Support & Development Services
Professional coaching is a partnership which uses thoughtful conversations giving you the opportunity to explore who you are, what you do, and how you do it. As you talk and the coach listens and asks questions, you make your own learning discoveries, and then plan new actions. With you setting the agenda, coaching is support and development crafted to you, not the crowd.
Supervision or Mentoring are also shaped by you, but here you get to draw on the mentor’s experience and insights as a practitioner in the not for profit sector.
Enneagram development with the iEQ9 Integrative professional approach offers a dynamic tool to understand what motivates you, maximising your strengths and managing your shortcomings. A mix of coaching, mentoring, and training, and a personalised professional report, enable you to develop and grow, bringing your best self to life and work. Also available for teams.

Professional Coaching: what’s it for?
Clarity & Precision
“I want to see my situation/problem more clearly and decide how to work with it.”
Support & Care
“I’m going through a difficult time and need some personal & professional reinforcements.”
Exploration, Discovery & Insight
“I want to find out who I am, or who I could be [in this role].”
Identity & Purpose
“I want to find or more effectively fulfil my purpose in life.”
Performance & Behaviour
“I want to improve or change what I do or how I do it.”
Support & Development for Teams
Facilitation of team processes, meetings & conversations. Successful meetings harness the wisdom and experience of everyone present to reach outcomes they couldn’t have achieved individually. We work with you to determine what needs to be achieved for your unique situation, and then facilitate the group ensuring everyone can make their best contribution.
Group coaching is a rich learning approach gathering insights from the whole group and planning next actions, whilst keeping the space safe for everyone to fully participate.
Training and learning together builds team culture, a shared language, and common ways of doing the work. Our workshops in a range of not for profit elements, are based on research, proven theories, and pragmatic experience. Shaped to your team’s strengths and identity, they enable development of skills, knowledge and confidence.
Strategic evaluation, thinking, & planning. For your work to remain relevant and have impact, it requires periodic evaluation and adjustment. We support your team to get perspective and determine how best to position what you do for the future, developing a shared document to guide the way ahead.
