticed it, acknowledged it, and quickly corrected.
I thought the coach demonstrated great presence. When the client didn’t understand the questions she simply adapted--kept trying ways to discover language he did understand. Loved it when she said they were still learning their language together.
Careful when working with a new client to use language that is easy for them to access. Also how the taking of something big and drilling it into a smaller question is so tremendously empowering!
Strong coaching Presence and non-attachment to outcome. Ellen empathetically held space and asked questions to access the client's wisdom. She truly partnered with her client with patience and grace, causing a shift in his energy and perspective leading to his clarity and committed choice.
Executive Leadership & Career Coach Bonuses: Additional 30 minutes of Q&A and copy of the assessor's report
This is a different kind of MMC call
On this call Emily is allowing us to hear one of her coaching sessions that passed the ICF MCC exam! She then debriefs, shares the examiner's feedback and answers our questions! And she gives us an additional 30 minutes for discussion and Q&A.
Client scenario: This is one of Emily's real life clients who is not in the coaching profession. They coached together on and off for around 2 years.
Client topic: A core issue that’s played out in her professional life that she has made great strides on, is now showing up with her personal passion. She feels stuck, a sense of overwhelm and urgency around creating a blog and workshops etc. around capturing memories and cant figure out what to do first or when to do it.

Some of the participant take-aways:
The call today was exceptional!
This was so effective and felt like a clean version of me. Gives me hope!
Love the way the client drove the session so peacefully, it can be difficult even at the MCC level to let go of our well intentioned agendas
Beautiful at ease MCC coaching - plus deepening my understanding of the MCC
I “loved” what the coach said about leading with love for her clients. That love is one of her strongest values. It showed!
To take more time getting beneath what the client brings to the session to get to the actual agreement. To be better at co-creating an agreement with clients around a pre-session check in form.
To learn about the ICF MCC Qualification Process
This was a great session! It was very interesting to be able to listen to the session and then review the feedback from the ICF assessor’s perspective.
Not looking at the tip of the iceberg but going underneath, looking deeper.
Love these exam review calls as they make me a better assessor and mentor.
It was a very high level call
The importance of trusting the process. Being comfortable with silence, asking powerful questions.
Reminder of how to get to the coaching agreement without my natural curiosity pulling me down a rabbit hole.
Bonus: 30 additional minutes of discussion and Q&A at the end of the call on what it takes to go from a good coach to a great one
Coaching Scenario: The client is not in the coaching profession. She has had coaching in the past but this is the frist time that she and David have ever met or spoken.
Coaching Topic: "I am a 56-year-old getting started as a speaker/consultant on leadership issues in technical companies. I’ve written a book, gotten a nice sparkly website, but my biggest issue is “imposter syndrome”. I still have that feeling that I have no business advising anyone on leadership issues, even though I have an MBA, plenty of management experience, and plenty of compliments on my insights and abilities with people. And of course, I’ve written a book on leadership! But still there’s that voice whispering to me “nah, not you, hon”. That’s what I’m looking to get past."

Some of the participant take-aways:
It was a pleasure to observe such powerful coaching! One of the best coaching demonstrations. I loved the authenticity and boldness of his coaching.
Brilliant coaching! David not only challenged the client, he challenged me to think about how I can add more value as a coach. His provocative comments about the future of coaching should be heeded by every coach.
Coaching is more than helping create insight for the client. It’s also about helping the client to take action by getting “ridiculously specific” regarding the steps he/she will take and the “speed bumps” that may get in the way.
Inspiration and a model for truly masterful coaching. Impressive work! I will listen to this session again.
How boldness is the gateway to great coaching.
I am committed to paying more attention to when I turn away from an opportunity to take a risk with a client.
Both client and coach were dynamic!
Other valuable lessons I learned: be willing to be wrong more, be aware of the power dynamic in coaching, and challenge my clients more.
Use of humor, reframing, digging with depth to achieve insight
His coaching presence, in terms of presentation and content, was masterful.
Be confident enough to be wrong. Find the issue and then anchor it.
David Goldsmith's was a guest again for a different kind of call & an MMC first!
Please note: extended call time (to 90 minutes) & how this call was different!
David was a guest in January (the above call) and coached a woman not in the coaching profession, who has had some coaching in the past but this was the first time she and David had ever met or spoken. This call is a participant favorite!
David coached her again on this call as a follow-up session.
The coaching was conducted similarly to the way coaches train the pro athletes by breaking down and examining the action play by play. So David coached in a start and stop fashion giving us the opportunity in the moment to engage with David, the client and the coaching in a very participatory way.

