Mastering Mentor Coaching: Formative, Customized, and Client-Relevant Evaluation Beyond Checklists
ICF Orange County Hosted Event to Support ICF Mentor Coach Specialization (MCS) Transition
Join me, Tijen Genco, MCC ACTC, Assessor Mentor, for an immersive exploration of a formative, client-relevant approach to mentor coaching that moves beyond checklist-style evaluation. In this session, I will introduce a structured way to understand coach responses in direct relation to what the client expresses—their meaning-making, emotional field, and developmental direction. Rather than tallying behaviors, participants learn to discern the alignment, appropriateness, and impact of a coach’s moves within the client’s unique context.
I will share key concepts from my Comprehensive Coaching Taxonomy, offering a practical lens for identifying how coach choices support or miss the client’s unfolding process. While having the book on hand may enrich the breakout room experience, it is not required for participation.
Through demonstration and guided analysis, participants experience how formative, customized feedback can illuminate patterns, strengths, and developmental edges and get a glimpse of Tijen’s upcoming Evidence-Based Masterful Mentor Coaching Class.
