Benefits

A professional coach will have the tools, capabilities and knowledge to support learning, development and growth in their colleagues and clients. 

A variety of studies have shown that coaching is highly valued by an increasing number of organisations, and the benefits include:

A safe, dedicated space to reframe and resolve problems.  Coaching provides a safe, confidential space which enables people to talk openly and gain new perspectives on problems and people.

Lasting positive change. Coaching results in lasting positive change, in terms of personal, business and team outcomes. It leads to the development of new capabilities and mind-sets, improvements in wellbeing, confidence and motivation and strengthened leadership identity.

 Improved leadership style. The reflection associated with coaching improves people’s leadership style:

 “You’re a different kind of leader. You handle things in a different way to you had in the past...more patience and more empathy and more consideration...that lots of people have things to offer" -  (Dan, Chief Customer Excellence Officer, financial services).

Reflection discussion enabling learning from past mistakes. Coaching enables reflection on experience, and encourages the processes of learning and improvement.

Our tutors are carefully selected for their blend of exemplary academic credentials (MSc level and beyond) and experience in professional practice. All work as executive coaches, and bring both the most up to date theory and research in this field, and first-hand experience to ensure every session is directly relevant to working as a professional coach.‌
