Our Coaching Team
Our coaches are empathetic, experienced and they get results. Our coaching service began after the success of our training arm of the business. It became clear that our clients, their workforces and individuals appreciated our ethos of wellbeing and our personal touch to training. We now deliver coaching to individuals and groups for goal setting, motivation, business, careers etc to achieve success in many areas of their personal and professional lives.
We have rich experience with our own personal companies and collectively as Digital Bricks. We offer business coaching to individuals and groups at any stage of business development. We have a wide network of business expertise in our respective fields. Our coaching and business development sessions help to spark creativity and nurture growth for those starting out alone to those already working with teams.
We also practise coaching psychology in many areas of life and work. This new division of the British Psychological Society is the study of behaviour to deepen understanding of individual and group performance, achievement and wellbeing. This scientific approach to coaching is evidence based and fast becoming standard practice for personal and professional development in many organisations.
