Great experience with like minded people. Participants at various stages of the course which proved to be invaluable. Sharing knowledge and experiences. The facilitator was knowledgable, kind and understanding. I enjoyed every minute, despite the heatwave, plenty of breaks throughout the day. I learned a lot.

Really enjoyed Sarah Bramall delivery on this module.
I felt this was my favourite so far and I took so much positive energy from this day.
Thank you so much for making it a great experience Sarah!
The coaching academy often say, ‘trust the process’ and at the start of training it can be difficult to hold onto that. Even now and I’m 1/2 way through. However on days like this one they are a great reminder of how very true that sentence is.
So I’m personally going to use that as my anchor, ‘trust the process!’

We wish you every success as you continue through the programme, and look forward to welcoming you again soon! Best wishes, TCA Team
A well balanced, energising session with the Coaching Academy!
the GR Live training session was fabulous. Sarah is a brilliant facilitator and the session struck the perfect balance between learning, interactivity, networking and coaching practice with other students. 3x 2hr sessions in one day should have been exhausting but instead were energising and really helped to build my confidence in my learning journey. Thank you!

The people are the best part of this Academy!
The best part of this Academy are the people working in it and for it, in particular its amazing trainers and teachers like Rachael Bushby, Sarah Bramall, Rachel Russell, and Pam Lidford, without mentioning their team of mentors like Antonio Esposito.
And then Mariya from the support team who spent endless hours with me over the phone to go through the program, the rules, how to make it work for me and my ADHD, and how to optimise the resources available.
I learnt so much from the personality and the direct lived coaching experience of all these talented individuals and I would recommend the Academy and the Life Coaching diploma to everyone who is in their early phase and wants to build some structure for their future clients, feeling guided with a specific framework, and having an officially recognised diploma that they can leverage also in the Corporate environment. Thanks to the entire team for making my career dream possible!!!

A highly valuable and thought-provoking session.
There were several practical takeaways, particularly around supporting different thinking styles (e.g. encouraging doodling or fidgeting during meetings) and using reframing techniques to view situations from new perspectives.
The NLP Triangle model and the focus on values and beliefs were especially impactful and easily transferable across different contexts.
Overall, an insightful session that has positively influenced how I approach both personal and professional interactions.

Expansive DISC Behaviour integration
Advanced DISC Practitioner was a fabulous CPD event.
Sharon was full of enthusiasm and provided complimentary tools that can be used beyond the DISC profile to continue to raise awareness on behaviour.
I had many aha moments and have already used the tools which has enhanced the coaching conversations with many lightbulb moments for me & my clients.
If you're already using DISC and want to expand your thinking to support your employees/clients, teams and organisations then this is the programme you need

Excellent content and delivery.
The DISC Advanced Practitioner Workshop was expertly delivered by DISC Master Trainer Sharon Lawton.
It was a superb training with many insights which helped me to understand how DISC integrates with leading frameworks such as Lencioni’s Five Dysfunctions of a Team and David Rock’s SCARF model, adding to my toolkit for working with individuals, leaders, and teams.
This workshop was also a masterclass in creating a safe, inclusive and supportive environment which made it perfect for learning online.

I'm fully satisfied by the GR workshop
I'm fully satisfied by the GR workshop, as myself I was struggling with these two parts. At the end of the workshop I found myself skilled with whatever I need to have a great coaching session. Knowing also that I would have an insightful support once I need it from TCA makes me gratefull and empowered.
