The Coaching Foundation

The Coaching Foundation Ltd (President, Sir John Whitmore; founders: Steve Breibart and Dr Angus McLeod) runs not-for-profit practice sessions on weekday evenings and full days of trainings and conferences each year. There are a number of groups and more are planned. These events extend the thinking and skills of coaches. Events have included:

  • ‘The Power of Silence’ (Angus McLeod & Steve Breibart    ; experiencing silence as a tool for change),
  • Myers Briggs (Steve Breibart    , Director of CF),
  • Metaphor (Penny Tompkins & James Lawley)
  • The heart of the coach (Angus McLeod)
  • GROW (Myles Downey)
  • Psychotherapeutic methods including Provocative Therapy and Gestalt as well as skills taken from the performing arts.

One-day courses have been run by Sir John Whitmore, the Opera Director – John Abulafia, Michelle Duval and Shelle Rose Charvet (author of the international best-seller, Words That Change Minds). Notices are given by e-mail; you can subscribe now, free.  You can also download information and published articles.

The Coaching Foundation is a stimulating learning-place for coaches, mentors and trainees. Running on a not-for-profit basis, we have about a dozen evening programs running in one location in the SE and West Midlands each year and at least two whole-day events. Plans are underway to develop further groups. The web site can be viewed.

Since we aim to stretch the boundaries of experience and learning, events have included a broad range of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic-Programming) tools, Transactional Analysis, Performance Coaching, Clean Language (Dr David Grove), Metaphor & Symbolic Modelling (James Lawley & Penny Tompkins), Alpha Leadership (Julian Russell, Robert Dilts and Anne Deering) and Provocative Therapy (Frank Farrelly.

We have a code of ethics for Coaches evolved from various inputs to Steve Breibart for which we are grateful. We aim to recommend in-company and open programs for coaches and hope to set or inspire European Standards for Coaching.
