How do you recognize a masterful coach? I mean, really. Not in the sense of: “which hoops do I have to jump through to get an ICF MCC or EMCC MP designation. We all know how accrediting bodies try to “measure” mastery:
However, there is 20 years of experience doing something wrong and coach education is not like coach education. The endeavors of the accrediting bodies are valiant in the face of the true complexity of coaching mastery and do help buyers of coaching make decisions, I don’t want to dismiss this: the imperfect solutions of the accrediting bodies are better than no solution. But do they describe mastery? I think there is more to it.
A masterful coach could master many different disciplines:
How do we use the word “masterful”? When do we say: “Wow, this was masterful!” and how does this matter to our clients? Can we even tell from one or two coaching sessions that the coach is a master coach?
I am sorry to be asking more questions than giving answers, but I think these questions are relevant for us when we are engaging in our own development as coaches. Reflecting on how we recognize our own growth toward mastery is a very useful exercise:
