COACHES' COURSE

This is a one-day course introducing the concepts behind solution focused coaching with practice exercises and materials you will be able to take away and immediately use in your work as a coach.

"In particular, I would like to recommend Greg for his ability to deliver great training in his expert subject of Solution Focused Techniques. 

Greg ran a course for all of the BizFizz Enterprise Coaches working for Bradford Kickstart. These coaches are full-time business support professionals, and there was a lot of coaching and client experience in the group. Greg's approach was exceptional and he delivered a day's training that was well received and beneficial to all. 

I would heartily recommend Greg both as a coach to me, and as a trainer to my colleagues and me. If you have the chance to engage him on a project or to help as a coach for you or your organisation, he is a great person to approach."

MANAGERS' COURSE

This is a one-day course introducing the concepts behind solution focused management with practice exercises and materials you will be able to take away and immediately use in your work as a manager.

"When I return from any training I always ask myself  ‘how useful was it in practical terms to my day to day practice. Unequivocally I can pay tribute to the Solution Focused training that Greg delivered. It was relevant, practical, hands on and fun. Myself and immediate colleagues were able come away and discuss how we would use our learning in practice and we were immediately able to identify several key areas. We brought the learning to our wider management team to examine how we structured and ran our monthly meetings. We also looked at how we could bring the learning into our supervision with staff to provide them with more ownership of case work and personal development issues. On a day to day basis in other meetings I have felt “freed up” from the problem focused situation and been able to deliver  far more optimistic chairing and leadership. 

The bottom line is that the SF method is not complicated or bound up with jargon. Its usable and adaptable and relevant to both work and home life.."
