One To One Coaching
Our Usual Process
Change Is Difficult
However, change is possible as long as you have an open mind and a willingness to accept new ideas.
Sometimes it is hard to find people in our lives that can honestly hold us accountable, whilst cheering us on and motivating us throughout the whole process to get you ahead of the pack.
I would be privileged to help you on your journey.
Together, we will look at the following:
Group Coaching
Similarly to one-to-one, group coaching works issue being faced by a collective.
Group coaching clients benefit from peer learning with others, commonly referred to as the collective wisdom of the group.
In group sessions, I facilitate a safe environment where an individual issue can be safely discussed while incorporating every individual’s viewpoint.
This “peer learning” experience is often as important as the interaction with the coach.
Whatever the issue is within your team we can improve it together.
Workshops
Workshops are a pre-designed learning opportunity and as such are more traditional in nature and cover such diverse topics as:
Leadership
Change
Difficult Conversations
Managing Conflict
Presentation Skills
My workshops are fully interactive and get participants totally involved in the learning process: small and large group discussions, activities & exercises, opportunities to practise applying the concepts that are presented.
Similarly to group coaching participant benefit form a “peer learning” experience.
Workshops can be bespoke to your organisation or more general and will be advertised on LinkedIn and Facebook.
What Is Coaching?
What are your hopes and dreams? What is important to you? Do you have everything you feel that you deserve? What is possible for you?
Just imagine if there was a way of exploring all of these questions with someone to help you realise your dreams and become the person you want to be, both at home and work.
Well, that’s coaching.
Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio and Serena Williams are just a few of the celebrities who claim coaching has changed their lives. But it’s not just the famous that can benefit. Anyone can take advantage of coaching to help you achieve your goals.
Don’t struggle on your own when you can get what you want out of life in a fraction of the time with the support and tools of a skilled coach.

We all need a Craig in our life…..especially at times like this to give us direction, to remind us of what is important or just to cheer us up.
JC (St. Helens)
Craig automatically makes you feel at ease and is very easy to chat to, he’s understanding and caters the sessions around you. I’d very much recommend.
IF – (Manchester)
“Craig is an excellent coach and facilitator, he has an innate ability to get the best out of people.
His approach is clear, concise and very effective with a track record of outstanding results.
It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Craig and I hope it continues into the future. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him to anyone who wants a first class coach and trainer.”

I had an interview on Saturday and got the job, thank you for all your help, I couldn’t have done it without you. xx
KL (Kirkby)
After serving a prison sentence I lacked confidence and I didn’t know what I was going to do or what the future held for me. Craig put me at my ease as I’m not used to sharing my feelings and we then set out some goals. He helped me focus on what I can do rather than what I have done. I’m about to start a counselling and mentoring course and I owe Craig a huge debt of gratitude.
