What if coach training was about more than learning new skills?

For Edy Garfinkiel, the GPCC™ Coach Certification Program became a transformative experience that supported both personal and professional growth.

"This program truly helped me become more myself. It wasn’t just about learning to coach. The process itself was deeply transformative at a time in my life when I really needed focus and growth."

At the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland, we believe meaningful coach development begins with self-awareness, presence, and authentic connection.

As an ICF Level 2 accredited coach certification program, GPCC™ combines rigorous coach education with experiential learning that supports both professional competency and personal transformation.

Thank you, Edy, for sharing your experience.

What does meaningful growth look like in your life right now?

"Dare I, the reason the name Gestalt 6.0 is that participants will learn an application that holds and implements multiple gestalt concepts simultaneously in a systems approach.

The result is that application and implementation of "Gestalt” principles into an organizational system happens at speed, with less resistance, and measurable performance in real time. Unconscious habits get replaced by conscious choice. The human playing field becomes more fun, and return on investment shows up in real time.

This IS gestalt 6.0. This session shares the how, why AND what of Gestalt. Participants can put tools learned in this clinic, to work immediately." -Rudy Miick, MA, CMC, FCSI

If you’re ready for real, measurable change, this is your next step.

There is a lot of emphasis in coaching on asking powerful questions.

And questions matter.
But in Gestalt coaching, the work goes further.

It is about how you meet the moment.

How you track what is happening beneath the words.
How you stay when the conversation becomes uncertain or complex.

That is where awareness expands.
And where meaningful change begins.

Hearing this from Kate Caldecourt, Strategy Architect LLC (Fort Collins, CO), says a lot.

Most coaching programs teach you how to structure a conversation.
Few prepare you for the moment when the conversation stops working.

In most environments, that’s the moment that matters.

When tension rises.
When priorities conflict.
When what’s being said isn’t what’s actually happening.

This is where GPCC™-trained coaches are different.

They don’t rely on a model to guide the conversation.
They work with what is happening in real time.

The result:
• Decisions get made with greater clarity and speed
• Leadership teams have more honest, productive conversations
• Complexity is worked through, not avoided or oversimplified

Coaching, at its best, isn’t about asking better questions.
It’s about working effectively in the moments where outcomes are shaped.

Natural ability matters.
But it is not the whole story.

Our choices are shaped by beliefs, experiences, expectations, and the moments that block or inspire us along the way.

Gestalt coaching helps us become aware of the fuller picture so we can move forward with greater clarity and choice.

People are coming to the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland from all over to study Gestalt coaching. This testimonial is from Kishma Patnaik, who traveled from California to join our 2025 to 2026 GPCC™ Coach Certification cohort.
