BECOME A TRANSFORMATIONAL COACH THROUGH THE PURE POWER,
WONDER AND AUTHENTICITY OF WHO YOU TRULY ARE
TRAIN TO BE A TRANSFORMATIONAL COACH
"It is what we think we know that often prevents us from learning," ~ Claude Bernard
Whatever new skill, process or behaviour you learn, whatever new knowledge you acquire, the level of success you have in applying it will depend on the foundation on which you are building.
In professional training, personal development of the individual is often overlooked and this invariably leads to poor practice. Coaches in particular need to address and work through their own issues in order to operate with the emotional intelligence required to be effective in coaching others. Our training will challenge and support you to do this.
The True Northe Transformational Coaching Programme (Graduate Level) is a programme of skills training and personal development which has historically been accredited by the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) and is currently accredited by The Association for Coaching (AC), enabling students to become AC Accredited Coaches with the necessary experience, CPD and Supervision.
Sarah Ilaria Northe’s training has been run successfully for 20 years within both the public and private sector.
This accredited coaching programme can be accessed by individuals and also be run within your organisation and tailored to your individual needs.

INTRODUCTION
We appreciate that there are many offerings of coach training in the current market place and no industry-wide validating body to set standards and guarantee consistency of product and quality.
The information below is designed to help you decide if our programme is the right one for you and we would be very happy to discuss this further.
Please be aware that in the design and delivery of our coaching programmes we strive to ensure best practice whilst offering a flexible approach to the needs of programme participants.
We are guided by the ethical code provided by the European Coaching and Mentoring Council and promote the importance of continuing professional development and supervised practice.
Within this training programme you will find:
- An in-depth psychological approach to coaching
- A range of theories and processes
- Regular coach practice sessions with feedback from course tutors and fellow participants
- Over 60 hours of facilitated experiential learning
- Self-managed learning sets
- Requirement to build up a minimum of 12 sessions of coaching practice in between workshops
- Supervision of practice
- 1:1 support from course tutors
- Professionally accredited qualification
- A coaching approach based on the development of emotional intelligence
- Strong focus on the personal development of the coach
OUR APPROACH
We will give you the theory of coach training; however, this alone will not make you an effective coach. Coaching, after all, is a practical activity and any coach training of value must be grounded in sound professional practice. Much of our focus will be on your development as a coach through experiential learning, practice and feedback. During each module you will be given the opportunity to experience the roles of coach, coachee and observer. These sessions will facilitate both your skills development and personal growth.
The personal development of the coach is an element of training often overlooked and this can result in poor practice. We believe that the coach needs to address and work through their own issues in order to operate with the emotional intelligence required to be effective in coaching others. On our coaching programmes you will be challenged to address your own developmental needs in a safe and supportive environment. In line with this we are firm advocates of coaching supervision as essential to good professional practice and offer this during the programme.
We believe in a psychological approach to coaching because invariably coaching issues are grounded in the cognitive and emotional. It is common for the presenting issue to be a symptom of the client’s existing patterns and belief systems. Without addressing the psychological dimension it is likely that the client will find that they are unable to sustain behavioural change. As part of our training we give participants the tools to explore the client’s inner world and therefore facilitate greater understanding and lasting change.
Alongside tutoring on our programmes the training team continues to work directly with clients, always developing our own knowledge and skills and drawing on our own experience to enhance our teaching
WHO IS THIS PROGRAMME FOR
Essentially this programme will meet the needs of anyone wishing to effectively facilitate the growth and behaviour change of others.
This may be through working as a coach, a line manager, an HR professional or training consultant, a mental health practitioner, an educator or any other context where you are interested in developing others.
If you want a thorough grounding in coaching methodology, to develop your coaching skills and grow on a personal level then this programme is right for you. We will always meet with you prior to the programme to ensure that you have made the right choice.

TESTIMONIALS
Training to be a coach with Sarah has been transformative for me. I have felt challenged in a way that has allowed me to take ownership of who I am and work through what it means to be truly authentic. ~ Harry May-Bedell
Sarah's course was a life-advancing experience and one which I will never forget. As well as learning to become a workplace coach via Sarah’s engaging and experiential programme and gaining a formal coaching qualification, the way in which the programme was structured and taught by Sarah meant that I also learned an immeasurable amount about myself as a manager, colleague and person. ~ Vicky Hayhurst - Director
I HIGHLY recommend Sarah as both a coach and facilitator. I became an accredited coach on one of Sarah’s programmes and can honestly say it was the most thought-provoking, valuable and worthwhile courses I have ever engaged with. Not only did it hone my listening, questioning, awareness and general interpersonal skills but it supported me in challenging the beliefs I had previously held about myself. I don’t think there is a day that goes by when I don’t use those skills. Sarah’s particular style – of empathic challenge and working with the emotions she finds in the room - encourages active engagement from all and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her. ~ Sarah Farrell
Working with Sarah is always a game changer. As a direct result of her training I have built a successful business doing what I love. It has been genuinely transformational. ~ Janet Finlay - Canine Confidence Academy
