Gavin Grift is a Training Associate with Thinking Collaborative and one of the most experienced facilitators of Cognitive CoachingSM working in education internationally. He has trained and coached educators across Australia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Europe, helping schools and systems build cultures where professional growth is ongoing, collaborative and embedded in everyday practice.

As Founder of Ingrove Group and the author of nine books on leadership, collaboration and professional learning, Gavin brings to this seminar a genuine mastery of the Cognitive CoachingSM framework alongside thirty years of experience in the realities of school leadership.

His facilitation is precise without being prescriptive, and deeply personal without losing its rigour. Participants leave with a clearer sense of what it means to support another person’s thinking with genuine care and craft, and with the maps and tools to do it well.