Wow! What a beautiful coaching session and life lesson!
That paraphrasing fears to the point of ridiculousness brings levity to a situation and allows the client to reset.
The impact of reflecting as a mirror the words of the client so that they can hear it.
The importance of listening to one’s gut in deciding in which direction to go during the session
Clients will reveal where the coaching conversation can go deep. Not helpful for coaches to be too nice--okay to provoke/challenge client’s thinking.
Not being afraid to try different things to get to that “thing”; that will be of value and get results.
It is always a pleasure to observe David and his powerful coaching! Thank you for having him back again. I learn so much from him.
I admire his confidence in his own intuition; and how he is not attached to being right, he simply “has a hypothesis” and tests it out. It is such a masterful tool, and this is what I strive to always connect to in my coaching sessions.
He modeled brilliantly how to step over the potential therapy issues regarding her past, but used the depth and pain from those experiences in a coaching framework.
The logic and simplicity David used to shed light into the unconscious fears / beliefs.
Libby Graves MBA, MCC
Master certified Leadership Development & Executive Career/Life Transition Coach Bonus: An additional 30 minutes for more debriefing and Q&A
Client Scenario: This is one of Libby's real-world clients. They have worked together for about 2 years.
Client Topic: He is a dentist in the military. He realizes the questions he’s been asking “What do I do next and How do I continue along the path of self-development for a particular job?” are not the right questions. The better ones are “What kinds of roles do I foresee for myself that allow me to be authentic in who I am? And “knowing who I am and taking an inventory of the leaders I have available to me, how do I leverage those into the next level?”
This was one of our ICF MCC exam sessions
We got to hear one of Libby's coaching sessions that passed the ICF MCC exam along with a review of the examiner's feedback. Followed by a debriefing and Q&A.

Some of the participant take-aways:
Excellent call today which exemplified truly masterful coaching!
Inward circles of deepened awareness vs spinning circles of repetition.
Her good example of pinpointing the coaching agreement.
how well she packaged together a summary from what her client said. Also, I like the wording, “What progress do you feel you’re making?” regarding the coaching session.
Clients are supported when they feel a sense of trust and safety in the coaching relationship, and when they are given plenty of space to engage in deep exploration and the time to process what’s uncovered.
To be completely comfortable in a space of not know knowing--to let whatever unfolds appear--to let go of any need to have “the” answers.
Maintaining Presence is what stood out for me. I often have to calm myself, to be more present. This was helpful.
Self-management and patience with the process of uncertainty of outcome.
Inward circles of deepened awareness vs spinning circles of repetition.
A new tool “allow the story telling” for retirement transitioning clients.
the completeness of the ending - I can learn a lot from this, going deeper even as I am moving to close.
The power of coaching to help clients develop and grow strong belief in themselves.
Discussion of tools was really helpful; for example, use of “Life Story” in setting baseline and connecting with clients to help them feel heard and understood.
It's always valuable to hear a session that passed the MCC exam.
Executive & Leadership Coach Bonus: 15 minute discussion on a topic Sarah is passionate about. "We are losing too many great coaches & potential great coaches in our profession because they don’t know how to make a living as a coach." She explained and gave us her methodology that we can use to get to a "Happy Yes" when building a robust coaching business.
Coaching Scenario: The client is not a coach, he has never been coached before and he and Sarah met for the 1st time on the call.
Coaching Topic: "I am the founder and CEO of a financial group, a registered investment advisory firm. I started the firm when I was 24, and became the younger founder of an RIA firm in the State of Ohio’s history. I’ve been featured in Forbes, Business Insider, the Washington Post, CNN Business, Authority Magazine, etc. And I really don’t say that to brag, in fact, it’s quite the opposite. I say that because I have horrible imposter syndrome. I just feel like a fraud because I’m not as experienced or as smart as other people and I am too young to be running an investment firm. I am the youngest person at my company. Think about how crazy it is that the CEO of the company is the youngest and least experienced of the whole company."

"Gail, I just listened back to this recording between Sarah Happel MCC and Ryan. It was magnificent. I re-learnt what it means to be an MCC and Sarah modelled her capacity as MCC brilliantly. I came away buoyed and keen again to rekindle my love affair with improving my MCCness. Thank you for your magnificent resource." ~Executive Coach, Tara Nolan MCC
"A powerful demonstration of presence, curiosity, and partnering with the client."
"When a client seems challenged in coming up with an outcome--jumps around a lot--I want to stay with the client. I want to dance with the client as a true partner--fully present and curious about what’s really wanted."
"I really appreciated some of the questions the coach asked. I also appreciated her response when the client seemed to be asking her advice or making references to therapy."
"Outstanding call!"
"Very helpful discussion about the business of coaching."
"Sarah’s simplicity and easy going questioning style."
“Don’t get sucked into the situation. Focus on what it’s like for the client to be in that situation.”
"Let the client lead"
"Great example of pure coaching and helping clients to figure things out for themselves."
"The way she held the client accountable and tossed it back to him to solve his own issues and not give advice.
"I have clients as Im sure we all do that can be all over the place. Getting to see how masterfully Sarah handled it, was a real gift!"

