Learn To Coach With Purpose And Integrity

Our accredited programmes combine practical tools with deep reflection and presence, helping you coach with confidence and create lasting impact.

We created Wise Goose to train the next generation of coaches; trusted ‘thinking partners’ who help individuals, communities and leaders create clarity and bridge the gap between beautiful visions, good intentions and the complex realities of everyday life. Our work is about developing coaches who can support clients to navigate both dreams and dilemmas, complexity and ethical ambiguity. It’s about widening perspectives, creating spaces where new understandings can emerge, and supporting our students and clients to create meaningful change in themselves and the world. Coaching with deep purpose and presence is rich, courageous work. It is, at its heart, coaching with a ‘soul’.

Our Courses

Our Coaching Programmes: Accredited, Experiential and Transformative

All Wise Goose courses are accredited by the Association for Coaching and the Institute of Leadership. Each programme blends experiential learning with proven coaching frameworks, creating a vibrant learning community where you can design your own unique coaching path.

Whether you want to integrate coaching into your current role, become a life coach, executive coach, or wellness coach, you’ll gain essential skills and principles to make coaching a powerful part of your work and life.

Foundations Course

Looking for basic coaching skills to apply in your work and life? Our Foundations Programme is a five-day standalone introduction to coaching. It’s ideal if you’re not ready to commit to a full qualification but want practical tools you can use immediately. If you decide to continue later, you can build on this foundation.

Advanced Programme

Ready to transform lives and make a lasting impact? Our Advanced Coaching Programme is a one-year, in-depth journey accredited at the Association for Coaching Advanced Diploma level and approved by the Institute of Leadership. You’ll learn to work as a psychologically-minded coach, integrate systemic perspectives, and apply tried-and-tested coaching techniques. This programme is both professionally and personally transformative

Our approach

Today’s coaches need to work deeply and with breadth – to move beyond an exclusive focus on personal performance and narrow measures of success. This takes high levels of self-awareness, presence and skill.

At Wise Goose we bring a seriously playful curiosity to the questions of the kind of work coaches are now being asked do and what the field of coaching might become in the future.

Our approach includes the bigger picture – transforming the way we see ourselves and our place in the world, partnering with clients to create a better world for themselves and wider communities – we think of this as creating success with a soul.  With this in mind we undertake voluntary work with the local community and /or environmental organisations and make donations ‘in kind’. This includes: 

  • giving at least one (usually more) free training spaces worth £1,500 and £4,500 to a charity, social enterprise or that can make good use of a coaching style into their teams/organizational culture.
  • on a case-by-case basis, offer bursaries to candidates who cannot pay full fee with preference shown to those who are from underserved groups themselves, including women owned enterprises, or who work with underserved groups, or in areas social justice or sustainability.
  • offering 20% reduction in fees to B Corporations and graduates of MSc Responsibility in Business Practice (University of Bath)  & Sustainability and Responsibility (Ashridge.)
  • Provide ‘pro bono’ or low cost coaching and mentoring to charities where resources permit.

Who it’s for

With Wise Goose you’ll learn how to engage in coaching conversations that dig deep for what is important and meaningful. You’ll learn how to spark deep curiosity, shift conversations from what’s broken to what’s possible. You will participate in a learning journey that our students often describe as personally and professionally  transformational.

We welcome people from a wide range of sectors and backgrounds, a wonderful diversity that creates a rich, dynamic and inspirational learning experience. But whatever their backgrounds they have one thing in common: they have been drawn to coaching because they want to do worthwhile work that makes a difference.
