So far in this Coaching Café series, we’ve explored what competent coaching looks like at the ACC and PCC levels. In this Podcast, we’re flipping the perspective and asking an equally important question:

What constitutes an instant fail in a coaching conversation—or during a credentialing exam?

This Podcast is not about fear—it’s about sharpening our coaching awareness.

✨ What are the behaviours that assessors flag as “not yet competent” right away?
✨ What coaching practices break the partnership—or move away from core competency?
✨ How can we tighten up our coaching approach to avoid these common pitfalls?

Join Brigitte Calvert, Open Door’s Learning and Development Manager and long-standing ICF assessor, as she shares insights from years of assessing coaching conversations across all levels.

Hosted by Natalie Ashdown, this Café is your chance to:
✔️ Learn what leads to an instant fail in ICF credential assessments
✔️ Spot these pitfalls in your own coaching practice
✔️ Make small, powerful changes that protect the coaching partnership and elevate your competence

Whether you're preparing for credentialing or simply want to coach with greater impact, this is a Coaching Café you won’t want to miss.

Let’s raise the standard—together.
