The instant fail: What to avoid in coaching conversations
So far in this Coaching Café series, we’ve explored what competent coaching looks like at the ACC and PCC levels. This week, we’re flipping the perspective and asking an equally important question:
What constitutes an instant fail in a coaching conversation—or during a credentialing exam?
This session is not about fear—it’s about sharpening our coaching awareness.
✨ What are the behaviours that assessors flag as “not yet competent” right away?
✨ What coaching practices break the partnership—or move away from core competency?
✨ How can we tighten up our coaching approach to avoid these common pitfalls?
Join Brigitte Calvert, Open Door’s Learning and Development Manager and long-standing ICF assessor, as she shares insights from years of assessing coaching conversations across all levels.
Hosted by Paula Jones-Hunt, this Café is your chance to:
✔️ Learn what leads to an instant fail in ICF credential assessments
✔️ Spot these pitfalls in your own coaching practice
✔️ Make small, powerful changes that protect the coaching partnership and elevate your competence
Whether you’re preparing for credentialing or simply want to coach with greater impact, this is a Coaching Café you won’t want to miss.
Let’s raise the standard—together.

- Open Door is bound by the guidelines issued by the International Coach Federation (ICF) in regards to the issuance of Continuing Coach Education (CCE) hours.
- Open Door uses Zoom to track and report on attendance and you have to attend the entire 30 minute presentation (as evidence on the report) to earn the CCE.
- If you do not attend at least 30 minutes of the presentation, then the CCE cannot be awarded. This is not negotiable.
- The facilitator will log on prior to the presentation for you to check your software, and you are encouraged to log on early to make sure that your attendance will be recorded. It is your responsibility to ensure that you can hear the facilitator and see the slides.
- Open Door will not be held responsible for any reason, if you can’t attend the full session, this includes software drops outs or personal matters including ill health.
- You must attend the live session in order to achieve the CCE – you are not eligible to earn the CCE by listening to recording afterwards.
- Open Door reserves the right to change the topic, time, date or presenter as needed. We obviously try to avoid this, but sometimes it cannot be helped. Thanks for your understanding.