Coaching Topic: She is a film director and loves her career. She feels she's doing all the right things but she’s not moving ahead, she's been on one level for many years. She knows there needs to be a change, feels something within is blocking her.

Outstanding call! So much was accomplished in just 30 minutes. I felt each question moved her forward skillfully and sensitively, without feeling rushed.
The value of coaching--holding the space to create clarity around vision and obstacles to achieving it. Powerful stuff!
I got a lot out of it for my own personal development. Thank You!
Simple, graceful and powerful coaching. Margie was masterful at bringing the client fully in touch with the depth of her passion and purpose. This helped the client break through her stuckness
Loved the use of the I AM model.
Never quite saw intention setting done in this way. I'm going to borrow it!
Good post discussion on process and values
Importance of doing "values" work in coaching
I want to continue accessing this kind of call. Its very interesting.
Patricia Hirsch NCOC, MCC
Master Certified Executive Personal Coach Bonus: 20% off Patricia's ongoing 8 teleclass series for women over 40- Conversations With Women: From Knowledge to Wisdom. Also Thomas Leonard's Client Coachability Index
Coaching Scenario: The client is not a coach and this was the first time she and Patricia had ever met or spoken.
Coaching Topic: She has self published a book on infidelity-contains stats etc. but is very user friendly with lots of humor. She has been on both sides of the fence, been cheated on and has cheated. So has the advantage of being able to see both sides and the book is not condemning or judging. She feels the need is around re-education and personal accountability. She'd like to start an Infidelity Campaign (for example something like MADD) - nationwide, worldwide, whatever direction it may take. She's a theatre arts major, wants to get out from behind the computer and out in the world talking to everyday people about it. She feels stuck but like she's on the verge and just needs to get over the hump.

One of the participants- a monthly subscriber had this to say:
My takeaway was related to how amazing coachable clients are and the vastly different ways they can be legitimately and profoundly served. This session really opened my eyes to this other modality and has made me curious to know more. It was a powerful experience that enriched and deepened my knowledge-base. I think it is very important to keep growing and learning and always beneficial to be exposed to new things and stretch out of my comfort zone."
~Jackie Black PhD, BCC
And here are just some of the other participants takeaways:
A reminder of how cool the ontological approach is, bringing a client to focus on who they are being, not the problem.
After 10 plus years of coaching - I need to get back to basics!
The use of somatic focus to help clients break out repetitive thinking patterns that they may find themselves stuck in.
How important body awareness is to clarity.
The value of using the ontological framework in coaching. I use this all the time, and appreciated the creative way it was approached here to get the client out of her ''story.''
That interrupting the client firmly but with compassion has value. This was well demonstrated.
The value of tuning in to the body and emotions to help the client understand who they are being.
Annette Hurley MCC, BCC
Master Certified Executive Leadership, Wellness & Mentor Coach Bonus: an additional 30 minutes on the call for extra Q&A
Coaching Scenario: The client is a coach who is a PCC preparing for her MCC. This is the first time that she and Annette have ever met or spoken.
Coaching Topic: "I'm challenged by how much/when/how to balance my own coaching voice and presence with trusting the client to take the lead. While I have invested time to listen and learn from MCCs, even they have PCC moments so it is difficult to know whether or not I am taking the ICF rubric too literally or appropriately examining my behaviors to ensure I'm moving out of PCC/virtuoso habits. One of my teachers said "what got you here [PCC] won't get you there [MCC]" but though I have identified what's holding me back I've yet to surmount it."

