OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
In this conversation on The Everything Life Coaching Podcast, Noelle Cordeaux, CEO of Lumia, sits down with Juliann Wiese, B.Ed., CPCC, MCC, CMC and Karyn Edwards, PhD, MCC... both longtime Lumia instructors and corporate leadership veterans who've collectively spent decades inside organizations before hanging up their shingles and building thriving independent practices.
They get into the real talk of what it means to move from doing coaching to being a coach, letting go of ego, performance, and the constant toggling of skills, and what it looks like when the work finally becomes embodied.
Juliann and Karyn also unpack what just changed in the ICF core competencies (updated November 2025) and why the renewed emphasis on mentorship and self-awareness as a coach is the future of the profession.
These two are launching a mentor coaching cohort together, designed for coaches working in or aspiring to corporate environments, led by two of the roughly 4-5% of ICF-credentialed coaches worldwide who hold the MCC designation. They break down what questions you should actually be asking before choosing a mentor coach, why development beats checkbox-chasing every time, and what makes this program different.
Only 10 spots. Cohort starts April 2nd, 2026. If you're sitting on your PCC or ACC and wondering what's next... sign up for the Mentor Coaching Cohort: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Mentor_Coach
