When we think too much in our coaching, we break the presence with our clients. We make it about our identity as a coach instead of about the work the client is doing–and that’s not good coaching. I’m happy to welcome Dr. Marcia Reynolds to the STaR Coach Show for her third visit! She has much wisdom to share with us about helping us be in partnership with our clients. Join us to learn more!

Dr. Marcia Reynolds is a Master Certified Coach who has trained and coached leaders in 43 countries. She is the author of four international bestsellers: Outsmart Your Brain, The Discomfort Zone, Wander Woman, and Coach the Person, Not the Problem. In today’s show, we focus on her newest book, Breakthrough Coaching: Creating Lightbulb Moments in Your Coaching Conversations. Marcia holds a doctorate in organizational psychology and two master’s degrees in learning psychology and communications. She was the fifth ICF president, is in ICF’s Circle of Distinction, and teaches for coaching schools in the US, Asia, and Europe.

Mentor Program

If you're working toward your ACC or PCC credential, or if it's time to recertify your ACC mentor, coaching isn't just a requirement on a checklist. It's one of the most transformative investments you can make in yourself and your coaching. I've taught or mentored over 2000 coaches, and I hear the same thing again and again. I came because I had to, and I am so glad that I did. Coaches tell me they walk away with renewed energy, deeper confidence and a community of peers who genuinely support each other. Here's what you need to know right now. Mentor coaching must span a minimum of three months, so the time to start is not when your credential is just about to expire. And if you complete your hours in 2026, you get ahead of the upcoming ICF changes, which means peace of mind along with skill development. My fall cohort is already filling up. Every group is capped at ten.
