Coaching Skills in Action: Practice Workshop with 3 Real-Life Scenarios
October 15 and 22, 2025 from 12 noon to 3 pm Eastern Time
Take your coaching mastery to the next level in this immersive, hands-on experience designed to help you apply and embody the ICF Core Competencies at the MCC level. Building on insights from previous 2025 events (though not required), this session offers a unique opportunity to put your learning into action, refine your skills, and explore the nuances of depth, partnership, and powerful questioning—key to coaching at the highest level. Through engaging discussions, small-group exploration, and real-time coaching demonstrations, you’ll deepen your understanding of what it truly means to coach the BEING, not just the DOING. You’ll also gain valuable insight into the MCC Anchors document and showing how this document can be a valuable resource for greater depth of understanding, learning and growth.

What You’ll Gain:
Master the Art of Presence – Learn to be observant, empathetic, and fully responsive to your client. Expand Your Coaching Depth – Move beyond surface-level coaching to explore values, identity, and deeper motivations.
Enhance Your Flexibility & Confidence – Develop a coaching style that is open, spontaneous, and deeply connected.
Deepen Your Understanding of MCC Anchors – Unpack ICF Core Competencies and Behavioral Anchors to refine your coaching approach.
Coaching Demos + Debriefs – See MCC-level coaching in action and receive real-time feedback on your own practice.

This was another great session. I loved the pre-summit coaching example, and I thought framing the three sessions around the 3 key reasons (do the inner work, understand the ICF core competencies, and know where to go for help) was a really helpful structure. Annie tied each session to the new core competencies in a really meaningful way. The group discussion was also excellent. I'm excited to listen to event 3!

I participated in all of the events this year, and they were all SUPER! Although I am not planning to apply for an MCC, I DO want to be a masterful coach. This was my first deep dive into attempting to understand what it means to be an MCC. You can't get that from reading a book or attending a 90-minute webinar. This series was comprehensive, provided depth, and helped me to grasp the intangible skills that are the hallmarks of true masterful coaching. Thank you!

Annie created and delivered a powerful program on the impact of silence in coaching. The group discussions and examples were very helpful to me. As an ACC on my journey to PCC, I was inspired by higher level coaches continuing to grow their skills, being willing to share what they're working on, and the encouragement to continue to grow no matter what your certification level. Witnessing skilled MCC's gives me something to aim for in my coaching. The added bonus of the "Why" content was a nice surprise. It highlighted how our "Why" may be a bias for our coaching. Thank you Annie and all the participants. I highly recommend this program, it's an excellent value.

Annie's presentation was both thoughtful, thorough and informative. As a coach working for my PCC I believed that I was an effective coach. It is now apparent that I have so much more to learn, and put into practice. I will be a far better coach because of this program.
