Claristrat Graduate • Monthly Workshop & Supervision Program

Professional Upkeep Program for Graduates (full semester)
Monthly Claristrat Method Workshops & Group Mentoring · Fully PhD and PCC/MCC Faculty

The hygiene steps to keep a sound professional practice: ongoing honing of your coaching approach, and rigorous supervision that catches what you cannot see in your own sessions.

Certification is the start of the work, not the close of it.

Once you graduate, it’s easy to slid outside of a coaching mindset and lose the benefits you worked hard to obtain for yourself and your clients.

In fact, abiding to the ICF’s Competency #2, Embodying a Coaching Mindset, requires “Working with supervisors and mentor coaching to support growth”.

Following this directive and to support your long-term growth (as well as fully cover your credential renewal needs when time comes), Claristrat has evolved its ongoing curriculum into a definitive three-pillar ecosystem.

The Claristrat Graduate Ecosystem

• The Masterclasses (Free Community Pillar | The "What" & "Why"): High-level conceptual depth, advanced theory, and systemic frameworks. These open sessions are designed for community-building and ongoing paradigm expansion.

• Method Workshops (Paid Mastery Pillar | The "How"): A dedicated, monthly 2-hour environment focused entirely on the Method’s rationale and mechanics, delivery techniques, live troubleshooting, and the craft of complex systems coaching at depth.

• Coaching Supervision (Paid Mastery Pillar | The "Who"): A formal, protected group space focused entirely on the coach's internal reflective capacity, blind spots, and the psychological ecosystem of senior engagements.

What We’ll Work on Together

1. In the Method Workshops (For Coaching Mastery) · 12 monthly sessions (120 min each)
with Fabiana Pereira Hotz, PhD, PCC, Claristrat Institute’s Faculty Lead & Method Author

• Coaching Complexes Through Archetypes: Unlocking deeper layers of client awareness using highly structured archetypal frameworks.

• Non-Directive Point-of-View Pivots: Achieving elegant, highly impactful shifts in client perspective without advising, leading, or hijacking the session.

• Focusing the Drifting Client: Restoring strategic momentum, pace, and boundaries when a client's narrative begins to meander.

• Other topics as per graduate demand.

2. In Group Supervision (The Reflective Space) · 12 monthly sessions (60 min each)
with Louise Kovacs, PhD, MCC, Claristrat Institute Supervision Lead

• Revealing Blind Spots & Assumptions: Identifying hidden biases, personal habits, or psychological filters that subtly influence how you respond to your clients.

• Navigating Systemic Complexities: Examining the entire organizational ecosystem surrounding your client, including corporate power dynamics, dual roles, and conflicting stakeholder agendas.

• Deconstructing Parallel Processes: Recognizing when the anxieties, patterns, or structural friction of your client's organization are unconsciously replicating themselves within your coaching relationship.

• Ethical Anchoring & Boundary Diligence: Working through "grey-area" ethical dilemmas, complex multi-party contracting challenges, and professional boundaries.

• Practitioner Wellbeing: Processing the psychological weight and isolation that frequently accompanies coaching in highly charged, high-pressure corporate tiers.

Program Architecture & ICF Alignment

The program delivers two live paid sessions per month alongside your free community access, scheduled strategically to fit an Eastern Standard Time (EST) schedule:

• First Wednesday of each month: Method Workshops (2-Hour live session focusing on the delivery mechanics of the craft).

• Third Wednesday of each month: Group Supervision (Led by Dr. Louise Kovacs, MCC, focusing on reflective case analysis).

• Triennial Renewal Coverage: The ICF requires 40 Continuing Coach Education (CCE) units every three years for credential renewal. This program fully covers your cycle by delivering up to 24 CCE units per year (12 from the Method Workshops and 12 from Supervision).

• Note on Mentor Coaching: Per ICF guidelines, mentor coaching operates on a distinct track from supervision and CCE. Claristrat runs mentor coaching as a separate, targeted program that you can step into during the final year before your triennial renewal.

Who This Is For

• Claristrat Graduates: Advanced practitioners seeking a rigorous, safe sounding board to protect their coaching quality, master the mechanics of the method, and effortlessly maintain their ICF credentials.

• External Tier-One Coaches: Credentialed executive, leadership, or team coaches navigating highly complex, high-pressure organizational environments who want to anchor their delivery in formal reflective supervision and advanced tactical training.

ICF’s Coaching Supervision Definition

To ensure your development aligns with global professional standards, this program strictly adheres to the International Coaching Federation's definitions distinguishing supervision from other modalities:

• What It IS: A collaborative learning practice to continually build the capacity of the coach through reflective dialogue for the benefit of both coaches and clients. It is a formal, protected space for interactive reflection on real client cases and systemic realities.

• What It Is FOR: It is designed for deep self-reflection, personal and professional well-being, mitigation of ethical risk, expansion of systemic perspective, and long-term sustainability as a practitioner.

• What It Is NOT: * It is NOT Mentor Coaching: Mentor coaching focuses strictly on fine-tuning specific coaching skills and passing credentialing levels (ACC/PCC/MCC) by evaluating recorded or live sessions against core competencies. Supervision goes beyond basic competency execution to look holistically at the coach's entire internal thought process, relationship matrix, and systemic impact.

  • It is NOT Administrative or Performance Policing: It is a safe, confidential, trusting, and collegial space—not a managerial review or compliance audit.

  • It is NOT Executive Coaching for Business Growth: It does not focus on your personal career transitions, marketing strategies, or business client development.
