Gestalt Coaching Certification (GPCC™) Program and Coach Training: Creating Partnerships for Change

The Gestalt Institute of Cleveland's Professional Coach Certification Program and coaching workshops are ideal opportunities to develop, expand, and enhance your coaching skills and approach. Over 10 years ago, the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland became the first organization to offer Gestalt coach training. Since then it has evolved to an approach that increases the coach's potency as a change partner through deeper and more comprehensive coaching. This dynamic, creative, and holistic approach to coaching is founded on the Gestalt Coaching Stance. This stance embraces:

• Building awareness of self, others and the environment
• Seeing the client and his/her environment as a whole
• Choiceful use of self as an instrument of change
• Seeing and working with the whole person: body, mind, emotions, spirit and relationships
• Mindful presence and meaningful contact
• Building on the client's resources and strengths
• Taking an experimental stance
• Co-creating the relational field and providing what is missing in this field
• Attending to what is emerging in the moment
• Managing a range of multiple realities

Our training provides an engaging and empowering approach which embraces both personal and professional growth. Using the unique and powerful Gestalt self-discovery process, previously unrecognized strengths are revealed and the range of successful coaching behaviors is increased. This combination enables both new and experienced coaches to build upon their existing competencies.
