We recognise that each individual and team has unique needs and aspirations. We offer ‘structured flexibility’ – providing options for you to choose from that can help frame what you need, but with enough flexibility to support your evolving needs. This is a blend of structured programs and flexible options to create bespoke coaching experiences that align with your specific goal. Either option will enable and empower professional development, school improvement and individual / organisational wellbeing, through a combination of experiential learning and development of theory into practice. Whether you’re looking for comprehensive programs or targeted interventions, we are committed to delivering coaching solutions that drive meaningful and lasting change.

Here’s an overview of our key services and their intended outcomes:

Building Your Team: Exploring Profiles Using MBTI

Understanding the diverse personalities within a team is crucial for developing effective collaboration and communication. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a powerful tool that helps individuals gain self-awareness and appreciate the differences in others. By exploring MBTI profiles, teams can identify strengths, improve interpersonal dynamics, and enhance collective performance.

MBTI Profiling

Using the evidence-based Myer Briggs Type Indicator Assessment, we can support you to explore your unique profile. Following this assessment, we will work with 1:1 to verify your results and explore what this means to you. As an individual or as part of a team, we can then coach you to explore the following:

Enhancing communication
Coping with stress
Making better decisions
Managing conflict

MBTI Workshops

Following MBTI profiling for your team, we can also offer our MBTI workshops. These workshops provide insights into personality types, facilitating better understanding and cooperation among team members. Expected outcomes include improved team cohesion, enhanced communication, and a more harmonious working environment.

Enhancing emotional Intelligence
Embracing Change
Leader Development

Coaching Skills in Education

In the educational sector, coaching skills are essential for promoting student development, supporting colleagues, and nurturing a positive learning environment. The sessions focus on core competencies such as active listening, effective questioning, feedback delivery, and goal-setting. Participants will practice a coaching approach in conversations, explore providing constructive feedback, and address challenging situations with confidence. By linking these skills to emotional intelligence and well-being, staff can create supportive and nurturing environments for both students and staff. Intended outcomes include increased self-awareness, improved decision-making skills, and a clear understanding of how coaching can be a catalyst for positive change.

Investment in 1:1 coaching is an investment in organisational development and growth.

Typically comprising 4-6 sessions, these sessions are designed to provide flexibility while ensuring a structured approach to personal growth. Our coach will work collaboratively with individuals to tailor the process to their unique needs and aspirations.

Team Coaching

Team coaching will support identified teams to work together successfully with each other and as part of the wider environment. Team coaching supports lasting change through the development of trust, creating different and better ways of working and thinking, for the ultimate goal of profiting from the collective potential within the team.
