Advanced Coaching Practice
For experienced coaches ready to ask: how can I be of even better service?
Advanced Coaching Practice is designed for coaches who have moved beyond the fundamentals and are ready to examine the deeper complexities of their work.
It is a thought-provoking, reflective experience that invites experienced coaches to look honestly at their practice and discover new layers of awareness, skill and professional identity.
Based on the book Advanced Coaching Practice by Professor Christian van Nieuwerburgh and David Love, this online course surfaces the nuances and tensions that experienced coaches encounter and provides a structured, collegial environment in which to explore them.
About
The Advanced Coaching Practice Course is designed to support active reflection on your current coaching practice leading to new insight and awareness.
Rather than adding more tools to your kit, this course asks a more searching question: what kind of coach are you becoming, and how can you be of even greater service to those you work with?

Learning design
At GCI, we believe that we act our way into learning rather than learn our way into acting.
Research-informed, Practitioner-focused
With this principle in mind, all of our courses have a strong emphasis on practice. This course will focus on deepening your you observe yourself in your practice, what you notice and how this enhances your coaching and the experience for your clients.
A Learning Design to Enable Praxis
When we are engaged in praxis we are reflecting in action, taking what we are learning and applying it in real-life situations. Our in-person and online courses enable praxis through a ‘coaching approach’ to facilitation combined with a range of thoughtfully designed adult learning experiences including:
individual and group reflection activities
co-operative learning tasks
practice opportunities using real workplace scenarios
modelling
observation and feedback
debrief sessions
