A practical, high-impact programme that equips you with the thinking frameworks and conversation skills to unlock performance, clarity, and action in your team.

  • Practical coaching tools you can use immediately in everyday conversations
  • A structured Go M.A.D. approach to performance and development discussions
  • Peer support and real-world application between sessions
  • Detailed written feedback on your coaching effectiveness from our team

To showcase your coaching capability and receive your accreditation, you’ll share:

  • 1 recorded coaching conversation (video) — demonstrating your use of frameworks, quality of questions, and ability to develop clarity and action in your coachee
  • 3 coachee testimonials — capturing the tangible difference your coaching has made to their performance, confidence, or focus
