“Coaching for Performance provides a foundation for those who want to understand the potential and power of coaching.”

Launch Your Coaching Career With The Co-creators of The GROW(TM) Model
Each module of the program blends proven frameworks, practical experience and expert supervision over 4 half-days to help you coach confidently, ethically and effectively in complex professional settings.
You will learn how to use the GROW(TM) properly – not mechanically in isolation but together with transformational coaching skills – as intended by its co-creator Sir John Whitmore, and as practiced by Performance Consultants trained coaches around the world.
The live teaching and practice modules are complemented by digital resources, community-building activities, workbooks and more, all delivered via a 12-month access to the online Performance Hub.
