ICF-ACC Exam - Topic 2 Question 13 Discussion

Actual exam question for ICF's ICF-ACC exam

[All ICF-ACC Questions]

Which action, if taken by a coach at the end of a session, would most likely help a client continue to make progress?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

ICF Competency 8 ('Facilitates Client Growth') focuses on 'transforming learning into action' through specific, realistic plans that support ongoing progress. Addressing barriers ensures sustainability (ICF Definition of Coaching). Let's evaluate:

A . Distributing a survey to assess the client's level of satisfaction with the coaching progress: This evaluates the process but doesn't directly drive progress (Competency 8).

B . Working with the client to develop an action plan that acknowledges support and resource barriers: This aligns with Competency 8, empowering the client with a tailored, actionable strategy for continued growth.

C . Emphasizing some negative outcomes that could occur if the client does not reach their goals: Fear-based motivation contradicts ICF's positive, client-led approach (Competency 5).

D . Sharing literature relevant to the client's goals for them to review before the next coaching session: This supports learning but lacks the actionable focus of a plan (Competency 8).

Option B most likely helps the client progress, per ICF's growth-focused framework.

Wait, emphasizing negative outcomes? That sounds risky...

A survey? Seems a bit pointless to me.

I’m surprised that’s even an option, feels counterproductive!

I’m not sure about option C; emphasizing negative outcomes seems counterproductive. I feel like it could demotivate the client instead of helping them progress.

I’m leaning towards option D because sharing literature could really motivate the client, but I wonder if they would actually read it.

I remember practicing a question like this where we discussed the importance of client engagement. I feel like option A could be useful too, but it might not be as effective as B.

I think option B makes the most sense, but I'm not entirely sure if developing an action plan is the best way to ensure progress.

Distributing a satisfaction survey at the end of a session seems a bit impersonal. I think the coach should be more actively engaged in supporting the client's next steps.

I'm pretty confident that emphasizing negative outcomes is not the way to go. That could just demotivate the client. I'm leaning towards Option B or D.

Hmm, I think the key here is finding ways to empower the client and address any barriers they're facing. Option B sounds like the best approach to me.

This seems like a tricky question. I'm not sure if I fully understand the nuances of how a coach can best support a client's progress.
