Work with Me

“I felt nervous going into my mentor hours, but after one session with Vanessa, that fear disappeared. She’s kind, clear, and incredibly insightful. The structured feedback helped me see exactly where I needed to grow, and I’m now confident and prepared to submit my ACC recording. I highly recommend her to any coach seeking a strong mentor.”

My approach

You already know the power of coaching.
We’ll use it — on you.

In our work together, I model a coaching approach while mentoring you through the ICF Core Competencies. This means we won’t just focus on credential requirements. We’ll also explore:

✔️ Who you are as a coach on your unique journey

✔️ Who you are as a learner and human

✔️ Who you are as an artist and scientist of the ICF Core Competencies

You can exepct:

✔️ Strict adherence to ICF Mentor Coaching duties and standards

✔️ Clear measures of success and competency tracking

✔️ Recorded session review with timestamped, behavioral feedback. Specific examples of where you demonstrate competency — and what would demonstrate deeper mastery

✔️ A validating, supportive environment (I’ve been there!)

✔️ Accountability to your credentialing and development goals

✔️ A trusted, confidential sounding board for your coaching dilemmas

Choose Your Mentor Coaching Path

Whether you prefer individualized depth or collaborative learning, both options provide official ICF mentor hours and rigorous competency development.