Some participant take-aways:
Annette clearly has many years of coaching experience and wisdom. I enjoyed the extra 30 minutes to debrief....that time was very valuable to hear how the coachee and the coach processed.
I really enjoyed the discussion we had in the Q&A regarding the clients expectations of discussing/solving her common stuck-point, when the microphone gets passed to her, and how this coaching conversation mirrored the challenge she’s been working on “ the client expecting the coach to solve their problem”. Great discussion!
Annette’s “inquiry” at the end resonated with me and is a question that I believe will be important for me to consider as I continue to develop.
Inspired to reflect on my goals as a coach. Curious to review “rules” for PCC and MCC and then use this to re-assess my skills and set intentional goals to continue self-improvementThank you for a thought provoking topic!
Using my presence as a tool to self manage. I want to continue to hone my coaching presence and I move toward the MMC level of coaching
Was a great learning experience. Loved the discussion following the call!
Investing the time to co-create the relationship. The art of pacing the conversation so a potential energetic shift may occur
The journey to MCC is about self-managing. I will commit to focusing more on how i can use “pure” coaching with my clients who want me to offer consultative help, even if it’s uncomfortable.
Diana Ideus MCC

On this call Diana is allowing us to hear one of her coaching sessions that passed the ICF MCC exam! She then debriefs, shares the examiner's feedback and answers our questions! And she gives us an additional 30 minutes for discussion and Q&A.
Coaching Scenario: Diana and this client worked for the same coaching company for years, including a few years where she was Diana’s direct report. They have continued their friendship and remain in each other's support network, which includes occasional coaching sessions.

Some of the particpant take-aways:
All of it! But I think the length of the silence is what intrigued me most, allowing the client the time to process and write things down, and letting go of the feeling of having the next question, and just BEING WITH the client.
Ask brief questions using their words. See them on stage holding a microphone and me in the audience.
How brilliantly Diana was present and yet not taking up “space”--she aerated the call with possibilities for the client to process, reflect, and take notes.
Get this woman back for another MMC call!
Every coach needs to hear this call.
Her contracting extended for much of the call... was always aware of it!
My biggest takeaways from this call were the coaches presence and use of silence, and the awesome pacing…Absolutely loved this session, what a great Master Coach!
The power of summarizing and recapping periodically to make sure we’re tracking with the client, while also sharing observations and making distinctions to facilitate their reflection.
Diana brilliantly demonstrated the effectiveness of brief, powerful questions that literally took the client’s breath away!
the deep, deep silence
I better understand what it means to meet the client where they’re at vs. pushing them ahead by teaching new concepts!
This not only reinforced my direction, it demonstrated there’s even a deeper level beyond what I’ve been achieving.

Some of the participant's take-aways:
The masterful way in which Diana asked the questions so that Jason identified his own solutions
recognizing and noting changes in tone more often.
"what do you want to keep?"
Usefulness of acknowledging voice tone and body changes in clients as they discuss certain topics. This observation can help inform what should be pursued and how.
Use the clients metaphors, beautiful demo of doing so.
Diana really did the dance and listened. Took her time and paused to form thoughtful questions.
Coaches vulnerability to share she didn’t pass ICF test 1st time.
Paid attention to clients use of, piggybacked and built off metaphors to tie back and move client forward.
The Demonstration of using more questions about client feeling something in their body/the emotion.
Very clear and concise questions!
A powerful demonstration of the ICF Competencies.
Verbalizing a client’s energy/energy shifts/tone...
keeping in mind to check in with client about awareness being created during the process
Excellent book she wrote, I ordered it after visiting her website.
Master Certified Executive, Leadership & Mentor Coach Bonus: Judy's book: Living Courageously in a Changing World: 101 Tips for Authentic Success
Judycoached 2 clients for us!
Coaching Scenario 1: The 25 minute session was with a man who had never been coached before and this was the first time he and Judy had ever met or spoken:
Coaching Topic 1: "Even after 18 years in business, with a 500 page book about to be published on internet marketing and almost too many customers, I have no quality of life. I would like assistance with working with my employees -how to inspire them to be more empowered and to respect me more as boss so that I am able to achieve more life balance."
One participant on the call said to Judy:
"What you did was a brilliant example of coaching the system by inviting the client to look at his part in the system and how he creates his reality. I don't think he had the understanding of his part in the system, he was seeing the system in disparate pieces."
Coaching Scenario 2: This laser session was with a woman who has been coached before in branding & speaking. This was the first time she and Judy had ever met or spoken:
Coaching Topic 2: "I am an author and leader of a popular networking organization in Indianapolis. I would like a better understanding of how to navigate the road to go from where I am now to getting on talk shows and regular paid speaking engagements."

