I believe that the 2023 Essence of Mastery Summit was the best summit I have attended so far. This summit was much more interactive and really made clear what is needed for Mastery. Annie in particular did an amazing job at dispelling the myths of MCC giving me new energy around working towards this credential. Looking forward to the 2024 Essence of Mastery.

This 2023 summit was amazing, the in person virtual interaction has elevated the experience and learning enormously.

So much value add in the discussions and reflections; the wisdom, live coaching demo's, thanks Annie you really delivered.

The Essence of Mastery was more than I expected and has inspired me to keep growing and pursue greater excellence in my work as a coach. I loved being part of the community in the live sessions and look forward to participating each year to come. Thank you for this labor of love that serves us all in such meaningful and powerful ways!

You continue to Wow me, from year one to year 7. The way each offering is co-created to each and every Amazing human that shows up. My curiosity is peaked, my awareness and learning evoked and I am looking forward to see what greatness the next year brings.  I am grateful for your brilliant idea called the “Essence of Mastery Summit.

The professional life of a coach can be lonely sometimes. This informative, authentic and inspiring Summit brings you back in from the coaching wilderness, and has something to offer coaches at ACC, PCC and MCC levels to help all continue to grow and develop as coaching professionals

Ainsley Groves

The EOMS continues to be the best resource for me as a coach to get connected to my people, feel inspired and most importantly learn more about myself as a coach, tangible skills to be a better coach and how to support clients with an MCC mindset and being.
A beacon of being better so we can give more to our clients.

PCC

Fiona McKay 

It's extremely helpful to be able to access training in this way. It makes it possible wherever people are located in the world and whatever their schedule. I feel privileged to learn from so many amazing MCCs!

PCC

Gina Lepore

This is my first time in the Mastery Summit - I thought I only wanted to get my CCEUs but I got so much more. I am a PCC coach but maybe now I'll consider the MCC path.

PCC

Ellen Kocher 

I absolutely loved my first Essence of Mastery Summit. Sharing and learning with and from like-minded coaches opens our minds and provides growth that no other "training" I have attended. I encourage coaches of every level to attend the summit to - well - understand what the "summit" of coaching can be.

I am so glad you found your way here. I am your host and co-founder of the Essence of Mastery Summit. I have been coaching since 1997 and am honoured to be not only an ICF Master Certified Coach, but also an PCC/MCC assessor for the International Coaching Federation.

Are you ready to apply for your ICF MCC? Or maybe you are committed to continually hone your coaching mastery? This event is for you.

It is specifically meant for coaches who would like to raise the bar on coaching mastery and qualify for ICF CCEUs at the same time.

I'm Annie Gelfand, 
Host and Creator of the Summit
