New · ICF 2027 mentor-coaching forms
The same evidence, drafted onto the ICF 2027 forms
From January 1, 2027, coaches pursuing an ICF credential must be mentored using two new official forms — the Session Observation Form and the Competency Review Form. From the very same analysis shown in the other tabs, Calibrate drafts both as editable Word documents: every marker pre-rated with timestamped evidence, ready for the specialized mentor coach to review, complete and sign.
Below is a preview of what those two drafts look like — generated, not hand-made.

3Feedback
Areas of Strengths
- Strong contracting instincts — a measurable session outcome is elicited early and revisited.
- Genuine relational warmth and body-language attunement produce real client movement mid-session.
Areas for Development
- Agenda control — several moves to coach-chosen directions without a genuine client invitation.
- Interpretation without invitation — naming the client’s internal state as established fact.
