About Solutions Focus Coaching Masterclass

This two-day advanced-skills course delves into Solutions Focus and the way in which it integrates with the GROWTH Framework and 'key coaching skills'.

Solutions Focus is a powerful yet subtle approach to positive change. From its origins twenty years ago, it is now being used by major corporations, top business schools and many coaches and consultants as the methodology of choice where effective, respectful and lasting change is wanted. 

The Solutions Focus approach will help you to work with change, emergence and the unexpected more confidently. The philosophy is practical and can be used in any form of interaction whether with teams, members of staff, or even in your personal conversations. You will build a greater awareness of the impact of words and language, and use them even more skilfully.

  • Learn how to integrate proven Solution Focus (SF) tools and concepts into your coaching
  • Use an emergent tool-based approach to better respond to the coachee - using the six Solution Tools and five Solution Focused Boosters
  • Learn to focus more on the coachee and their language
  • Work in a broader range of contexts, building on a 'not-knowing' approach
  • Understand the philosophical principles of Solutions Focus Coaching, based on the assumption that 'change is happening all the time'
  • Build extra flexibility and confidence to work with whatever happens

Learning Design

At GCI, we believe that we act our way into learning rather than learn our way into acting. With this principle in mind, all of our courses have a strong emphasis on practice.

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


The Solutions Focus Coaching Masterclass is available in a range of delivery patterns:

  • Two full-days consecutively (in-person only)
  • Two full-days spaced (in-person or online)
  • Blended option with one full-day in-person and remainder online
Our Facilitators

As a coaching organisation, we endeavour to model a ‘coaching way of being’ in our interactions with our clients by being:

  • Respectful
  • Humble
  • Curious
  • Strengths-focused
  • Reflective

We encourage a culture of high expectations through our commitment to the ongoing development of our people based on mutual respect and collaboration. Our consultants are expert coach practitioners who draw on a wealth of educational experience to provide the highest level of service as coaches and trainers.
