Who we are
We are Claire and Jana, coaches with a passion for Group Coaching. One is an extrovert and one is an introvert – can you tell from our photos? We are thrilled to be offering this Group Coaching training programme as we believe deeply in community, CPD and the power of Group Coaching to make a difference in the world.
We model inclusivity throughout our work and this programme by creating a learning space which is open and holding and allows people to be who they really are. There’s no judgment here. We’re great believers in ‘who we are is how we coach’ and that when we bring together humans in all their diversity we create something powerful. The whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts.
Why us – We are passionate, compassionate and advocates for the power of coaching. We want to support coaches to be their best selves and offer the best group coaching programmes they possibly can. We understand we are all always learning, and enjoy learning from our participants as well as sharing our wealth of knowledge and experience. Between us, we have a wealth of experience in group coaching, group facilitation, training, team development and coaching supervision. We are highly qualified coaches and subscribe to the Global Code of Ethics for coaches and mentors.
Our way – We are both creative, intuitive and caring. We understand people have different learning styles and preferences, and lean towards doing things differently, for example this is the only programme offering practical chances to practice Group Coaching to capture your learning.
How we work – one the one hand we have a strong structure so you experience a programme which is coherent and focussed. On the other, we are skilled at working with you and what emerges each time we meet, enabling learning through flexibility, exploration and curiosity. We like to keep our group sizes small (a maximum of 12) to give maximum opportunity for sharing of ideas while at the same time providing meaningful support.
