We promote coaching because as a process it speaks to our own values – it is future focused, relational, challenging, reality based and it brings about tremendous, positive change.
Effective coaching results in broadening repertoire and increasing performance – so that clients can contribute more positively and productively.
Accredited coaches help clients identify and solve work and personal challenges to achieve remarkable insights and success.
We are keen to develop potential and attentive to alerting people to all sorts of opportunities to develop their skills, confidence, work contribution and careers. Our coaching support is offered as a one-to-one service to help development practitioners (senior leaders, managers and staff) inspire and be inspired, improve their performance, better read the systems they are in, overcome challenges and motivate their teams.
We work alongside and in partnership with people from different cultures, sectors and working environments. We bring this understanding to our coaching relationships.
The Kairos project increases the impact of charities and NGOs worldwide by empowering senior management teams through executive coaching and leadership development.
They partner with clients to help them increase their funding capability, transform the way they work together, become more resilient and agile.

Each client and organisation is unique, so we design and tailor coaching for your particular needs and goals. Success in coaching depends on having a high level of trust in the relationship, so before your first coaching session you have a free introductory session to talk about your goals, how coaching works and to make sure your coach is a good match for your particular needs. We follow the International Coach Federation Code of Ethics so your coaching relationship will be confidential and professional at all times.
Back to topHaving a professional coach to help you focus on achieving your goals is very empowering. Typical ways in which coaching helps include:
As individual performance and motivation increase, productivity improves across the organisation:
With coaching, you have a professional expert focused entirely on your specific needs, so you can make rapid progress on the areas which are most important to you. The high quality, objective and immediate feedback you receive as you discuss your ideas will help you make a dramatic change in your personal insight and perspective.
In fact, coaching and training go very well together. Training provides great opportunities to learn new skills and meet with others. People who receive coaching after a training course find they have a much greater success rate in applying their new skills in the workplace.
Our coaching options mean that you can adapt your spending to your budget. You can take an Individual Session to address a specific topic, or you can have a Personal Programme or Organisational Programme to give you a series of coaching sessions at budget prices.
Back to topCoaching by phone provides three key advantages over face-to-face coaching:
If you’d prefer a face-to-face discussion, we can arrange this. Please call us to discuss options.
Back to topExperience tells us that 50 minutes on the phone is the optimum time for you to get the most benefit from the conversation you have with your coach. Many people find it is difficult to focus for longer than 50 minutes. We allow up to 10 minutes for the phone connection to be made so the 50 minutes is focused entirely on you and your goals.
We understand that you may have complex demands on your time and so we can offer sessions of different lengths; if you’d prefer to have a longer period please let us know. For face-to-face sessions, it is common to have a longer period, and this is reflected in our price structure.

Yes. Many organisations are training their managers to be in-house coaches. When managers learn coaching skills, it helps them to transform their people management style, unlocking the potential of their reports and so leading to increased productivity and morale.
Our coaches have experience in designing and implementing in-house coaching programmes and have a proven coaching toolkit to make it easy to train your managers in how to become coaches.
