“Overthinking in the coach leads to underthinking in the coachee”
Claire Pedrick
Three two hour sessions with me and Claire Pedrick, master certified coach, co-founder of 3D Coaching and author of The Human Behind the Coach – How great coaches transform themselves first and Simplifying Coaching – How to have more transformational conversations by doing less.
The sessions use improv as a springboard into developing the coaching skills of presence, listening, allowing, responding and accompanying your client in their process of discovery.
There’s no top down curriculum. It’s a chance to explore your own patterns experientially. We’ll laugh, play and create and Claire will lead enquiries into what you notice and how that can support your growth as a coach.
The sessions count towards training hours for ICF accreditation.
The course is organised by 3D Coaching so to book, go to the 3D Coaching website here. (You may as well have a look around at the other wonderful things they do while you’re there.)
There’s also an in-person version held in Warwick, UK with Claire and coach/improviser Stuart Reid.

To help you decide if it’s right for you, here is a conversation Claire and I had recently on improv and coaching. There are also many other wonderful episodes to explore on Claire’s podcast.
In in we discussed:
- Stepping into the unknown and being present with what emerges
- Trusting the moment and allowing something fresh to emerge
