Coach – Opportunities to walk together

Coaching is about helping leaders thrive, to discern the times, to navigate change, and embrace new possibilities. Coaching can be designed for individual leaders and form part of their professional development plan, or take the form of a planned monthly conversation. Group coaching is also available for leadership teams. Coaching is normally over a 12-24 month period.
