The coaching lab is a great introduction to mentor coaching. Working with a mentor coach is a requirement of the ICF for credentialling at ACC, PCC and MCC - because the input of a mentor coach is seen as invaluable in enhancing your coaching skills.
The coaching lab is an excellent way to develop confidence prior to coaching exams.
Hearing the coaching conversations of three other coaches with detailed and focused feedback gives you a great learning resource.
The structured feedback given in the Micro Coaching Lab is a great way to sharpen your coaching focus - whether you are new or highly experienced coach
How it works:
The Micro Coaching Lab takes place via the phone and the session lasts 1 ½ hours.
Each Micro Coaching Lab involves three participating coaches plus a mentor coach plus observers
On the call each participant coaches for 20 minutes each and receives feedback, both in the process of coaching and at the end of the session.
Each participant is also coached and gives feedback to their coach.
As an observer, you may have an opportunity to take part if a participant does not arrive to the call
If you attend the call as an observer, you will also get a recording of the lab
The recordings will be used as a members resource for Coaches Plus
What you get:
Participants
Feedback from a mentor coach, your client and the other coaches on the call
The opportunity to hear 2 other live coaching sessions and all the feedback
The recording of the session to keep
Observers
The opportunity to hear 3 live coaching sessions and all the feedback
The opportunity to give feedback
The opportunity to take part as a participant if there is a spot
If you attend the call - a recording of the session to keep

Listen to what Tammy has to say about her experience of the lab
Tammy Bass, Family Resolution Coach
"I want to begin by acknowledging you, Sonia, for your great work in creating the Coaches Plus Learning Community; the website immediately resonated with me and was the main reason that I signed up for the micro coaching lab session. Also, I want to acknowledge what a wonderful opportunity for learning these sessions are.
I wish to acknowledge you, Marion, for being a superb coach with a stellar intuitive coaching style. In all four of yesterday’s coaching sessions you immediately zoomed in on the client’s real topic, which for me personally resulted in a shift of perspectives to my own topic.
Then you also showed great self management skills when I, as a coach, let my own frustration over my client’s resistance to being coached and what I perceived as my own failure as a coach, wash over you.
I want to share with you what a great learning experience yesterday’s session was for me! So, I really was in the right place for an experience that provided me with great learning and growth, both as a person and as a coach.
So, thank you again and where do I sign up for the next micro lab session?"
