Mentor Coaching

I help you elevate your coaching skills and your personal style as a coach.

We mentor you on the International Coaching Federation (ICF) core competencies so you can attain your ACC, PCC, MCC certification, and recertification.

Benefits beyond the core competencies:

Define your coaching style and what sets you apart

Undeniably, no two coaches are exactly alike. Your uniqueness is what attracts clients to you. Let’s build on your strengths!

Build your confidence as a coach

Do you hesitate to ask your client a question because the timing is off? Despite our best intentions, this is an indicator of the coach’s level of trust.

Create more value for your coaching clients

How do you know when your conversations addressing the root cause?

Identify your coaching patterns – stretch to form new patterns

How do your coaching patterns affect the client engagement? Specifically, how do you create awareness?

Learn how to dance in the moment

Most important – your ability to partner and not lead your client may find some unexpected discoveries.

Increase your marketability

More often, coaches who continue to develop their core competencies and learn new coaching approaches are sought after by organizations.

Successfully Attained ICF ACC

As I sought out a mentor coach, I wanted to find someone who was not only knowledgeable and patient but most importantly: trustworthy. A coaching relationship requires being open, honest, and willing to be vulnerable as you learn and develop your coaching skills. Lynn is reliable, a great listener, keenly curious, and respectful, all qualities which build trust. 

Also, having the opportunity to have an in-depth study of the core competencies was incredibly helpful. Lynn’s organized and practical approach to teaching each core competency allowed me to easily understand and apply them to my coaching engagements. Upon completion of Lynn’s mentor coaching sessions, I received my ACC and am working towards my PCC.

Focusing on PCC Coaching Skills and Beyond

Lynn has helped me identify the behavioral and practical shifts needed for me to reach a higher level of coaching as a PCC. She supports me in my continuing education as a coach. Lynn is candid, challenging, fun, insightful, and empathetic. She’s passionate about helping coaches refine their craft. Mentor coaching with Lynn is well worth the investment and worthwhile beyond the mandatory ICF cycle.

Aligning Professional Goals with Personal Values

I chose Lynn Dessert as my mentor coach because I trust her. We had worked well together on several initiatives for the Charlotte chapter of the International Coaching Federation. Specifically, I was looking for a mentor coach who would provide purposeful, clear and constructive feedback. She did that, and so much more. Also, Lynn helped me appreciate how much I had already grown as a coach. She suggested small adjustments that strategically increased my skills and confidence. Consequently, her perspectives expanded and sharpened my thinking. I recently completed my application for my ACC certification.
