Developing a Coaching Culture

Supporting and challenging is a crucial part of development and realising potential.

Take time to discover how coaching can develop a supportive working environment leading to greater innovation and impact. You’ll connect with others working for social change and share valuable experiences.

This programme is designed for organisations looking for cultural change and therefore we encourage as many staff as possible, wherever they are located in an organisation’s structure, to be included in the process.

Cost: £600 for third sector organisations, £950 for public/private sectors

Developing Sustainability

Sustainability is a key concern for third sector organisations and social enterprises. Numerous challenges face the sector, both within their own structure and how they interact in the wider environment Sustainability is also about how to expand, scale and develop what organisations are doing

This programmes explores these themes, looking at what is already working, how to sustain this and identifying what needs to change and how to make this happen.

Rethinking Income Streams

Business plans are being redesigned to reflect both the current reality and what might be the ‘new normal’ beyond the present time.

‘Business as usual’ is unlikely to be a viable option. All organisations must review approaches to sales and income generation, whilst being aware that how we operate in the current time will be remembered.
