Thinking about becoming a coach? Wondering how coaching might fit into your work and life?
Join Wise Goose trainers Sybille Schiffmann and Helen Sieroda and discover what professional coaching is all about.
We understand that signing up for a Coach Training Course is a big commitment, in both time and money. Our two free ‘discovery’ sessions are important milestones on your way to a clear and confident decision about whether coaching is the right approach for you.
Don’t worry, ‘First Steps’ and ‘Next Steps’ don’t need to be taken in order – just come along whenever works best for you. You’re welcome to do both or even repeat!

You will leave our ‘First Steps into Coaching’ with a clear overview of what coaching is, how it works, and what it can do. This free 3-hour online interactive taster is designed for anyone considering coach training or simply wanting to learn more about coaching.
You’ll have a chance to have a go at coaching and being coached and learn:
- How coaching can enrich your professional and personal life

2. Next Steps into Coaching
You will leave this Free session with a clearer idea of how building on your unique knowledge, talents, and strengths can make coaching work for you. You’ll learn more about how coaching could be part of creating a fulfilling future, and the power of integrating coaching into leadership, management, education, and everyday roles.
We’ll tackle some questions that matter when considering training to be a coach:
- Is coaching a real, viable career?
- What niche should I choose? Do niches matter?
- How can coaching enhance my current role as a leader, manager, educator, consultant, or even in community or social impact work?
- What do I need to succeed?
- How do I attract clients and build a business?
There’ll be space for an honest conversation about opportunities and challenges in the coaching world. You’ll gain clarity on how coaching could fit into your life, what conditions support success, whether coaching aligns with your values, lifestyle, and aspirations, and assess if coach training is right for you.
