Growth Coaching International (GCI), Australia and New Zealand's leading provider of coaching professional development for educators, presents this two-day Introduction to Leadership Coaching course in Sydney CBD on September 15–16, 2026. With more than two decades of experience training educational leaders, GCI has established itself as the trusted authority on coaching approaches in schools, and this foundational course is designed for educators ready to integrate coaching into their leadership practice. The course explores three core elements of effective coaching: the GROWTH conversational framework, which provides a structured yet flexible approach to coaching conversations; the key coaching skills that underpin productive dialogue; and what GCI calls a 'coaching way of being'—the mindset and relational stance that transforms everyday leadership interactions. Participants will engage in extensive practice opportunities, working through real scenarios from their own professional contexts to develop confidence in using coaching approaches with colleagues, teams, and individuals. GCI's training is distinguished by its research-informed intellectual property, interactive and engaging learning design, and expert facilitation by consultants who bring deep experience in educational contexts. This face-to-face format allows for rich peer learning and relationship-building alongside skill development. Participants receive a GCI Certificate upon completion. The course is ideal for school leaders, aspiring leaders, instructional coaches, and any educator seeking to develop a coaching approach to leadership that empowers others and builds collective capacity within their school community.
