'This has been one of the most exemplary programmes I have been on.'
What is involved in our coaching and training programmes for disabled people?
We offer flexible options working face to face (when permitted) or online including:
- group workshops
- individual coaching (which can boost the impact of the group work)
- small-group coaching
- action learning sessions (ALS) to intensively focus on one topic or question
- any combination of these elements to meet your requirements
We can work with groups of disabled people, managers or colleagues of disabled people or a combination of these.
What are the benefits?
Though there is no ‘typical’ content, our programmes will often help to boost skills in the following areas:
- self-confidence and self-belief
- identity as a disabled person
- personal styles and adapting to others
- personal strengths (including those developed as a disabled individual)
- assertive communication and getting our messages across
- asking for help
- making best use of our contacts

'I have realised that it is ok to be open about my disability. It makes me think ‘Why did I have secrets’?'
