Returning to the Heart of the Work
20 ICF CCE Units | For Graduates of the Deep Coaching Intensive
Over time, practitioners can drift from aspects of their Deep Coach training. Certain practices fall away. The depth of awareness and connection that was reached may slip beneath the surface of everyday life.
Deepening Practice offers a way to return with fresh perspective. This course is both a refresher and an expansion.
Upcoming Course Dates
February 26 - May 7, 2026
Thursdays 11:00 AM Eastern, 5:00 PM Europe / 9:30 PM India
Learning Leader: Leon VanderPol
Practice is a 10-week course with weekly 2-hour classes.
There is a 1-week break after the 5th class.
Why Deepening Practice?
Deepening Practice is the natural next step for those who want to continue living and coaching from the state of being awakened in the Deep Coaching Intensive.
Designed exclusively for DCI graduates, this course brings you back into the heart of the work.
You revisit the essential teachings and practices of Deep Coaching, while exploring new ways to integrate them more fully into your life and work.
Ashraf Helal | EgyptI’m so fortunate to have been a part of this learning experience with Leon, one that is simple, deep, and enlightening.
The course has been a mind-altering educational program and a transforming experience for me.
A Return to What Matters Most
The work of Deep Coaching deepens as you grow. This course helps you stay connected to the foundations that make such work possible.
Through coaching practice, mentoring and coaching supervision with Leon, and guided reflection, you will:
- Revisit and re-inhabit the core concepts and practices introduced in the DCI
- Renew your connection to presence-based coaching and strengthen your ability to create transformative spaces
- Reengage with practices you may have lost touch with and integrate them at a more embodied, mature level
- Expand your intuitive capacity and deepen your ability to sense into the client’s inner world
Strengthen confidence and fluidity in navigating transformational conversations
- Recommit to your own inner work—the source of every Deep Coach’s presence and power
Coaching Supervision
Coaching supervision is the practice of reflecting upon your work as a coach.
It is a collaborative learning process designed to build the capacity of the coach through reflective dialogue rather than one-way feedback.
Mentoring
The course aims to create a safe learning space for participants to practice Deep Coaching, and then to explore their own thought processes, experience and dynamics in the sessions.
It’s a unique opportunity to work in a small group within an enlivening learning environment.
Transformative Practice
The coursework will revisit the 9 transformational coaching practices introduced in the Deep Coaching Intensive.
Many past participants describe Deepening Practice as returning to familiar ground with new eyes, but lived and understood more deeply.
Suzi Finkelstein | AustraliaLeon, the course was so impactful for me! I gained professionally and personally.
The course enabled me to better integrate the methodology as well as experience the process vicariously. Leon, your honesty, accessibility and authenticity allowed us to follow your lead.
Course Features
Deepening Practice offers 20 Continuing Coach Education (CCE) units recognized by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). These units may be applied toward credential renewal or advanced professional development.
The course includes:
- Course Work: 20-hours of interactive classes with fellow DCI alumni
- Small Group (max 9): taught by founder Leon VanderPol
- New Resources: numerous Deep Coaching demonstrations and instructional audios
- Advanced teachings that build on the DCI foundation.
Deepening Practice brings you home to the essence of the Deep Coaching path: the cultivation of presence, the expanding of awareness, and the ability to support profound inner transformation in others.
It is a chance to reconnect with what first called you into this work—and to grow into the coach and human being you are truly becoming.
Suneeta Lawrence | IndiaThe course experience I had with Leon can’t be described in words. It was an awakening to a new self, and that to me was a major breakthrough.
It has also been a real blessing to learn, interact and share with other Deep Coaching alumni. Thank you for this experience!
