Foundations of Coaching - full day workshop

"I would like to take a moment to say, on behalf of the team, another big ‘Thank You’ for your time with us yesterday. The ideas, skills, tips and techniques you shared with us has definitely made an impact on the way we look at our reality and it will be something we discuss and implement for many months to come. We have already added terms like ‘at cause’, ‘the map’ and ‘Be-Do-Have’ into a daily vocabulary and it’s only be a day. With a common development goal I have found it has brought us closer together as a team and energized us to begin exploring more coaching possibilities.

Today we are implementing our weekly coaching self assessment sheets to continue our learning and development in the area and we hope, in a few months, when you ask “So, how’s that working for you?” we can say “awesome”. Thanks again for all your patience and guidance and we all look forward to the chance to work with you again." Jason Travis (International Training Consultant, Gloria Jean's Coffees)
