Last week we kicked off our new Coaching Café season by exploring what competent coaching looks like at the ACC level. This week, we’re taking it up a notch as we unpack PCC-level coaching—and what it truly means to coach at that next level.

✨ What distinguishes a competent coach from a PCC coach?
✨ What does it sound like when you're coaching at the PCC level?
✨ What are the most common things that hold coaches back from reaching PCC standards?

Hosted by Paula Jones-Hunt, join us as Brigitte Calvert, Open Door’s Learning and Development Manager and long-time ICF assessor, shares her perspective from listening to and evaluating hundreds of coaching demonstrations at the PCC level.

This session will help you:
✔️ Understand the jump in depth and complexity expected at PCC
✔️ Recognise how mindset, presence and partnership evolve at this level
✔️ Identify your own development priorities if you're working toward PCC—or want to deepen your coaching

Whether you're actively preparing for your credential, mentoring other coaches, or simply want to elevate your coaching practice, this Coaching Café is packed with insights.

After focusing on how we coach others in the past series, we’re now turning the lens inward. In this new Coaching Café series, we shift the focus to our own coaching development - starting with a deep dive into the ACC level of competency.

✨ What does competent coaching look like, sound like, and feel like?
✨ What behaviours or practices might be deemed not yet competent under the ICF Core Competencies?
✨ Would your coaching be assessed as competent against international standards?

This week, you’ll have the unique opportunity to learn from Open Door’s Learning and Development Manager, Brigitte Calvert.

With over 20 years of experience as an ICF assessor, Brigitte brings expert insights from listening to and giving feedback on hundreds of coaching demonstrations. Along with insights from Paula Jones-Hunt, you’ll get clear, practical insights into what makes a coach competent - and what doesn’t.

Whether you’re working toward your ACC or want to refine your coaching at any level, this session will help you:
✔️ Understand how coaching is assessed at ACC level
✔️ Recognise the difference between competent and not-yet-competent coaching
✔️ Identify a few key areas to focus your own development

🎯 Let’s start the new season by raising the bar for ourselves as coaches.
