Training and Coaching

What's the Difference between Training and Coaching?

Coaching is a dynamic process that enables and supports you to make change in your personal or working life. Your highest potential lies in discovering more about yourself and finding the confidence to test new realities of thinking, socialising and doing - your coach is the mirror that helps you see and do this in an experiential way.

Your relationship with your coach is key - it is the commitment and dynamic between you that will make the difference and gently ease you to your highest potential. The personalised experiential nature of coaching makes the content liable to be more fluid and context-driven.

Training is an educational process where you are taught specific information through a variety of learning techniques. The onus is on the trainer to impart the information and on you to absorb it - it is usually a one-way dynamic of teacher / student. You will not always have an ongoing relationship with your trainer, whereas the pivotal coaching alliance allows for follow up and accountability. 

The attraction of one-to-one coaching as a more appropriate type of learning support than one size fits all group based intervention for very senior managers is well documented.  

Success is a journey rather than a destination and that's why we ask you to invest in an ongoing relationship with us.

Even though coaching is different from training in several ways, they can compliment each other very well as we integrate coaching into our leadership training programmes, build in a system for on-going learning, and sustained behaviour change that can exponentially increase the results of your initiatives.

Yet, for many organisations training remains the favoured method of executive support even if the sustainability of stand-alone training interventions has been shown to compare poorly with the results of a coaching program in the longer-term.

Whether you wish to change your life/career, increase your vitality or learn successful behaviours for business and leadership, we offer you integrated programmes, from highly qualified, approachable and experienced trainers and coaches, offering sheer excellence in their field of knowledge.

Choose your preference for coaching: 1-1 basis or group basis.

Note: Groups can also enrol as a unit in any of our personal development workshops.
