Community of Practice
Coach More Effectively
Is it Supervision?
Is it Mentor Coaching?
Is it Live Coaching with Discussion?
It takes qualities from all three. A Community of Practice.
For coaches who want to continue learning, developing and growing with live coaching, live discussion.
REFINE YOUR COACHING, EXPAND YOUR SKILLSET AND LEARN LIVE WITH DEMONSTRATIONS AND DISCUSSION
Learn new theories, approaches, techniques and ways of working effectively as a coach.
Digest and discuss live coaching and help embed new coaching approaches and techniques.
Expand, Deepen and Accelerate your Coaching
You’ve taken your coaching training. You’re qualified. But missing the opportunity to practice coaching and learn with others. Worried that your sharpness, your presence or your confidence might be plateauing or stagnating.
You want some fresh perspectives, some new tools and techniques. But you’re not feeling fully confident to try these out on ‘real’ clients yet.
You’d value the space to come and observe some different coaching, to discuss it. To learn from others. To bridge the gap between the theoretical and the practical.
What exactly is a Community of Practice?
Community – coming together, connecting, shared learning and experience
Practice – turning theory into action, experimenting, learning and upskilling
Coaching can be lonely work. It can invite us to self-criticise, to think we’re not enough. That we are rubbish coaches.
Here is a place to come together every few months. To reconnect with each other, but reconnect with our learning, our development. To keep stretching ourselves, so that we remain sharp and effective for our clients.
Too many coaches lose momentum, lose confidence and either give up or fall into comfortable, well-worn patterns in their coaching. This is space for you to stay sharp. Stay curious. And to come to your learning edge.
Group members will be able to bring approaches and theories they want to learn more about and to have them explored, discussed and demonstrated.
It might be that you want to work more deeply with Gestalt. Or bring a more systemic enquiry to your coaching. You may want to lead with more challenge. Or sit back into greater silence and presence. And you may well want to work more somatically. This will be a safe, supportive environment to deepen your understanding.
George introduced various tools, techniques, and teachings in a manner that kept our sessions dynamic and engaging. As a fan of Gestalt, I particularly appreciated how seamlessly he integrated his techniques, providing profound and meaningful experiences.
The Community of Practice Program
Meeting regularly over a year, there will be 6 group sessions, at times and dates agreed by the group. These will involve live coaching practice, with feedback. With space for questions and discussion.
It will be a safe, but energising and playful place to experiment with your coaching. To bridge the gap between theory and knowledge. To unfold and expand as a coach and lean into deeper presence.
In combination, you’ll enjoy 3 x 1:1 sessions with George. These are just for you, and can be your choice of coaching, ICF mentor coaching, supervision or mentoring.

You and I will probably be a good fit if you….
Hold questions and doubts about a more surface level, or transactional focus on goals and performance in coaching.
You want something deeper, perhaps more meaningful or profound in how you coach.
Seek a better understanding of some more psychological theories and approaches in your coaching approach
Want to further align and synthesise your personal and professional values within your coaching. Perhaps your love or nature and outdoors. Your spirituality or faith. Your identity.
You are interested in explored interconnectedness and systemic theory within your coaching.
There is room for more creativity, more confidence in not knowing, more experimental techniques.
You seek to coach at greater depth, profundity and with greater presence than you currently are.

I thoroughly enjoyed being part of George's mentoring programme. In the group sessions, it was very useful to observe other participants' coaching styles and to witness George's own deep, lucid and effective coaching.
Both in the group and individual sessions, I found our discussions around various aspects of coaching thought provoking and I was able to find more clarity around some key questions I had.
