“I’m nervous” is something coaches say before feedback. As a former teacher and still a teacher at heart, Joshua’s aim is a fun but impactful experience. His legal training adds close listening and clear, specific feedback. You will be challenged, supported, and respected as a coach.

I mentor ACC candidates — coaches earning the credential for the first time and those renewing it. I hold the ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential, renewed in 2026.
No. ICF makes credential decisions. Mentor coaching can provide honest, specific feedback and a clearer picture of readiness.
A lot of time is spent by the mentor coach preparing for a session. This may require watching and analyzing pre-recorded coaching sessions as compared to ICF standards, writing up comparisons and notes, or preparing lesson plans based on the needs of the group cohort. The one hour of a mentor coaching session can take upwards of two additional hours to prepare for.
