Zach Groshell

Director of Steplab North America - Steplab

The Steplab team is set to lead impactful training for instructional leaders and coaches in Charlotte, New York and Philadelphia

(We also offer in-person training in Australia and the UK. For our remote training offer check out our Training & Support pages.)

Alongside our Coaching Ambassador Program, we are launching one-day Instructional Coaching Intensives to help coaches and leaders implement high-impact coaching and PD programs.

We'll be delivering our training days in Charlotte (NC), New York City (NY) and Philadelphia (PA). Join us to gain practical strategies, deepen your expertise, and elevate your impact.

These in-person training events are led by expert Coaching Development Leads with extensive experience in instructional coaching and PD leadership and are incredibly well received by delegates:

"I attended the course without knowing anything about Steplab. After the day's input I feel able to begin coaching due to the detailed steps provided."
“I have been able to deepen my knowledge and reflect strategically on our PD implementation.”
"Even in a big room full of people the session felt personalised to me."
