Intensive Coaching Module

Upon completing a coaching course, you will have greater confidence and competence as a coach and better understand how to transfer your learning into practice as a coach. 

Whether close to the completion of a coaching course or somewhat later, the Intensive Coaching Module (ICM), provides you with a supportive yet challenging opportunity to being a highly impactful coach.

The GCI Coaches involved in this module are expert coaches, have international coach accreditation and are supported by an accredited Coach Supervisor. They can move appropriately between several roles in supporting your development:

• Coach: coaching you on your coaching development and implementation goals
• Supervisor: promoting reflection on your practice, affirming what is working well and amplifying opportunities for growth and “doing differently”
• Mentor: suggesting further options from their experience for you to consider
• Trainer: pointing back to learning from coaching courses or modelling coaching as appropriate
• Feedback provider: providing ongoing feedback throughout the process and particularly in relation to the ‘Coach the Coach’ activity.

Reflecting on our coaching is central to coach development, growth and effectiveness.
