How do you bring your authentic self to coaching and still demonstrate the MCC qualities of being with the human you are coaching? "Everyone who develops mastery starts off in a beginner's mind. And those who continue to evolve masterfully stay in the beginner's mind the whole of their lives." Let's discuss the fundamentals of coaching and how to use the ICF competencies as the launching point for mastery. Once you integrate your understanding, you then have the freedom to dance in your coaching conversations. Supporting your clients to explore transformational places. Observe a 20-minute coaching demonstration. Linking the coach's questions to the MCC BARS and PCC Markers. Afterward, break out into groups to debrief the coaching demonstration with each other. Then, come back and pick Lyssa's mind for her choice points. Make connections between the questions and the competencies.

Learning Objectives:
Explore what FULL Partnership means. Deepen your understanding of the competencies. See how the coaching container weaves the competencies: agreement setting, building trust, coaching presence, listening actively, evoking awareness, and facilitating growth. Observe an MCC Coach demonstrate the competencies through a real coaching conversation. Debrief on your insights.
