Coaching to the Core: Session 8 – Facilitates Client Growth (in the Age of AI)
Insight can be powerful—but insight alone doesn’t necessarily create growth or transformation.
ICF Core Competency #8, Facilitates Client Growth, asks coaches to partner with clients to transform learning and insight into meaningful, sustainable growth while promoting client autonomy throughout the coaching process.
In this experiential and interactive session, Master Certified Coach and coach trainer, Lisa Pachence, will explore the art of moving from awareness to integration—and why masterful coaching is less about getting clients to take action and more about partnering with them to determine who they are becoming through what they discover and choose.
Together, we’ll explore four essential dimensions of facilitating growth, all through the lens of client autonomy, partnership, and the evolving ICF Core Competencies. And we’ll bring a timely new partner into the conversation: AI.
How might coaches help clients use AI between sessions to deepen reflection, experiment with new behaviors, prepare for difficult conversations, identify patterns, generate possibilities, or strengthen accountability—without outsourcing their thinking, agency, or growth?
Rather than treating AI as the expert with the answer, we’ll explore ways coaches can help clients use it as a collaborative thinking and integration partner—extending the impact of coaching beyond the session while keeping the client firmly in the driver’s seat.
Expect an in-depth breakdown of this core competency, practical application, real coaching examples, community discussion, and plenty of opportunities to examine not only what we do as coaches, but how we create the conditions for clients to generate and sustain their own growth.
ICF Philadelphia is thrilled to offer Coaching to the Core: A Training Series on the ICF Competencies. Lisa Pachence – MCC, Owner of LP Coaching, Mentor Coach, Coach-Trainer, and Speaker – will lead an engaging 8-part series that takes a deep dive into the ICF core competencies, unwraps the PCC Markers (for competencies 3-8), and helps coaches deepen their client impact using the competency framework. These virtual meetings include 15 minutes of networking with attendees and 1 hour of active application of the ICF Core Competencies.
This Core Competency series is designed to Engage, Enlighten, and Elevate your relationship with the core competencies and, consequently, your coaching practice. Expect to:
- ENGAGE with the core competencies, with your colleagues, and with common client challenges to deepen the agility of your coaching.
- ENLIGHTEN yourself with the intention behind each competency and PCC Marker, seeing how the art of coaching comes to life through this framework.
- ELEVATE the power of your coaching by revealing new insights, enhancing your skills and confidence, and acquiring new methods to increase your impact and strengthen your stand as a coach.
To continue delivering the highest level of professionalism and impact in coaching, the new ICF Core Competencies were implemented in 2021, along with the PCC Markers (and later, with the ACC BARS and the MCC BARS). The Eight Core Competencies provides a stronger and clearer framework to the ethics, agreements, trust-building, and partnership that are fundamental to the coaching industry. Understanding the core competencies is a crucial part of a coach’s continuing professional development, while integrating the PCC Markers hones the application of those competencies to uplevel your coaching impact – something we’re dedicated to as ICF coaches. Participation will earn Continuing Coach Education credits.
