Coach the Coach

1. The Characteristics of "Coach the Coach"

   Coach the Coach is different from mentor coaching in which a coachee experiences and learns from being coached by a higher level coach. It is not peer coaching where you practice coaching with other trainees. It is an important gateway that the coach must complete, along with the Mentor Coaching, in order to become a professional coach. Through Coach to Coach, the coachee will develop coaching skills, competencies and the coaching mindset. It will help the coach improve time management and their ability to ask timely questions effectively. The coach will be able to run coaching sessions naturally, comfortably and confidently.

2. "Coach the Coach" Program Options

   Coach the Coach is similar to the format of the ICF's Supervision. It is conducted in the form of a 1 to 1 coaching between a candidate and a KPC or KSC coach, or in the form of a 1 to 2 coaching between a candidate and a KPC or KSC coach and a peer coachee. After the higher level coach observes the coaching session facilitated by the candidate, the KPC or the KSC will acknowledge and support the coachee, point out well done things and give clear feedback and comments on area of improvements.

3. Certifications, requiring "Coach the Coach"

   Coach the Coach should be done before applying for a certification. In the case of KAC, it is not required. To apply for KPC, it is needed to have 5 hours, and for KSC, 10 hours are required. Each session should be less than 60 mins. At the same time, the hour of Coach the Coach is counted double, up to 120 minutes in calculating the practiced coaching hours.