"Thank you for bringing Joelle K. Jay to your Master Coaching call. While I was listening to her session, I said to myself, “Now there is a master coach!” It seems that she lives and breathes the core competencies without a shred of artifice or seeming efforting. She’s just there with the client as a clear partner, calling the client to her greatness. Her respect for her client was palpable, while she deftly crafted the structure of the session with lightness AND firmness at the same time – all in service to her client’s goals and always dancing in the moment. She kept bringing the client back to her vision, holding the space for the client to hone what she wanted and then to explore how to get there. She asked the client to stay in touch with her feelings in the process, thus helping her anchor to what was most important to her and maximizing her empowerment. And all of this was done with joy and a distinct sense of fun. The client commented on that after the call. To my mind that’s mastery!" ~Bobbie Burdett, Bcc, PCC (applicant), Director of Training HealthWorld Online, www.authenticoach.com
"WOW ~ this call was wonderful for me. I heard so many coaching tools used at a high level which really resulted in the client reaching her brilliance and coming away with significant direction. I was also personally assisted in my own growth by putting myself in the chair of the client and asking what does this have to do with me and my own needs around the same issue. I took away strategies and tools for myself from the work of these two together today."~D Petersen, BCC Coaching for Well Being
Maggie Joao MCC
Executive, Medical, Mentor Coach & Coach Supervisor Bonus: Additional 15 minutes for Q&A and review of examiner's feedback and scoring.
This is a different kind of call!
We heard one of Maggie's coaching sessions that passed the ICF MCC exam along with a review of the examiner's feedback and scoring. Followed then by a debriefing and Q&A with the Master Coach.
The coaching session runs approximately 21 minutes. So this was the first time we will hear a session under 30 minutes that met all the requirements to pass.
Please Note extended call time. Maggie gave us a bonus 15 minutes in order to have plenty of time.
Coaching Scenario: Maggie and Kamila didn’t really know each other before this session but they were both coaches and trainers for the same training provider. So Maggie invited her to be the client and of course thesession passed and Maggie received her MCC last year (2020).
Coaching Topic: She is redefining her business to include not just working with her clients but to package her knowledge into eBooks, books and recordings. She feels her “willing” is much higher than her doing. It’s very important to her to come up with steps that she not only wants to take but will take.

Some of the participant's take-aways:
A beautiful demonstration of trust and intimacy and powerful questioning. It can be a great opportunity for the client’s growth to ask challenging questions. Notice patterns and put it on the table asking, “what does this mean for you?”;
I loved what Maggie said at the end: 1. Trust yourself; 2. Trust the process/system/partnership; 3. Be in service; 4. Enjoy the ride. This is how I attempt to and want to approach every coaching conversation.
There’s some comfort in hearing that even a coach at the MCC level has to stay vigilant about coaching the person and not the problem.
How to dance with a Client during the session:
To be focused on using client’s metaphors
I love these MCC exam passing calls!!! Keep them coming!! Thanks!!
How simplicity can work magic in coaching a client to move forward efficiently and with conviction.
Coaching does not need to be hard... You can keep it simple, take it one step at a time, and be with your client. This resulted in a very efficient, and elegant session which delivered results for this client.
Just love these sessions, Gail - so real and so helpful as I evolve as a coach.
The power to explore the client’s metaphor in birthing her plans. The power of expansive questions that created intimacy and trust in a very short time.
Pay attention to the patterns during the session and lay them out on the table. Keep only a few notes – clients’; words that have meaning for them and perhaps a pattern around them. Loved her last 4 pieces of wise advice.
Make sure I am checking in with the client to ensure the session is meeting the client’s goals.
The impact of using metaphors, client’s words and short questions. Check with the client on the progress during the session
Helping clients connect what excites them to what their next steps might be in pursuing their goals.
Incredible session! The ease and simplicity of it was brilliant.
The coaching session was seamless and highly effective in only 22 minutes. No need to prolong things when the coach is skilled! The client got exceptional value.
Spend more time on the agreement with the client. Make sure the contracting is solid.
Just love these sessions, Gail - so real and so helpful as I evolve as a coach.

Coaching Scenario: Joseph is not in the coaching profession, has never been coached before and this is the first time he and Terrie have ever met or spoken
Coaching Topic: "I get 95% of a project completed, and then won't finish the rest. I
have several books that are "almost done". I wrote business plans and then shelved them. I can easily finish projects for other people and other businesses, but when It comes to me, I often let things fall by the sidelines.A lot of times I get distracted by new projects. What's the block, what is stopping me from getting things done? Im very skilled with lots of education, why cant I finish things?"

