If, like me, you graduated from a program before it was ACTP (1999 for me!) and/or received your training through a variety of programs and are applying for ICF credentials as a PA (Portfolio Applicant), or through an ACSTH that does not offer mentor coaching, you will need 10 hours of mentor coaching, 7 of which can be in a group. If you are applying for ACC renewal, you will need 10 more mentor coaching hours. If you aspire to achieve MCC status, you will need to be mentored by an MCC. Or you may just want the development opportunity + ICF CCEs in a select community of coaches, with the added Culturally Intelligent Coaching™ edge for greater impact and income!

Marilyn Interviews the ICF Director of Credentialing on the importance of culture and bias in the competencies and assessment process.
Why Say YES!
The coaching market continues to expand. Organizations are increasingly booking credentialed, culturally intelligent coaches through coach brokers to meet market demand. Are you keeping up with where coaching is going or being left behind?
The Culturally Confident Credentialing Mentor Coaching Program has a 99% credentialing success. With renewed confidence in your coaching and cultural competencies you will be better positioned to go to the next level in your coaching and business.“I have acquired more coaching clients, my master classes have expanded globally,” Liz Dobbins, participating three times: for her ACC, PCC and MCC.
Why the ICF credential? An ICF credential demonstrates rigor, integrity, and increased opportunities, is internationally recognized and, with some organizations, required.
Our increasingly interconnected world and diverse workforce requires culturally confident coaches. “CQ is a critical capability for navigating today’s increasingly global and diverse business environment. It’s so important that we made it one of our core behaviors at PwC.” – Robert Mortiz, US Chair PWC. “90% of leading executives from 68 countries identify intercultural skills as among the most important capabilities required to remain competitive.”– Ang, Van Dyne, & Rockstuhl
Experience an exclusive, leading edge, business and ICF CCE expanding, unique combination of coaching and cultural competencies certification!

FAQ
When is the best time to apply for an ICF credential? Now! What about the new exam?
The requirements and financial investment continue to go up as well as the demand for credentialed coaches, so the best time to advance your ICF credential is now.
The new, proctored ICF Credentialing exam (note sample questions), based on the updated coaching competencies, is now required for all credential applicants except renewing ACCs, at an additional fee, beginning August 2022.
Once your application is reviewed and approved, you will be contacted via email with an invitation to take the three hour “closed book” exam, with 81 scenarios (two minutes per scenario).
Tips: For each scenario, you choose a best and worst answer out of 4 choices. Best: client centered, curious, transparent. Worst: coach centered, leading, biased. Passing: 77%. This can be taken in person or virtually. You will need all three hours, with one five minute break. Results provided within 24 hours. $105 to retest. You may ask for accomodations, providing medical proof. You may pay for a translator.
Can I take this program again and still earn the 30 hours ICF CCE?
Yes! So long as we add new content, which is not a problem! I’ve contributed to a book a year, add new MCC recordings, do an ICF program a year (ICF Finland in 2022). “It’s worth having mentor coaching at least every other year, if not every year, to refine my practice and deepen my understanding of the coach’s competencies by reviewing others’ sessions. We need to keep sharpening our saws,” two time participant, Shoko Masuda.
Can I count this program as training hours toward a first ICF credential?
Yes, for an initial credential portfolio application, the CQ Coaching Certificate™ 20 Coach Education hours could be counted as training hours as it is ICF CCE approved as well as receive the 10 hours of Mentor Coaching, or 30 hours for the entire program, with 26 hours as Core Competency and 4 as Resource Development.
How are the CQ Mentor Coaching +Certificate 30 hours ICF CCE counted?
When you complete the 12 reports showing you have read and listened to the materials and described how you will implement your learning, as well as demonstrate your Cultural Intelligence in your Coaching Recordings during the program and attend a one hour competency based alumni/participant Zoom, you will be awarded the Culturally Intelligent Coaching™ Certificate and, along with completing your 10 Mentor Coaching hours, earn a total of 30 hours, 26 in Core Competency plus 4 Resource Development, for the combination Culturally Intelligent Coaching™ Certificate and Mentor Coaching program, providing market differentiation.
Do I Need to Demonstrate All 37 ICF PCC markers in my performance assessment?
Not all 37 markers need to be demonstrated to pass the ICF Performance Assessment at the PCC level. Coaches should be able to demonstrate a solid number of the behaviors overall, and should demonstrate a number of markers within each competency area (Competencies 3 – 8). Example: for Marker 7.6 closed vs. open questions, a candidate would need to demonstrate a capacity to ask primarily open questions.
What is the difference between Mentor Coaching and Coaching Supervision?
Mentor Coaching is focused on the demonstration of the coaching competencies, while Coaching Supervision provides the space to reflect on your role, relationship and ethics as a coach while renewing and further developing.
Why the Culturally Intelligent Coaching Certificate™ and Culturally Confident approach ?
An additional marketplace differentiator and ICF CCEs for a total of 24.5 for our Culturally Intelligent Mentor Coaching + Certificate program.
Increasing your cultural intelligence contributes to increased impact as your clients “feel completely heard and understood, resulting in more confidently achieving goals and vision.” (program participant’s client). Cited in “The Question that Changes Everything” Forbes. Recognized in the ICF updated competencies.
“It is impossible to not work interculturally!” Even in your own community! Cultural identities include nationality, gender, generation, ethnicity, ability, etc. “CQ (cultural intelligence) is a critical capability for navigating today’s increasingly global and diverse business environment. It’s so important that we made it one of our core behaviors at PwC.” – Robert Mortiz, US Chair PWC. “90% of leading executives from 68 countries identify intercultural skills as among the most important capabilities required to remain competitive.”– Ang, Van Dyne, & Rockstuhl. “#1 Predictor of Success,” American Management Association article.
What is cultural intelligence? the recognizing and understanding of the beliefs, values, attitudes, rank and behaviors of people (including your own!) with distinct cultural identities; and then applying that awareness toward effective behavior and communication.
The Culturally Intelligent Coaching™ Certificate is offered in conjunction with this program ($2500 as a separate program), with additional requirements of 3 book reports (books provided) as well as written feedback or reports on 6 recordings, 4 of CQ MCC coaching and 2 on integrating CQ with coaching competencies, as well as demonstrating CQ in your coaching.
Today’s technology makes it very easy to serve clients in different regions (I have coached, taught, trained, presented in 40+ countries!).
