ICF ICF-ACC Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

Option C aligns with Competency 2.2 (maintains mutual respect and partnership) and Competency 8.2 (partners to design closure), by giving the client agency in ending the session. It respects Ethics Section 1.1 (client-led process) and ensures a collaborative wrap-up.

Option A assumes closure content, missing partnership. Option B centers the coach’s perspective (Competency 7.11 – no attachment). Option D dictates the summary, bypassing client input. C best embodies ICF’s partnering ethos.

Option A is the worst because it assumes responsibility for the client’s progress, undermining autonomy (Competency 8.3) and breaching Ethics Section 2.1 (professional boundaries). It contradicts the ICF Definition of Coaching by fostering dependency.

Option B is narrow but not harmful. Option C suggests without partnering. Option D (best, see Question 19) empowers. A most severely misaligns with coaching principles.

ICF Competency 6 ("Listens Actively") involves "focusing fully on what the client is saying and not saying, understanding the meaning in context," including verbal and non-verbal cues like tone and body language. Let’s evaluate:

A. Basic: This implies minimal engagement, not attending to multiple cues (below Competency 6).

B. Attentive: This suggests focus but lacks the depth of interpreting body language and tone (less than Competency 6).

C. Active: This matches Competency 6, encompassing words, tone, and body language simultaneously.

D. Explorative: This aligns more with questioning (Competency 7), not listening.

Option C is the type of listening described, per ICF’s definition of active listening.
