Empowering You as an ICF Coach

Contact Dawn

ICF Mentor Coach Dawn, PCC MCS-ACC, MCS-PCC

Thank you for being here to explore a potential 

mentor coaching partnership! 

I am here to support and honor 

your uniqueness as an 

ICF-credentialed coach while we deepen your mastery of the 

ICF 8 Core Competencies.


Together, we’ll co-create a partnership tailored to your unique learning style, strengths, and professional development.


Complimentary Conversation 

Our initial Zoom conversation is a space to explore your mentor coaching goals, answer your questions, and ensure we are a great fit. Visit my Contact page or email me at coachdawn4614@gmail.com to receive my scheduling link.

 

Session Options

To support your specific path for an ACC renewal, I offer:

  • 10-Session Series: Complete all required 10 hours.
  • 5-Session Series: For focused competency deepening.
  • 3-Session Series: Designed to complement a 7-hour group program.


Investment & Pricing Philosophy

I view mentor coaching as a relationship-centered partnership, not a transactional service. Because of this, I discuss fees directly during our initial exploratory call—allowing us to connect human-to-human first.


To keep coaching accessible, payments can always be spread out across the duration of our work together.

My Mentor Coaching Approach

 1-on-1 Mentor Coaching

I love partnering one-on-one with coaches. To keep our work deeply personalized, I do not offer group mentor coaching.


How My Practice Is Shaped

  • Centered on the ICF Mentor Coaching Competency Model
  • Enhanced by my 60-hour Mentor Coach Specialization training through Goal Imagery Coaching Academy and Marianna Lead, MCC
  • Grounded in my training with Presence-Based® Coaching


Visit my About & Resources page for a full look at my training and favorite resources.


 ICF Requirements 

  • The ICF requires 10 hours of mentor coaching spread over a minimum of 3 months for ACC renewal (taking longer is completely fine). 
  • Effective January 1, 2027, the ICF requires mentor coaches to hold the Mentor Coach Specialization (MCS). I hold both the MCS-ACC and MCS-PCC designations, ensuring full compliance with the updated ICF mentor coaching standards.

Testimonials from Mentor Coaching Clients

 "Working with Dawn for my ICF mentor coaching requirements was both supportive and genuinely useful.

Beyond the requirements, she helped me clarify my evolving coaching focus and messaging. I left our work together feeling more confident and clear about where I am headed as a coach."

"I worked with Dawn for the mentor coaching required for my 2026 ACC credential renewal. Studying alongside her was like learning with a wise friend. All the competencies gained a fresh depth and insight, and my coaching immediately benefited as those elements were re-ignited. I met my renewal requirement—but more importantly, my passion for this work has been tended and renewed."
