For Coaches:
Support for the Whole Practice
Coaching for coaches who want to build practical, calm, and client-centric operations, so your practice runs smoothly and your clients feel the difference.
Whether you're a new coach or well established, sustainable growth depends on a strong foundation of support, systems, and skills. Coaches thrive when operations run smoothly and reflection spaces are plentiful. I offer supervision, mentoring, exam prep, and tech adoption, woven into one mission: human connection.
I'll help you build the practice and deepen the craft, everything you need to strengthen your practice so you can stay focused on what matters: your clients.
I’m Shana Pote, an ICF PCC-certified executive coach with more than 20 years of experience leading complex transformations across global enterprises, research institutions, and high-growth ventures.
Alongside coaching CEOs, COOs, and other senior leaders navigating visibility, accountability, and rapid change, I also support fellow coaches in establishing and growing their practices. To be the trusted partner your clients need, you deserve the same: space to think, frameworks for focus, and systems that keep your practice steady. My role is to be that partner, so you can show up fully as theirs.
Why work with me?
As a coach, I don’t offer answers. I offer space:
- To reflect without pressure
- To recalibrate when the ground shifts
- To lead from a place of intentional momentum, not noise
My coaching
philosophy is grounded in trust, reflection, and a deep acceptance of what is, before we move toward what could be. I bring a
steady presence, deep listening, and sharp pattern recognition so you can see your practice, and yourself, in new ways.
This isn’t about productivity hacks or chasing metrics. It’s about supporting how you think, what you value, and how you bring that into your work with clients. From there, I can walk alongside you through supervision, mentoring, exam prep, or operationalizing your practice, so your coaching stays steady ethical, and sustainable.
Packages & Services
Choose what serves you now. Each option stands alone, and can also be combined as your needs evolve.
Supervision
A reflective, confidential space to explore your coaching work. Together we surface what’s underneath client dynamics, navigate ethical questions, and strengths your presence. Offered 1:1 or in small groups, with monthly or twice-monthly options
Mentoring & Philosophy Development
Beyond learning to embody the coaching competencies, mentoring helps you articulate why you coach the way you do. Together we map your coaching philosophy, refine your style, and prepare artifacts you can use for proposals, credentialing, or reflection.
ICF Exam Prep
Step into your exam with confidence and authenticity. Using a readiness rubric and mock coaching sessions, I help you identify gaps, refine your presence, align your practice with ICF standards, and prepare you for both the recorded and standardized certification testing.
