The Growth Coaching International (GCI) and The Instructional Coaching Group (ICG) have been at the forefront of global research and the leading practitioners of coaching in education and instructional coaching in schools for over 20 years.

Conversation is the basic unit of change in human-centric organisations. If you can improve the quality of the conversation, you can often improve everything that surrounds it.

Thousands of educators around the world have partnered with GCI/ICG to embed instructional coaching and leadership practices that create student-centred, solutions-focused school cultures prioritising learning and wellbeing. Through targeted professional learning courses, coaching, and tailored consultancy support, we work alongside schools and systems to implement sustainable, high-impact coaching approaches.

GCI story has its beginnings in the first years of the 21st Century when executive coaching was still in its infancy. Early pioneer Mandy O’Bree was touched by the impact of coaching and started to see it as a critical element of professional learning.Mandy established Australian Growth Coaching in 2002 after developing the GROWTH model with a colleague. While we are proud to be an Australian based organisation with many years of experience working alongside Australian educators, we are now one of the world’s leading providers of coaching, consultancy and training courses to educators around the globe.
