Core Competencies Summit with Meredith Kimmel, PCC

The Art of Listening: Mastering ICF Core Competency Six

Listening is at the heart of every effective coaching engagement. This 90-minute virtual workshop will explore ICF Core Competency 6: Listens Actively, a foundational skill that distinguishes transactional conversation from transformational coaching.

Led by Meredith Kimmel, PCC, this session will offer a deep dive into what it means to listen beyond the words. We’ll examine how coaches can attune to language, tone, emotion, and energy to support client self-expression, insight, and growth. Participants will explore practical ways to integrate active listening into their coaching practice and reflect on how this competency enhances trust, presence, and partnership.
