Karla Angel

From Nervous to Empowered: How Bob’s Mentoring Helped Me Earn My PCC and Deepen My Impact

I worked with Bob to level up and get my PCC and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I was nervous to have someone listen to and give feedback on my client calls – it felt really vulnerable to have someone point out areas for improvement and check in on them week after week. Bob handled this with such skill and openness that my nerves were quickly gone and I was eager to hear what he had to say.

I became a better coach because of his reflections and even got a message yesterday from the client I worked with on my PCC to thank me again, months later, for making such a difference in her life. I highly recommend Bob as a mentor coach for anyone serious about improving their skills and having a greater impact on their clients!

Karla Angel, MFT, PCC

Supportive. Insightful. Transformational. Bob’s Mentorship Was the Most Valuable Part of My PCC Journey.

I was connected with Bob through a trusted colleague when I began pursuing my PCC credential. I was primarily looking for expert feedback on my coaching sessions and validation that I was demonstrating the ICF Core Competencies effectively. This was my first experience working with a mentor coach and having someone observe my client sessions. While I was initially nervous about the evaluation process, Bob immediately created an environment that was supportive, constructive, and empowering. His approach balanced honest assessment with genuine encouragement.

Bob’s credentials as a Master Certified Coach (MCC) and former ICF President give him deep insight into what makes a PCC-level coach, and he’s dedicated to ensuring his mentees succeed—he maintains a 100% pass rate.

For anyone pursuing an ICF credential, I highly recommend Bob’s mentorship. The professional growth I experienced through our work together was more valuable than any previous coach training I’ve completed.
