Coach Mentoring Program 
Agreement & Registration

Thank you for choosing Novalda's Coach Mentoring Program for this chapter of your coaching development. 

Please read through the following information carefully. By submitting this form, you accept the terms and policies of the program and complete the registration process. 


PROGRAM DESCRIPTION & PROTOCOL

About the Program

Every Novalda program involves a designed alliance so that all participants feel safe and remain open. As a group, we will design our alliance at the beginning of our work together and check in regularly.

Individual Coach Mentoring Session Protocol

  • The program includes individual coach mentoring sessions, which you are responsible for scheduling. Ideally, they are spaced throughout the program to allow for integration of your developing skills.
  • To assess your coaching, you will supply recorded coaching sessions. You will need to obtain written permission from the participant(s) before making these recordings. 
  •  Individual coach mentoring sessions may be recorded for your review if requested, and written feedback provided as well. Please take care with the recordings and ensure GDPR compliance in your storing and deleting of the recordings.
  • Note that you must complete the coach mentoring sessions before the program ends, and that a 48-hour cancellation policy applies.

Group Coach Mentoring Sessions Protocol

  • As part of the program, each participant will be responsible for bringing at least one recording of a coaching sessions to be shared in the group sessions.
  • In our designed group alliance, confidentiality is a given. Group coach mentoring sessions may be recorded if agreed upon by the group. As with the individual coaching protocol, please take care with the recordings and ensure GDPR compliance in your storing and deleting of the recordings.
  • Brief teaching pieces on the competencies will be provided as we review your skills, which will help to increase your confidence for the credentialing process and in your coaching.
  • You will also be encouraged to set up and interact with other participants in whatever forum is most relevant to the group. For instance, What'sApp is one possibility.


Your registration is complete when you click the submit button at the bottom of this form. Once payment is provided, you will receive online access to instructions and program support materials, along with a detailed copy of information outlined in this form.

Your Responsibilities

  • Please arrive on time for our meetings. Note that individual make-up sessions for missed group sessions and additional individual sessions may be scheduled for a special price of CAD $300.
  • On completion of the program, you will receive a certificate of completion that you may use for your ICF Mentor Coaching Hours and/or CCE units in Core Competencies.
  • If you are unable to attend a group session you will not be able to obtain the mentoring hours or CCEs for that portion.

Technical Considerations

  • Suggested methods to record coaching sessions: Zoom for video recordings and the inbuilt recorder on iPhone for in-person. Written transcript(s) are invaluable for your learning and will be needed when you apply to ICF.
  •  Although it is not needed for our program, ICF may require that you send in a written transcript(s) as well as the recording(s), depending on your training and level of credentialing. 
  •  Please listen to your recording before sharing it with us, and identify 2 x 10-minute segments for us to listen to together, as well as completing your own assessment of your coaching in the required document that we will share with you. Your recordings must be 60 minutes or less for both ICF and our program. Please note: ICF assessors will not review recordings more than 60 minutes in length.



COACH MENTORING PROGRAM AGREEMENT


By registering to participate in this program, I understand that:

  1. I agree to work with Novalda's Mentor Coach and other participants for the duration of the Coach Mentoring Program. I will pay the fee in full before the course begins, or according to payment plan terms agreed with Novalda.
  2. I also subscribe to have program information, news and updates from Novalda delivered to my email.
  3. The course includes sessions with Novalda's Mentor Coach and group sessions with other participants led by the Mentor Coach.
  4. I am responsible for recording coaching sessions to be used for assessment and review in my individual and group sessions, and for obtaining permission from the participant in the recording call.
  5. I give permission for my name and any recorded sessions to be shared with the understanding that all information provided by me and other participants will be considered confidential unless written permission is given to share it, or as required by law.
  6. I understand that other participants in group mentorship meetings are required to delete my recordings once sessions have ended, and I will do the same in return.
  7. I acknowledge that for training or consultation purposes, certain topics or questions may be hypothetically discussed without revealing the source.
  8. In order to receive my credential, I am responsible for completing the coach mentoring hours required on the credentialing application. 
  9. I will review the ICF code of ethics and credentialing requirements before I begin. I will also ask for clarification about any points I do not understand.
  10. The ICF defines Mentor Coaching as providing professional assistance in achieving and demonstrating the levels of coaching competency demanded by the desired credential level sought by a coach-applicant (mentee). Furthermore, Mentor Coaching means an applicant (mentee) being mentored on their coaching skills rather than mentoring on practice building, life balance, or other topics unrelated to the development of an applicant’s coaching skill. I understand that I am responsible for my own wellbeing during this mentoring program, and can choose to end my participation in the Coach Mentoring Program at any point. If I do so, we both agree to come to an understanding of the reasons for discontinuing the program.
  11.  I acknowledge that I alone am responsible for receiving and incorporating any guidance provided as part of this course, and that I create my own results.

Submitting this form indicates that I have read, understand and agree to these terms as well as the structure and protocols of the Coach Mentoring Program.