Some of the participant take-aways:
How powerful simply holding space for a client to explore really can be, especially when done with lightness!
I’m taking away joy with Terrie's coaching! Effortless, light & true impact.
Just that master's touch - giving power to the client, light but deep, EASY!
Terrie beautifully and lightly accompanied Joseph in his exploration...she articulated and pointed to areas that were coming up in the exploration that he may not have been aware of, to help him decide where to focus their time. He was really the ''star'' of this session. Also loved what she said about getting trapped as coaches listening too closely to the words but to listen to the energy as well as the words...loved that.
I am going to try to wear the metaphor of my client being the ''star'' and me being the able reflector and observer, lightly accompanying him on his journey and pointing things out along the way. I quite like that.
Continue to stay curious, get agreement from the client, check in with the client, acknowledge, and go deeper--not rush to strategies and/or problem solving.
And you can see Terrie's call where she and 2 other Master Coaches coach the same client back to back under the "3 MCC" tab
Sam Magill MCC
Executive, Leadership & Coach Supervisor for this call Special Bonus: the call is extended for an additional 30 minutes to cover the elements below.
This was a different kind of call & an MMC first!
2 MCCs for the price of one!
Sam begins by talking to us about coaching supervision, his passion and area of expertise.
Then we hear Sherryl T. Christie coaching one of her real world executive clients
Sam then demonstrates what he talked about and actually supervises Sherryl
Finally there's a Q&A
Coaching Scenario: Mike the client, is an executive and he and Sherryl have been coaching together off and on since 2011. They have been on a bit of a hiatus and so this is the first session theyve had for about 7 months.
Coaching Topic: Mike says his pattern has been to micro manage and take on things that other people arent handling well but knows it’s not sustainable or in the best interest of anyone. He's given an employee a huge project but feels this employee has a similar pathology. The project is not going well and the team is having problems with him. Mike says he’s always been of the mindset “accomplish the mission at any cost” and tends to be a direct bottom line kind of guy. He really wants to know how to approach this differently so that he can help the employee to develop his skillset and grow while also accomplishing the goals of the company.

Some of the participant take-aways:
Super-vision! Love it! Thanks to Sam and Sherryl for this learning experience!
Gratefulness to witness 2 coaching sessions one being supervision of an MCC. Wow!
How, when direct communication is done with the intent of helping the client get back on track, it can be very powerful.
Thank you for integrating supervision and doubling the MCCs, I so appreciate the variety and complexity.
As Sheryl spoke about, I am often ahead of my clients and need to slow down even more.
Great to listen to the coaching session within the supervision context. How do you know when you are a good enough coach?? was an amazing supervision question.
Paying attention to parallel processes in my coaching sessions...i.e. me doing with the client what he/she is doing in his/her life.
Continuing to note my own urges to advise and not coach.
This call was fantastic, thank you! I loved Sam’s introduction to and definition of supervision: in that it helps the beginner and master coach, increase the moments of mastery. Brilliant!
I will forever continue the process of supervision/mentor coaching in order to continue to be my best self, and best coach for my clients.
Loved learning about super-vision and the difference between that and mentor coaching.
How useful it is to have an observer of the observer!
Excellent learning opportunity
When we hope for but don’t see results in a session, we must remember that the client needs time to reflect. The learning and action most often come after the session.

Some of the participant take-aways:
"I was surprised by Meg's humble attitude about her mastery. I could relate to her struggle with her perfectionism and confidence about her session. I appreciated her discussion about how natural that is as a coach, and how we often are very hard on ourselves immediately after a session thinking what we could have, or should have done differently. Her sharing her experiences of clients returning and reporting back the positive feelings they had the following week after the call, and the importance of just being with them in the process, and not being attached to the outcome, is something we all need to continue to work on, and I will remember listening in on this master. Thank you Meg, for your transparency."
"I really liked Megs consistent use of the clients own language throughout the entirety of the session. I loved how (in coaching with the client), she distinguished the difference between "best fit" "most sense" and "calling".
"This coach was very "real" & a masterful accompaniment of the client, meeting her where she needed to be and creating a safe space for exploration."
"Superb establishing the agreement"
"Loved Meg's transparency with her own process, encouraging us all to simply let go and trust the process....that's enough."
"I really liked Meg's technique of having the client write down the "ingredients to her recipe". That's where I heard a major shift in her thinking."
" Highly beneficial"
"Great model of using energy on a phone call"
Megs 2nd call which demonstrated coach mentoring from a Master who has also served as an ICF assessor.
This was a different kind of MMC call. We first heard a PCC coach who is going for her MCC conducting a live coaching session with one her real world clients. We then heard Meg mentor her. As a bonus we had an additional 30 minutes to make sure we had plenty of time to delve in, debrief and get all of our questions answered.
Coaching Scenario: Tara is a leadership & top teams coach and she brought her client Veronica who is not in the coaching profession to the call to be coached.
Coaching Topic: Veronica wants to explore her re awakening desire to study again and the underlying reasons as to why she’s tempted to study. Is it something she’s really yearning for and a good idea or is it just a fanciful idea that she will get soon become disenchanted with?

