SHORT ON TIME?
Don’t worry: our workshops are designed to pack in maximum value, without going on for hours! With your chance to ask questions. Typically they last 40 - 45 minutes.
WANT TO KEEP IT PRIVATE?
We’re passionate about community & it's something our students regularly share as an unexpected bonus of the training. For these sessions we don't have camera access and you can ask questions anonymously. We don't have break out rooms or cameras on in these sessions as we've not had time to contract as a group: this also means we can share the recordings.

WHAT IS EVIDENCE-BASED COACHING?
Coaching is client driven and non-directive. It focuses on improving performance and developing an individual in whichever area of their life, business or career they want to focus on.
By applying evidence-based coaching techniques, a coach can help drive lasting changes in their client's behaviour and embed new habits. This in turn allows the client to move forward in specific areas of their lives, in powerful new ways (and is a huge part of what makes working as a coach so rewarding!).
We integrate research into our training and combine it with developing practical skills so you know that what we teach works.

Become A Better Coach
Perhaps you have some coaching experience, but you want to deepen your knowledge. Coaching Experience Week will help you become more effective and send your success levels soaring, with evidence-based strategies that produce powerful outcomes for your clients!
Why Is Working With The Whole Person Important?
"It gives you flexibility as a coach, knowing you can adapt what you offer, based on the client in front of you. Research into coaching effectiveness has also found that flexibility is one of the qualities of great coaches helping them to support clients as an individual.
By putting your clients at the heart of the coaching relationship we believe you can have more transformational conversations and build deeper levels of trust (and rapport).
For me, these methods have transformed how I coach and the way we train our students at Optimus Coach Academy”
