Libby Robinson, MCC - Director of Coach Training
The Advanced Coaching Practicum
Make a difference in the lives of others through an ontological approach.
The Advanced Coaching Practicum began over 10 years ago when a group of deeply experienced ontological coaches wanted a place to hone their craft. To become better and learn from each other. Over the years, coaches as far away as Thailand, India, the UK and France, Mexico, Columbia and Argentina have participated to either gain their ICF certification or to belong to a “community of practice” where they felt safe to both teach and learn. We are not in the business of a coaching school; we are a community where a coaching school arose. We do not seek out large numbers of students; we seek out students who are ready to learn transformational coaching, known by many as “ontological coaching”.
“This is the best Coaching training”
-
This is the Best Coaching Training; I'd confidently recommend to anyone considering becoming a Coach or willing to upskill to another level. Trust me. First, I am not being paid to advertise this program. I am a learner in this program that I have paid for; I like ontological coaching tremendously. Second, I have been practicing coaching for quite a long time, have been through several coaching training and certifications, and am an active member of the Institute of Coaching, the International Positive Psychology Association and other professional coaching associations. Not to impress you, but just to let you know this is an opinion of an educated consumer. Ontological Coaching will bring another level to how you listen, coach, and help your clients experience transformation.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sessions are Excellent
"I am enjoying the coach training program at Integral Leadership & Coaching with the goal to become an ICF accredited coach (ACC). The practice-oriented student, mentor, and public coaching sessions are excellent and allow students to work with all three ontological elements—body, emotion, and speech."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Instruction
“After many years of wanting to formalize my coaching education, I truly believe ACP is the right choice for me! I am grateful to receive excellent instruction, peer coaching and professional support!”
Renee Ragin
HR Specialist- Employee Engagement & Leadership Development
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Top of My Expectations
“I was looking forward to having a great learning experience but I have received something additional: a safe space to explore my deepest feelings, worries and thoughts and an outstanding community treating each other with respect and care. The complexity of the course, the individual coaching hours, the practice and the mentor coaching has been on top of my expectations and the learnings have exceeded the theory. I do believe we need a lifetime to become the ontological coach that we dream to be but the ACP is a great point to start!”
Alexandra Tudor
Training Manager - Genpact
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Impactful Learning Journeys
“I joined the Advanced Coaching Practicum (ACP) in 2020 to learn about Ontological coaching and to practice it. I shall not be exaggerating when I say that the ACP has been one of the most impactful learning journeys for me… this coming from someone who has had the opportunity to experience some of the finest corporate training programs at GE Crotonville.”

Ontological Coach Training Led by Masterful Coaches and Expert Authors
The Advanced Coaching Practicum (ACP) is a community of practice for coaches wanting to significantly advance their coaching skills and ability to create breakthroughs for their clients. Some classes are taught using a “Dojo” approach where experienced coaches learn and practice with less experienced coaches or even MCCs that drop by. “We are all equal on the mat”.
Some Programs are exclusive such as the Master Coaches Community which is for MCC or equivalent, or the Becoming MCC, which is for PCC coaches aspiring to obtain the highest credential.
All ACP sessions are led by master coaches trained in ontological or transformational coaching. Many of our teachers are also authors of books on coaching, leadership or related topics. See our Teachers.
