Mentor coaching

The mentor programme mentees measure the others against.

Any coach can offer mentoring. A certified mentor coach can offer more: a private app where each mentee’s progress towards their ICF or EMCC requirements stands in black and white, recording feedback annotated to the exact second, and an application package that assembles itself. Mentees compare programmes — give them a difference they can see.

Nothing slips

Every mentee’s standing, at a glance — before it becomes a problem.

The ICF’s requirements read simply and trip people constantly: ten mentor hours, at least three of them one-to-one, at most seven in a group — spread across at least three calendar months, counted from each mentee’s own first session, not from the day your group started. Get one detail wrong and a mentee’s application fails months later, when nothing can be fixed.

So the platform counts every session automatically against the real published rules — for each mentee individually — and tells you in plain sentences the moment something needs attention, while there is still time to act.

Your mentees see the same picture in their own app, from day one. A programme where nothing can quietly go wrong is a programme people recommend to the coaches behind them.

Maria’s last mentoring hour must fall on or after 14 Nov 2026 — her own three-month clock, counted from her first mentoring session with any mentor, shown to both of you from day one. Two people in the same cohort can have different dates; the platform never confuses them.

The recording review

Never hunt for a place in a recording again.

Marked-up recordings are the heart of mentor coaching — and its most punishing evening: an audio file in one window, a document in the other, scrubbing back and forth for the moment you half remember. That evening is over.

Your mentee sends the recording straight off their phone, with their client’s written permission; the platform prepares it and has them read their own transcript through first — quietly one of the most valuable exercises in the programme. Then you review everything in one place, where touching any moment plays that exact second. Every question they asked and every silence they left is already listed and timed for you.

What used to take an evening takes an hour — and what your mentee receives back reads like it came from an institution, in your voice.

What your mentee gets back, when you release it
Their transcript back, with your notes written in at the moments they belong to
A written report, grouped by competency — what went well, what to work on
What meeting the standard sounds like — in their own words, from the good moments in this recording
And they can ask you about one exact second of their own recording — the question arrives pinned to that moment

The mentor never keeps the recording file, and the audio is deleted a set number of days after the review closes. The notes, the report and the words stay.

Why mentees choose you

Your judgement is the product. Everything else is automated.

What a mentee buys from you is your ear — the one thing no software can fake. So the platform automates everything around it: the typing, the timing, the counting, the assembling. And it never grades your mentee’s coaching. Feedback comes from you, in your words, or not at all.

That boundary is a selling point, not a limitation. Mentees in machine-graded programmes learn to please a rubric. Yours learn the skill the credential actually tests — hearing their own coaching honestly — and they finish telling other coaches who taught them.

Privately, you get drafts: the machine suggests moments worth raising, visible to nobody but you. Take one and it becomes your note, in your words — it even learns how you write. Your mentee never sees a suggestion, ever. They only ever hear you.

What every mentee gets in their app
  • The client log — one row per client your mentee coaches, with rings that re-scale to ACC, PCC or MCC. Initials are enough; the ICF accepts them.
  • Continuing education — the 40 / 24 / 3 renewal arithmetic, nested the way the ICF nests it, with certificates uploaded against each entry.
  • Supervision — tracked separately, never counted in the ten mentor hours, measured over a rolling twelve months.
  • Competency self-assessment — eight questions on a five-point scale, shown beside what you wrote about the same competency.
  • The application package — a checklist with a Fix-this button on every line, and one ZIP holding transcripts, feedback, logs, certificates and a README naming what is still outstanding. It downloads at any completeness.

A ready-made ACC group programme ships with the product — a real mentor coach’s own five-session programme, written out step by step. Edit or delete it freely.
