Internationally Accredited coach training that changes how you work, lead and live, now and in the future
If you’re curious about what coaches actually do, or wondering whether coaching might be part of your future work or life, you’re in the right place.
Many of our students arrive at Wise Goose during moments of change, wanting to support others more effectively, as well as bring more balance and purpose to their own working lives. Some want to integrate coaching into existing roles to bring greater depth into their leadership or practice. Others plan to become a professional coach or add it to a wider portfolio of work.
“For me the course was life changing. The balance in all aspects of my life is much improved. I’ve created time to do the things that really matter to me, give me meaning, and enable me to look after myself and my own well-being, which enables me to do a good job in my work and share what I’ve learnt with colleagues.“
What the course does is enable you to think about what matters most and ask how you are living your life true to the values that you hold. ”
– Alumni Catherine Rees – School Improvement Leader
Wise Goose courses are accredited by the Association for Coaching and the Institute of Leadership. Our approach combines rigour with reflection, by bringing together proven coaching frameworks, psychological mindedness, and a learning process rooted in Action Research and Action Inquiry. These offer a simple but powerful cycle of acting, reflecting and learning that helps coaches work with awareness, curiosity and depth.
While coaching includes frameworks and achieving goals, we believe it can be much more than this. We teach the tools and structures you need, and we also go beyond them. Rather than memorising techniques, you learn through real situations, developing the grounded presence and experimental mindset needed to navigate complexity, tap into the questions and issues that matter and support wiser choices.
Action Inquiry, in particular, develops an ongoing habit of pausing, noticing and adjusting, a lifelong form of transformational learning that helps individuals and organisations act in more effective and sustainable ways. Together, these approaches create a vibrant learning community where you can develop your own style and integrate coaching into the work and life you already have.
At Wise Goose we teach coaching as a way of being: listening deeply, working with complexity, navigating dilemmas and possibilities, widening perspectives and creating spaces where new understanding can emerge. It’s courageous, transformative work – we think of it as “coaching with a soul.”
Whether you’re exploring coaching for the first time or ready to deepen your practice, you’ll join a supportive cohort and learn through practice, feedback and reflective inquiry.

“I spent a long time looking for a coaching course. None of the others ‘called to me’. When I found Wise Goose I emailed within 5 minutes of landing on the website and started training a few days later.
It was transformational. I now feel emboldened to bring a more values‑driven and authentic approach to my work. ‘Positive impact’ is at the heart of everything I do, for people, community and planet. I feel like I’m part of something special… almost like being part of a movement.”
– Alumni Gary King, Business Psychologist and consultant. Co-Founder of Create Flow
