2. Shaping Your Next Chapter

“The whole session was just brilliant, I seriously wanted to stay on and learn more.”

Whether you’re considering a career as a professional coach, including coaching in a portfolio career, or looking for a more effective way of leading, supporting or developing others, you’ll leave this workshop with a clearer sense of what coaching could make possible in your life and work.

It offers established professionals who are wondering “What comes next?” a space to explore how coaching might become part of their future.

Together we’ll explore questions like:

  • How could coaching fit into my current role or future plans?
  • How might it support my next chapter, professionally or personally?
  • How do people build coaching into leadership, consulting, education, sustainability or social impact work?
  • What conditions support success in coach training and beyond?

There’ll be space for honest conversation about both the opportunities and realities of coaching, and time to explore whether coach training feels right for you.

You’ll leave with greater clarity about:

  • How coaching could fit into your life and work
  • Whether training is the right next step
  • How coaching can align with your values, strengths and future aspirations

You don’t need to know exactly where coaching will lead.

This workshop is an opportunity to explore what might be possible. There will be no hard sell, just space and time to think.
