Coaching and Development

You provide the challenge, we provide the support.

To take time to think is to gain time to live.

Nancy Kline

We provide unique coaching, development and mentoring workshops and programmes

In this fast-paced and extremely driven world we live in, it can sometimes be more productive to stop and take stock before deciding our next step. Taking time out to reflect and clarify the best way forward can support us to grow and develop our full potential.

Our coaching and development programmes facilitate both individuals and teams to stop and take stock to develop and grow their thinking, skills, knowledge and approach. We take the time to understand the what, why and how then introduce the best models, research and tools to help them develop. We offer a practical experience to allow the individual or group to apply these new techniques and practise them in a safe environment.

Practice Leader

Sara Penter

Head of Coaching

“Throughout my career I have personally benefited from stepping outside my comfort zone with the support of great coaches, teachers and trainers. I believe that the depth, speed and impact of my learning has been greatly enhanced by working with others to guide the way”.

How we have helped people with Coaching & Development

“I enjoyed the whole coaching journey. From the initial meeting where I was asked to articulate where I thought I was in terms of my current working environment and the challenges I was facing – with too many plates spinning, right through to my current role and work life balance. The opportunity to share my experiences in an open and safe environment without judgement was hugely beneficial.”

Senior Leader – Finance Sector

“My CDS coach has helped me understand many issues that were affecting my work and personal life to the point now where I am much happier and delivering results I didn’t think were possible. She is practical and resourceful as well as caring and inspiring and I would, without hesitation, recommend her to help anyone who was looking for coach.”

Senior Programme Manager – Energy Sector

“My CDS coach provided me with the opportunity to bounce ideas around, acting as an off-the-wall sparring partner to generate ideas which led to “eureka moments” post the session. I valued the confidential, independent, non-judgemental nature of the conversations.”
