Coach Development/ CPD

Coaching is a development activity in and of itself – both coach and client will grow as a result of the conversation. We firmly believe that coaches need to continually add to their repertoire of skills, capacity and awareness in order to serve the client well.

Reflective practice, supervision conversations and peer discussions will all inform our development as coaches, and serve to highlight potential gaps, blindspots and areas for further exploration.

We’ve been providing CPD sessions for coaches and internal coaching programmes for many years; we’re continually updating the suite of sessions and development workshops delivered to coaches within our client organisations.

Some of the CPD sessions and workshops will be available on an open basis – any coach can book to join.

The tailored CPD sessions enable our internal coaches to continually raise their game; sharp, focused and totally on-point these sessions give fantastic value to our coaches and their clients.
