There are plenty of our words on this website. Here’s what people who have trained with us have to say.
"Before I went on the Fundamentals training I strongly believed that I would make a great coach, and probably believed that I was already doing the job without realising it. But what the workshop showed me was how much more there was to be being a coach than just asking the right questions and listening, and how much more I had to learn. The Co-Active model and training I've gone through has given me an incredible foundation of skills, experience, support and tools..." Kate French CPCC, ACC, www.katefrench.com
"Less than 2 years ago I had never heard of coaching and now 2 years later, thanks to the unbelievably inspirational and professional training I have experienced through CTI, I am now a fully qualified professional coach and graduate of their challenging Leadership programme. I believe that coaching is so much more though than a new career - it really is a whole new way of life. Training through CTI has introduced me to a new galaxy of people and opportunities. I spent 25 years in a very successful marketing career before entering coaching so I know what the 'real world' is all about - and I know that it needs more CTI trained coaches like me! Tony Barton, CPCC, www.redkitecoaching.com
"Co-active coach training has jettisoned me into the coaching field. Through the rigorous and rich training I have received I have been able to give value to my clients and as a direct result my client base had rapidly expanded due to referrals and word of mouth. I have now left my role as a change management consultant to become a full time coach and my business continues to expand at a rate I hadn’t imagined." Karen Ali, www.karenali.co.uk
"Most importantly for me is the greater sense of purpose I now have and a real feeling of making a difference. The co-active courses, their inspiring leaders, and practical approach were the catalyst for many changes in my life. Thank you - it was great fun, if a little bit scary sometimes!" Marie Willis, www.lequin.co.uk
"Being coached and trained as a Co-Active Coach has given me the courage to make a big change in my life. It helped me to give up my office in London, which I had rented for over 10 years and had been my base as a self-employed recruitment consultant for the advertising industry. I had been prevaricating for some time...The result is that I have a lovely office at home...I'm much less stressed, work more flexible hours and am re-invigorated about my recruitment career. Sue Buckle , www.suebuckle.co.uk
"Co-active coaching training has put a new spin into my life! I am compassionate and powerful as a coach and I have started a business that reflects what I want and who I am in my whole life. The training I have had has reframed for me how I see people and how I hold them, which has opened doors that I did not even knew off before." Tina de Meeűs, www.starfish-coaching.com
"Co-Active coaching has completely transformed the direction of my life. Two years on from first coming across coaching, I have completed all the CTI courses through to In the Bones, left my long-held job in marketing at L’Oreal to set up my own coaching business, started the Co-Active Leadership programme, and completely revolutionised my daily life. In fact as I write these words, even I think “Wow!”
What I love about the Co-Active approach is how rounded it is – it has really urged me to take a long, hard look at ALL aspects of life (both my own and my clients’). I also love the community of Co-Active Coaches that I am now part of – there is something about getting right to the heart of people which is very special and has directly led to the forging of deep support networks and friendships. It has meant that, as a self-employed coach working from home, I am not isolated." Rebecca Hourston, www.move-mountains.co.uk
"Having been involved in education, training and development in different ways (teaching, youth work, industry, further education) all my life, the impact of the CTI training on me was powerful and instant. The relationship between the leaders was inspirational and gave deep learning. Before attending my Fundamentals Course I had left many training sessions due to the incompetence of the presenters/ leaders. In CTI Training I met leaders with deep personal experience and understanding of the curriculum, the learning and the materials married with the capacity to share, nurture, challenge and deliver these to the participants.
This enabled me truly to make the learning and transformation my own." Penni Blythe-Jones CPCC, Centre for Creative Change Co Ltd
