Coaching Competency Deep-Dive: ACC/PCC Mastery Modules for Coaches in India (Mumbai, Pune, Chennai) & Worldwide (London, New York, Toronto)

When “I’ve Done My Coach Training” Is Not Enough

Maybe you already completed an ICF accredited program. You may have a certificate, some logged coaching hours and basic familiarity with the ICF Core Competencies.

Yet when you listen to your own recordings, you may notice:

• Sessions that feel more like consulting, therapy or mentoring than ICF coaching.
• Difficulty holding a clear coaching agreement throughout the session.
• Over-focusing on questions and under-focusing on awareness, presence, emotions and client ownership.

If you want to move from “I did a training” to “I coach at ACC/PCC level consistently”, this Coaching Competency Deep-Dive is for you.

Who This Program Is Designed For

This program is specifically crafted for:

• Coaches on the ACC pathway who want to be sure their recordings meet ICF standards.
• Coaches on the PCC pathway aiming for deeper skill mastery and presence.
• Graduates of coach training (ICF or otherwise) who feel their coaching is too surface-level and want to build depth.
• Coaches from Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Ahmedabad and global cities like London, New York, Toronto, Singapore, Dubai, Sydney, Amsterdam.

What “Deep-Dive” Really Means Here

Unlike generic skills refreshers, this program focuses on:

• One competency at a time – drilling into how it actually shows up in your sessions.
• Real recordings and transcripts – so you see clear examples of what works and what doesn’t.
• Integration with NLP, emotional intelligence and somatic awareness – so you can work with beliefs, emotions and patterns without slipping into therapy.

Core Focus Areas Inside the Competency Deep-Dive

1. Coaching Mindset & Presence

• Shifting from “expert who knows” to coach who partners – essential for both ACC and PCC.
• Managing your own inner state using NLP tools so you can stay grounded, curious and receptive.
• Working with clients across time zones – e.g. morning sessions in Mumbai or Pune, evening sessions with London, New York or Toronto – without fatigue or emotional spillover.

2. Contracting & Maintaining the Coaching Agreement

• Designing clear, outcome-oriented session agreements.
• Avoiding common traps – advice-giving, mentoring, training and therapy.
• Ensuring the session stays client-led, outcome-focused and values-aligned.

3. Deep Listening & Powerful Questioning

• Listening for beliefs, identity patterns and emotional triggers, not just for content.
• Using NLP language patterns ethically to bring hidden assumptions to light.
• Designing questions that truly expand awareness and choice instead of interrogating the client.

4. Evoking Awareness, Designing Actions & Accountability

• Helping clients connect insights with body sensations, emotions and values.
• Translating awareness into concrete actions, experiments and commitments.
• Building accountability that respects the client’s autonomy and context in India, the UK, US, Europe or APAC.

Frequently Asked Questions – Coaching Competency Deep-Dive

How is the Coaching Competency Deep-Dive different from standard coach training?

Standard coach training introduces you to ICF concepts, models and practice. The Coaching Competency Deep-Dive goes further by using your real coaching sessions as the raw material and repeatedly mapping them to ICF Core Competencies. Instead of learning theory again, you refine how you actually coach, one behaviour and one competency at a time.

Is this program relevant for both ACC and PCC level coaches?

Yes. ACC-level coaches use the deep-dive to close gaps in foundational competencies and become more consistent, while PCC-level coaches use it to refine presence, depth and sophistication in their conversations. The principles are the same but the feedback is calibrated to the credential level you are targeting.

Can I join the deep-dive if I live outside Mumbai, Pune or Chennai, for example in London, New York or Toronto?

Absolutely. Coaches from across India and global hubs such as London, New York, Toronto, Dubai and Singapore can join the program online. You submit recordings of your sessions with clients in your own geography and receive structured feedback that helps you serve both local and international markets more effectively.

Do I need to complete mentor coaching before joining the Coaching Competency Deep-Dive?

You can join either before or after mentor coaching. Some coaches prefer to attend the deep-dive first so that their recordings are already stronger when they begin mentor coaching. Others join after mentor coaching to keep refining their skills as they work towards ACC or PCC applications. The program is flexible enough to support both approaches.

How will this program help my ICF credentialing and my day-to-day coaching practice?

For credentialing, the deep-dive helps you understand what ACC or PCC actually looks and sounds like in a session so you can select better recordings and reduce the risk of surprises in assessment. In your daily practice, it moves you from intuitive, hit-or-miss coaching to consistent, structured conversations that create deeper awareness and action for clients in India and worldwide.