Some of the participant take-aways:
“Meg was so supportive, acknowledging and encouraging. She provided such refined and nuanced insights”
“DYNAMITE!!”
“The simplicity, prioritizing space for the client’s awareness, the high awareness of the client’s voice/energy.”
“To get agreement by fully exploring what the client really wants. This exploration is coaching. If I do this well, other competencies will fall into place.”
“Really liked the coaching demonstration—thought it was masterful. The mentor coaching following was icing on the cake!”
“I really appreciated Meg’s debrief of the client - taking the time to go deeper with her.”
“another example of coaching with competencies in mind”
“How valuable and important mentoring is. It can help you see things you were unaware of- shed new insights, take you deeper into your understanding or just help you to finesse the coaching!”
“Inspired by masterful mentoring”
“I liked the way Meg spent more time with the client, exploring her experience more deeply.”
” Right off the bat, I liked how Meg set up the session for Tara. , it’s amazing how that one little step right at the beginning of a mentor call, can provide centering, presence, and ease stress/pressure off the coach.
Christine Martin MCC
Master Certified Executive Coach Bonus: Article: How Feeling Ambivalent Can Improve Your Decisions (EI and the research)
Coaching Scenario: The client is a coach but this is the first time that she and Christine have ever met or spoken.
Coaching Topic: About 10 years ago, I started on a journey in the world of positive psychology by taking a prestigious masters program and working to bring that to the world of business through speaking, coaching, consulting and training. However, I have not done that. Despite ideas for several books, engagements, ways to market myself, and a deep belief that I have something great to offer the world, I have sat around and done nothing except get a decade older and watch my kids grow up. I am doing a few small things, but would love to take my game up to the global stage.

Some of the participant take-aways:
"I loved when she said one has to practice coaching without the need to help. The ability to stay apart, but become connected."
"I saw the importance of the coach allowing the client to see her humanity as a way of connecting with the client"Challenge of addressing client issues that are similar to our own."
"To remind myself of my own bias and to be mindful of how it might color my coaching."
"The importance of building relationship with the client through connection and vulnerability"
"Coaching is not about helping or fixing. Coaching is about discovery."
"I loved Christine’s transparency with the client, sharing the mirror effect that was occurring for her."
"Establishing what the client wants to get from the session is the most crucial thing to do in a session."
"Resisting the temptation to offer my own story/experience."
"I found the discussion about what the coach shared about her own journey interesting. I would have liked more time to discuss this."

Some of the participant's take-aways:
Both coach and client brought their authentic selves to the coaching conversation. The ease with which they engaged was a demonstration of their high-trust relationship.
Trusting myself and my intuition and putting it out there without explanation or asking permission. The coach modeled great confidence and trust.
I appreciated the conversation around external/internal processors and prep forms. I also like the tip shared by the coach--the fastest way to more masterful coaching is to listen to a recording of my coaching and assess it.
1. Brief questions 2. Gentle Coaching presence 3. Coach the person, not the situation
Allowing spaciousness for the client.
To focus more on the contracting process to ensure clients understand what coaching is and isn’t--including coach and client roles and responsibilities.
The power of using words the client uses.
Building trust in the relationship allows for the coach to be more themselves in the call.
When clients feel fear (like I am afraid I will never be able to sing again), to lean into the fear and not avoid it. The question, what if you couldn’t sing again, was a great question that had the client really feel this fear.
simple, easy, space
More room, slow down (as always), the power of letting the client play around with their awareness.
I think the portion of the call that spoke to suicidal intervention was really interesting.
Giving the client the time and room via the silences to tap into their own brilliance.
Want to learn more about coaching suicide awareness- a valuable skill to have not only for clients but for life in general.
Michael revealing his learning around the affirming noises he made. The way he explained why it’s not beneficial to the client was eye opening, loved it! Will be more watchful in my own coaching.
Master Certified Executive & Leadership Coach Allan is the author of Out of the Question: How Curious Leaders Winand co-author of the Amazon Top 100 bestseller, Bold Moves: Jump to Outstanding Self-Managed Action and the corporate workbook, Empathy: Connecting with the Customer.
Bonus: his Amazon #1 bestselling book- Bold Moves: Jump to Outstanding Self Managed Action. This interactive online journal version allows us to record our thoughts, actions, ideas on the right margin in relation to our next bold move.
Coaching Scenario:My goal for this series is for us to have the opportunity to hear as many different types of situations as possible and this call provided a different and first time scenario! One of Allan's previous high level executive clients was scheduled for the call. However she didn't show and I found out later that she hadn't taken the different timezone into account. So anyway one of the participants stepped up and had the good fortune of being coached by Allan on the call.
The scenario is that Allan was anticipating coaching a client he knows and in a niche that is his forte. So we got to witness his mastery at being able to switch on a dime, maintain profound presence and prove that if you are masterful you can coach anyone.
Coaching Topic: Sarah's book is at the publishers and will be coming out in the next month or so. She has qusetions, concerns and fears about the steps that she needs to take to successfully launch the book.

