Mentor Coaching — Beyond the Minimum Standard

The ICF requires 10 total mentor coaching hours with only 3 hours minimum one-on-one. Many offerings split the remaining hours into group sessions. This page is for coaches who want depth—not dilution.

My offer exceeds the minimum required by ICF.

When you work with me, you receive 10 full hours of private, one-on-one mentor coaching.
