ICF-ACC Exam - Topic 2 Question 13 Discussion

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.