Here are some of the participant takeaways:

"How Allan skillfully focused on her emotional tone and was able to partner with her so that she could begin to celebrate her achievement"
"A gratitude for Allan's beautiful presence as a coach"
"It was very good coaching. Im taking away how important it is to dance in the moment as Alan and Sarah did!"
"How crucial self-management, as a coach is to the ability to be fully present for the client. Also the importance of curiosity and powerful questions in shifting the conversation towards new perspectives."
"Excellent coaching works in a variety of contexts -- from executive to entrepreneur to life."
"Great reminders on self management and the "clean white room"."
"Use of probing questions to address limiting beliefs."
Jim Milner MBA, BCC, MCC

Some of the participant take-aways:
Incredible call! One of the very best ever.
When asking where a feeling is showing up in the client’s body, follow it with a 2nd question: “what is that telling you?” Triples the impact!
I was tremendously impressed with how Jim responded each time the client asked to be told how to do something - i.e. “what would you have me tell you?” That tapped right into the client’s wisdom!
Jim talked about investing time to deeply build the coaching agreement.
Another perspective to the core competencies
To be comfortable with silence. To ask “what else?”
I am taking way Jim’s approach to building the coaching agreement, which does not need to happen all in the first few minutes of the session.
My biggest take away from this call was watching the process of believing in the client in full-force. The coach held the space, and the belief that the client had his own answers even in those moments when the client felt most “stuck”, and repeatedly wanted the coach to “tell me what to do” or “what’s the right answer for my problem”? Jim Milner stuck to the core competency, and simply continued to put the question back on the client. The client dug deep, experienced vulnerability; hit some core emotional pieces and will ultimately have accountability and personal responsibility, which is at the core of personal growth; all thanks to this call with Jim
Coaching questions and the core competencies
That coaching can transcend diversity. This was stated so beautifully. Also, the importance of the coaching agreement. “Coaching without an agreement is a conversation”.
To trust the process of coaching and to trust myself through that process.
This was an excellent call!
Revisiting the coaching agreement when the client seems to be deviating off topic.
To paraphrase and then ask a thought provoking question.
I will continue to commit to do my best to ALWAYS honor the client as the expert of their life, and stand my ground when the client pushes back hard. This is authentic and genuine “tough-love” in service of the client and their beautiful journey. Lovely demonstration to witness.
Leadership & Executive Coach Bonus: An additional 30 minutes of Q&A

Some of the participant's take-aways:
Cathy’s call was incredible. I loved her coaching presence, powerful questions, and the way she built off the client responses to dive deep. It was transformational coaching at its best.
Introducing myself to myself; Questions: What would you want the child to forgive yourself for? Who do you need to be to come face to face with yourself? I found value in what the coach said about working with clients who may not be as emotionally intelligent as this client: to speak their language.
How much our clients' “topics” often are a reflection of our own experiences as a Coach. The importance of introducing myself to myself!
I especially appreciated the partnership as equals that Cathy and Thomas co-created. Thank you!
Lovely, evocative exploration between client and coach, which enabled client to reclaim parts of his inner child and face his fears.
Masterful coaching results when we learn to master ourselves; we move beyond thinking about or doing the process of coaching. We become the process--we live it. The coach demonstrated this. She was present and had trust and rapport with her client. A beautiful dance ensued as the coach listened deeply, asked powerful questions, and the client responded with an open heart.
This call was a powerful example of a coach who trusts her intuition and abilities as an empath.
Takeaway -- remember that I am more than just a coach -- bring my whole self into the coaching relationship.
eloquence and ease
That using scales can sometimes be valuable
Great call exemplifying masterful coaching methodology and process.
Integrating emotional intelligence into work as well as technique of practicing turning statements into questions.
I’ve always been a bit reticent to work with client metaphors as I can sometimes get lost, but loved the way Cathy did that and it has encouraged me to explore that more.
I thought the call was very beneficial.
This was an amazing and powerful coaching session!
This affirms the power of coaching, and that as I continue to grow in confidence and the art of coaching, I see the wonderful road I am on. This client is incredibly open and receptive to wherever the session goes.
Great observations about what was going on in the client’s body language
