ICF-ACC Exam Dumps : Associate Certified Coach (ACC Exam)

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.

Option D aligns with Competency 7, "Evokes Awareness" (7.3 – Offers reframes to shift perspective), by gently encouraging the client to see her frustration in a new light without judgment (Competency 4.1). It fosters curiosity and supports Ethics Section 1.1 (respecting client experience).

Option A is overly personal and directive, breaching Competency 2.2. Option B dismisses the client’s current state, missing Competency 6.1 (acknowledges emotions). Option C risks sounding accusatory, undermining trust (Competency 4.1). D best facilitates awareness and growth.

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.
