According to the International Coach Federation, “Mentor Coaching for an ICF Credential consists of coaching and feedback in a collaborative, appreciative and dialogued process based on an observed or recorded coaching session to increase the coach’s capability in coaching, in alignment with the ICF Core Competencies.”

As a twice-credentialed Associate Certified Coach (ACC) I’m qualified to provide mentor coaching to coaches seeking to complete the ACC credential path. And I love doing it! Mentor coaching combines my love of coaching with my love of teaching, so my mentees benefit from two of my superpowers!

I provide mentor coaching to individuals and groups. I also logged nearly 200 hours working with students of two coach training programs run by women of color:

Here are some rules from the ICF…

  • Mentor coaching should take place over a minimum of three months. This allows the mentee time to integrate the feedback, reflect, practice their skills and grow.
  • At least three of the 10 required mentoring hours must be one-on-one coaching with the mentor.
  • Group coaching may count for a maximum of seven hours towards the mentoring requirement. The group being mentored may not consist of more than 10 participants.

If you’d like to learn more about ICF’s requirements, or read about the Mentor Coach Duties and Responsibilities, visit ICF’s webpage on mentor coaching. You can also use the following links to download the current ICF Core Competencies, ICF Code of Ethics, and view the ICF video series for both.

More about me, your Mentor Coach!

Hi! I’m Susana Rinderle, MA, ACC, and I’m a “Wisdom Coach”! I facilitate self-discovery and meaningful breakthroughs in my clients, who then experience greater confidence, clarity, direction and purpose in work and life. I connect clients with their deep internal wisdom, and with abundant external wisdom – in people, science, the natural world, powerful metaphors and even spirituality. My four innate superpowers are insight, empathy, humor and problem solving.  Descended from a long line of oddballs and creatives, I’m both artist and scientist, and a big picture thinker with an eye for detail!

I’ve spent nearly 30 years garnering meaningful results for my employers and clients across the U.S. and abroad in multiple sectors including nonprofit, corporate, healthcare, education and government. I’m a TEDx Speaker (“Diversity is Necessary for Human Evolution”) and author, published in academic journals, Huffington Post, Workforce Magazine, TLNT.com, Diversity Executive, American Diversity Report and Training Magazine.  For twenty years, I was the President of Susana Rinderle Consulting, LLC, and I’m a former Principal Consultant for Korn Ferry in the leadership development practice. I was the co-founder and first Manager of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion for University of New Mexico Hospitals (UNMH). I’m a fluent Spanish speaker, a Los Angeles native, and hold degrees from UCLA and the University of New Mexico.

I offer life coaching and five types of workplace coaching: Individual, Executive/Leadership, “Leadership and Diversity” Coaching, Group or Team Coaching, and Coaching Skills Training for Leaders. My coaching has led to client successes including improved team relationships and productivity, greater clarity and confidence, more effective decision making and “leading the way [they] always imagined.” I’m known among my clients for being knowledgeable, warm, funny, passionate, impeccable, and having high integrity.

You can learn more on my About Me page, and my coaching page.

My Mentor Coaching options include…

  • Group Mentor Coaching: 8 hour-long sessions for a total of 7 mentor coaching hours (the first session is for foundation laying and community building). These sessions will be held at the same day and time for 8 consecutive weeks on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, excluding holidays. Each week we will focus on 1-2 of the 11 ICF Core Competencies. Participants will (1) coach each other, (2) provide self-feedback, (3) offer peer feedback, and (4) receive feedback from me.
  • Individual Mentor Coaching: One-hour sessions, each of which counts towards the one-on-one mentor coaching requirement. In each session, you will (1) identify which competency you want to focus on most, (2) coach me, (3) provide self-feedback, (4) receive feedback from me, and (5) identify your next steps for further development.

“I'm very impressed with Susana's ability to not only be in the moment as the client, but to catch so many aspects of what I was doing or not doing. That is invaluable feedback I've never gained to that level of detail and depth in my career. And she always finds positive things to highlight, even when my coaching may not have been its best. The feedback and experience I received is something I wish I had received early in my career to help me be a better leader.”

“Susana's mentor coaching provided me with real-world. authentic client scenarios, which I felt put my coaching abilities to the test. I felt that Susana brought a depth of experience, caring, and value to each of our interactions.
