Inspiring Competence – Enhancing Your Presence and Power to Call Forth Your Clients’ Greatness!

This program is facilitated by MCC coaches who have the ICF Mentor Coach Specialization (MCS). 

The Inspiring Competence program is for experienced coaches who are passionate about continuous learning and personal growth adventures.

Hello!  I’m Fran Fisher, a Master Certified Coach (MCC) with the ICF Mentor Coach Specialization (MCS) credentials.  I am passionate about working with coaches who aspire to an ever-deepening mastery as you explore and expand your own personal and professional growth.  Such exploration requires commitment, curiosity, courage, and compassion for ourselves and others.   Our profession is a gift to the world who needs what we have to offer, whatever your special interests or niche may be.  As we seek mastery in our professional and personal lives, we do so by embodying what we learn and experience.

I developed this Inspiring Competence program to be an intimate learning environment with like-minded and like-spirited peers to:

• Enhance your coaching mastery to extraordinary competence
• Stretch yourself into new learning territories
• Leverage your strengths and passion for greater contribution
• Break through your inner glass barrier for your self-actualization

I am pleased to announce the transfer of the facilitation and “ownership” of this program to my colleague and collaborator, Annie Gelfand, MCC/MCS/ACMC.  Annie and I have been co-collaborators on numerous master coaching projects, including programs that she’s developed and delivered.  I’ve had the privilege of mentoring and training Annie in various programs that I’ve developed over the years, and she brings her own gifts of intuition, wisdom, coaching mastery, and perspective when incorporating my methods.  We align on the vision for Inspiring Competence (IC) objectives and the learning and support the program offers you.  While Annie takes on the facilitation of the IC program, I join her in the 1:1 mentoring of IC participants as a key element that solidifies the deep learning in this program.  Thus, we offer you our unique perspectives and expertise that will surely deepen the experience for you as a participant.  From beginning to end, we give you our best coaching efforts, along with insights, feedback, encouragement, and support.

Imagine the benefits, as together, we:

• Empower your personal learning, growth, and transformation
• Deepen your coaching presence and power with clients
• Enhance your coaching skills for accessing the transformational zone
• Learn in the safety of supportive connections in your small group of peers

Please note that the Inspiring Competence program allows you to earn 26 ICF CCEUs and 3 ICF RDs and/or fulfill your required 10 hours of mentoring if needed.

The Inspiring Competence program uses a team approach format in the 1:1 mentoring of participants.  As described above, my colleague and collaborator, Annie Gelfand (MCC/MCS/ACMC), facilitates and delivers the Inspiring Competence program, and I join Annie in sharing the 1:1 mentoring sessions with the program participants.  So, as the developer of the IC program, my role is changing to focus on the mentoring of participants, which is my great passion, knowing that this program transition is in excellent hands!

We are closely aligned with the vision for Inspiring Competence objectives and the learning and support we can offer you.  At the same time, we offer you our unique perspectives and expertise that will surely deepen the experience for you as a participant.  From beginning to end, we’ll give you our best coaching efforts, along with insights, feedback, encouragement, and support.  Our shared vision for this collaboration is that this expansion offers increased synergies for deepening the learning and increasing the value for YOU individually and as a group experience.

Annie Gelfand, MCC/MCS/ACMC, serves as the primary facilitator responsible for the delivery for the Inspiring Competence program and one of the MCC/MCS mentors for the program.  Learn more about Annie in the ACMC Mentor Coach Directory here.

• We offer four 1:1 mentor sessions for each of you, and you have two master coaches with the MCS specialization to choose from for your 1:1 mentor sessions.
• Having two mentors gives you the added benefit of learning from the experience, perspectives, and coaching styles of different master coaches.
• We offer you a broad range of 1:1 mentor session scheduling opportunities so you can schedule ahead and with a different coach each time if you wish to do so.
• As developer of the program, I continue to provide ongoing supervision for the program itself, so I will be asking your permission to record and listen to some of the recordings of your 1:1 mentor sessions with Annie.  This enables me to also support you both directly and indirectly as the program developer.

Our goal is to provide you with generous support for your learning and growth.  You can help us help you by trusting each member of the team as your learning partner.

I hope you share my excitement about the benefits and value of the Inspiring Competence program and this new transition!  For additional information about the details and delivery of the IC program, reach out to Annie Gelfand, MCC/MCS, at annie@radicalwisdom.com  And, as always, I am available to answer your questions and receive feedback or hear about any concerns you may have regarding this transformative experience.
