Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits to advancing to the MCC designation as a coach if I’m successful as a PCC?

As you will learn in the WWCM program, coaching skills for the MCC level require a qualitative mind-set shift from transactional to transformational conversations. Coaches on this learning path transform who they are being in the process and gain greater personal as well as professional mastery. The certificate on the wall becomes secondary as a motivation.

Prospective clients tell me they want to work with someone at the top of their field with a depth of experience and credibility, and for this, they are willing to pay more.

What are the differences between The Wisdom Way Coaching Mastery (WWCM) audio program and the My Portable Mentor (MPM) audio series?

WWCM focuses on the ICF PCC Markers and the MCC Qualitative Essentials needed to demonstrate the skills and competencies required for the PCC and MCC designations. Distinctions between PCC and MCC expertise are emphasized for clarity.

WWCM offers advanced learning that builds on the foundational concepts provided in My Portable Mentor (MPM).

MPM addresses the ICF Core Competencies in more general terms as an aid to achieve the ACC, PCC, and MCC designations.

What is the advantage to using the WWCM program as I prepare for going after the MCC designation?

The WWCM program provides an opportunity to learn different perspectives that can expand and deepen your coaching skills and techniques. The recorded demonstrations present actual sessions with a seasoned MCC who mentors other coaches. You benefit from the elevated conversations and experiences that serve to augment your learning, training, and practicing.

 The segments focused on the PCC Markers will also provide you with additional support for sustaining your awareness of the key foundational skills you need to maintain while you learn and practice the qualitative elements of the MCC skills. 

It can be a long journey from the 500 hours for PCC accreditation to the 2,500 hours of client experience required for the MCC designation. WWCM will be there as a handy tool for review and reminding, so you don’t slide into those comfort zones and “bad habits” along the way.

Would you recommend doing the My Portable Mentor (MPM) program before starting the Wisdom Way Coaching Mastery II (WWCM II) audio program?

The simple answer is “yes, and….”  The MPM audio series offers learning that is useful no matter where you are in your coaching profession journey. Think of these recordings as your check-in with a mentor, which is beneficial any time before, during, or even after you have completed WWCM. In the MPM program, I share foundational perspectives on the ICF Core Competencies that I have acquired during my 25-year coaching career. WWCM takes a deeper dive into skill development.

How long does it take to complete The Wisdom Way Coaching Mastery II program?

There are approximately 14 hours of audios included in this self-paced audio program series plus additional downloadable resource materials such as the WWCM Resource Manual. I recommend that you take your time when listening to each audio module and take notes in the Resource Manual while you listen. Then, practice what you are learning by applying the new skills in your coaching sessions. The application of the new skills and knowledge will reinforce and deepen the learning for you.

Why does this course provide ICF Resource Development (RD) credits instead of ICF Continuing Coach Education Unit (CCEU) credits?

ICF CCEUs are awarded for live, synchronous training courses only.  WWCM is a virtual, asynchronous training course comprised of pre-recorded modules and additional downloadable resource materials delivered as a self-paced learning program.  Again, RD credits may be applied toward any ICF credential renewal.

What about the changes ICF is making to the Core Competencies and the PCC Markers?

The ICF Core Competencies and PCC Markers have not basically changed. They are being updated to current practices, the format is changing, and the language is being updated in some instances.  For example, the wording for the PCC marker “Creating Awareness” had changed to “Evoking Awareness.”

I will continue to update the WWCM program audios and resource materials to stay current with any ICF changes to the Core Competencies, PCC Markers, or MCC Skills Requirements.  By purchasing this program, you acquire full, ongoing access to the WWCM Program participants’ website and the WWCM resources. You can revisit the site at any time and download the most current versions of the WWCM audios and materials.

How do I receive my certificate for the 16 Resource Development (RD) Continuing Education credits?

When you have completed listening to all of the audio and demo recordings, send me an email letting me know that you’ve completed the program and are requesting your RD certification. I will email you the certificate of completion for The Wisdom Way Coaching Mastery (14 RDs) which you may use toward any ICF credential renewal.  My email is fran@franfishercoach.com.

How can I be notified of any new programs you offer in the future?

Thank you for asking!  By enrolling in this program, your contact information will be added to my mailing list.  You will receive email notifications of my future events, programs, books, and products.  Please add my email address (fran@franfishercoach.com) to your email Safe Sender list.

Fran’s coach mentoring program has elevated the quality of my coaching and mentor coaching. One of the many competencies I grew in was my ability to hold structure and sacred space for my clients in a more rigorous, powerful way. As a result, my clients consistently get greater value out of our sessions, and I can see the positive impact of my coaching growing. My investment in Fran’s program paid for itself and continues to pay dividends.
