The Australian Charter Chapter of ICF
Notes from First 100 Hours SIG Session #2, 10 June 2026
Hosted by Tara Minchin, ICF Australasia Chapter Events Support and Roshni
Sharma ACC, NSW Branch President
Summary
This second session of the ICF Australasia First 100 Hours SIG welcomed 24 coaches
working towards or having recently completed their first 100 coaching hours. The
session was hosted by Tara Minchin and Roshni Sharma ACC.
Guest speaker Roshni, ICF NSW Branch President, shared her framework of five
"doors" to help emerging coaches approach their credentialing journey with intention and
purpose rather than panic. Roshni introduced the concept of viewing the first 100 hours
as a self-directed learning journey focused on "feeling," "growing," "experimenting,"
"building," and "belonging" rather than simply collecting hours.
The session included two breakout room coaching exercises where participants practiced
the framework with their peers, and concluded with a Q&A where attendees discussed
practical questions about business setup, insurance, and handling niche shifts over time.
Session Structure
• The session opened with a proposal for a First 100 Coaching Hours
Framework. Roshni led a session focused on helping coaches approach their
first 100 coaching hours as a self-directed learning journey rather than a frantic
credential chase. She introduced five "doors" to structure this process: Feel
(emotional quality of the journey), Grow (practicing competencies), Experiment
(exploring different coaching models), Build (establishing business foundations),
and Belong (connecting with the coaching community). The session included a
planned breakout room activity where participants would explore how they want
their 100-hour journey to feel, with a focus on creating a safe and supportive
environment.
• Coaching Session Breakout Challenges: Participants shared their
experiences, mentioning the water analogy for flexibility and learning, and
expressing challenges coaching other coaches due to imposter feelings.
Participants sharing words describing how they want their 100-hour coaching
journey to feel, including evolutionary, ease, exciting, and natural.
• Journey to 100 Coaching Hours: Roshni discussed the journey toward 100
coaching hours, emphasizing the importance of reflecting on coaching sessions,
learning from peers, and developing skills. She recommended focusing on the
revised 2025 ICF Core Competencies, suggesting spending five hours on each
of the eight competencies to enhance coaching practice. Roshni also highlighted
exploring various coaching models like the GROW model and solution-focused
coaching, as well as identifying and addressing confidence edges to improve
coaching skills.
• Coaching Practice Development Strategies: Roshni discussed strategies for
