The Academy of Executive Coaching (AoEC) is proud to announce the launch of its Master Practitioner Diploma in Embodied Dialogue Coaching - an advanced training programme designed for experienced coaches seeking to deepen their impact and elevate their professional practice.
Exclusively for coaches with 500+ hours of experience, this pioneering programme blends Gestalt-based theory, embodied techniques and relational mastery. It offers a transformational pathway beyond performance-focused interventions into the realm of profound personal and organisational change.
Led by AoEC founder and renowned Gestalt practitioner John Leary-Joyce, the programme draws on five decades of expertise in adult development, psychotherapy and coaching supervision. Participants will benchmark their current practice, explore advanced methodologies, cultivate presence and relational depth as instruments of transformation and build confidence in working with embodied presence.
Delivered in a hybrid format, the programme includes three virtual workshops, a four-day in-person residential, group mentor coaching and self-directed practice and has 16 places available globally.
With optional pathways to ICF Level 2 PCC or Level 3 MCC this is advanced learning for coaches ready to coach at the level of Being - not just Doing.
John Leary-Joyce comments: "This programme is for coaches who feel called to work at greater depth - using their presence as a finely tuned instrument of transformational change. It develops the quality of dialogue and connection that enables clients to dissolve the blocks that limit their potential and wellbeing. The programme helps practitioners bring intuitive insights more fully into their work and build the confidence to operate near the coaching/therapy boundary.
"The Embodied Dialogue work will challenge coaches to move into territory that is emotionally, relationally and existentially rich - work that is not only deeply satisfying for the practitioner, but life-changing for clients.”
