A note on the investment:

It is important to realise that this really is an investment.

Clearly it costs money to train and may feel like an expense.  But all training should bring with it a return, whether that’s giving you the foundations of a coaching business, improving your employability or giving you fulfilment in what you do.

We believe it’s important that you treat this as an investment in yourself and know how it is going to pay for itself either financially or emotionally.  An expense is gone forever, an investment pays for life.

Foundation Course in Group Coaching and Facilitation

This is a two-day live training course which gives you solid grounding in the techniques for coaching and facilitating groups from 5 to 5,000 people.

Over the course of two days you will learn key approaches for harnessing the power of the group in coaching, for creating a learning space for each member and for dealing with large organisational and community based consultations and facilitated events.

Being and Meaning Masterclass

This two day course addresses clients issues at their most fundamental, existential level of meaning and the purpose of being.

Drawing on existential thought from Shakespeare to the Matrix and from Nietzsche to Auster, you will discover how concerns with death, meaninglessness and isolation form the foundations of human thought, emotion and behaviour.

And you’ll learn how you can coach on these issues enabling the client to greater self-knowledge and understanding and hence a freedom to act and choose.
