FAQs

What are the objectives of the PCAM Mentor Program?
The PCAM Mentor Program is a PCAM-member benefit that provides assistance in the form of 10 hours of mentor coaching to coaches applying for their ACC (Associate Certified Coach) or PCC (Professional Certified Coach) credentials from the ICF (International Coach Federation).

Why do I need mentor coaching?
Beginning July 1, 2008, all portfolio applicants for the ICF ACC credential are required to complete 10 hours of mentor coaching. The PCAM Mentor Program will supply these 10 hours and help prepare ACC applicants for their credentialing exams.

How does the program work?
The Mentor Coaching classes will be conducted on Wednesday, December 14, 2011 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Thursday, December 15, 2011 from 8:30 a.m. to noon in the Detroit Metro area. These two half-day classes will satisfy 7 of the 10 hours required for the ACC or PCC credential from the ICF. Each participant will also receive their hours of personalized mentor coaching with PCAM's three Mentor coaches: Sylvia Becker-Hill, David Chinsky and Grace Menzel.

When and where does the mentoring group meet?
Group sessions are conducted face-to-face, and individual mentor coaching is conducted by telephone. Dates, times and locations of the mentoring programs can be found on the PCAM website. We have established a minimum of four and a maximum of ten participants for each program.

Who will be mentoring the coaches in the program?
All mentor coaches will have earned either their PCC or MCC credential from the ICF and will be committed to the success of program participants. The Mentor Coaches in 2011 will be Sylvia Becker-Hill, David Chinsky and Grace Menzel. All three of these coaches hold the PCC credential from the ICF.

What expectations exist for participants in the program?
Coaches participating in the program are expected to meet the ICF eligibility requirements for pursuing a credential, including completion of a coach-specific training program. Participants are expected to commit to active participation throughout the program, to coach in front of their group at least once during the program, to provide honest and constructive feedback to others in their group, attend individual mentoring sessions, and pay for the mentor coaching at the time of registration. All participants also must be current members of the Professional Coaches Association of Michigan.

What is the cost of participating in the PCAM Mentor Program?
The fee for the PCAM Mentor Program is $750 per participant. This fee covers 10 hours of mentor coaching, including seven hours of group mentor coaching and three hours of individual mentor coaching. Payment is due and payable to PCAM at the time of registration.

More Information

Here is what a past participant had to say:
"I greatly enjoyed and benefited from the PCAM Mentor Coaching Program. Grace Menzel, David Chinsky and Sylvia Becker-Hill were a pleasure to work with. Throughout the program, Grace, David and Sylvia provided clear and helpful feedback to allow me to evolve my coaching skills, It was truly beneficial to work with experienced mentor coaches and have the opportunity to observe their styles and mastery of coaching. Other aspects of the program, such as coaching in front of program participants and receiving their feedback, allowed me to observe and learn from other coaches and try on different coaching techniques. I also appreciated the opportunity to connect and collaborate with experienced coaches in the area. I strongly recommend the PCAM Mentor Coaching Program to coaches who are pursuing their ICF credential. The program will take your coaching ability to the next level and enhance your confidence along the way." - Jackie Treprenier, Executive and Business Coach, Cultivated Coaching LLC
