Using our leading edge strategy, negotiation, mediation and coaching techniques embodied in the Core Method for coaching and collaboration, Core Coaching provides high quality professional training and coaching for those engaged in mediation, negotiation, processes for the management of differences, advocacy and other situations in which effective communication and presentation is the key.

We promote the importance of effective questioning and listening techniques, together with organised approaches to preparation and problem-solving.

Core Coaching emphasises learning by doing in small groups and one-to-one coaching, often using video, supported by a trained coach or facilitator. We show you:

• What works or what doesn't work
• Why it works or doesn't work
• How to do it better next time

Our intensive workshops and courses focus on mediation, negotiation, questioning skills, effective communication and courtroom advocacy, together with leadership and management. We hold courses in house for law firms and other institutions as well as courses which are open to subscribers.

We run special courses for a range of professionals. These have included health professionals, surveyors, investment specialists, judges, parliamentarians, civil servants and human resource professionals. We provide training to a wide range of other specialist groups.

We act as facilitators in management brainstorming sessions and have led instructor training courses for lawyers and others in Scotland, England, Ireland and South Africa as well as for University tutors.

What YOU said about courses run by Core Coaching:

“As good as they come, seriously. A great many lawyers and non-lawyers would benefit from what you teach”.
(negotiation techniques)

“It was wonderful. My thanks to you and the Core team for a very stimulating
two days. I felt exhausted both evenings, from digesting the material and
from using intellectual and emotional muscles which are underused.”
(mediation training)

“I thought the course was superb - one of the most fulfilling (albeit difficult) experiences I have ever had….it has made me think very differently about what I have been doing for the last 20 years … and may even have changed my outlook on life to a significant degree!”
(mediation training)

“This course was much more challenging than most”
(questioning techniques for fund managers)

“It was quite unlike any other course in which I have participated. I found the whole approach most refreshing and thought provoking. As I have said in my questionnaire, it is the most enjoyable course which I have ever attended” (communication skills for senior professionals)

“The course has given a tremendous boost to my overall confidence……best course in my career”
