Our Approach to Coaching
Our coaching programs are designed to bring about lasting, significant and positive change. Our coaching practice is evidence-based, and uses a cognitive-behavioural, strengths-based, and solution-focused framework, incorporating broader positive psychology and resilience interventions where relevant to the achievement of coaching goals. Our leadership coaching is supported by The Leadership Circle™ 360 and Harrison Assessment™ tools. Our resilience coaching is supported by the R@W (Resilience at Work) suite of surveys.
Coaching programs are personal and contextual. At the start of a program, broad coaching goals are established, and each session is individually tailored to support the client in making the changes needed to achieve those goals. Organisational coaching programs may include 3-way meetings with the relevant manager to establish and monitor coaching goals.
Regardless of the issue, our professional coaching process helps clients learn how to establish tangible goals, develop and commit to workable plans, make good decisions, recognise limiting patterns of thinking, shift ineffective behaviours, overcome obstacles, solve problems, stay on track, sustain motivation and develop resilience.

Our Approach to Training and Facilitation
We understand adult learning and group processes and we use this expertise to create the best experience for the groups we work with as trainers or facilitators. We facilitate the learning or contribution of each and every member of the group, taking into account participant needs and your organisational context, and we ensure participant engagement occurs within a safe, positive, high energy, enthusiastic environment. Workshop content and methodology is developed in collaboration with you to maximise impact, take-up and workplace application. Workshop delivery incorporates a blend of training strategies, including presentation of theory, facilitated group discussion, practical activities and personal reflection. Handouts or workbooks containing relevant references and resources are made available for participants to aid with retention and application of workshop material.
Training can be delivered as ‘Lunch Bytes’ (45 minutes), in stand-alone 60 or 90-minute modules or in half day, full day or longer programs.
