Barefoot Coaching Ltd Arvostelua 146

We use Barefoot's picture cards as a warm-up for groupwork. I do a lot of work with people dealing with loss and change. The cards help us to meet people where they are, with a gentle start to the conversation, or enabling people to express some difficult feelings and emotions. Love them!

Despite having 20 plus years of coaching experience and being a Fellow of the C.I.P.D I felt the need to undertake rigorous professional training before embarking on setting up a business coaching . Much research and recommendation led me to Barefoot . The calibre of the training and support team is certainly gold standards and I am very proud to have taken this journey with them and other committed professional colleagues on my cohort .

I trained with Barefoot in 2018 because of the balance between experiential and academic content that I considered the most credible offering in the market for me. What I got was so much more. Barefoot are an incredible community of coaches that offer support throughout your training and career after. It's a community I'm proud to be part of.

Barefoot is a great place to receive your coach training. The intensity, breadth, and depth of the training is just right.

At the end you'll have experienced a real eclectic mix of approaches through which you'll be able to develop your unique approach.

I did the taught components April through August 2023 and passed the exam Nov 2023.

Additionally, I have made some enduring connections from the alumni experience.

Barefoot’s coach training programme is truly a transformative experience - I not only learned about coaching, but also learned much more about myself and met incredibly supported and talented people (tutors and cohort). I’d recommend the programme to anyone who’s committed to learning and development (or even being a better parent!)

If you’re looking to train as a coach, look no further. The training that Barefoot offers is the best in the industry, and life changing for many (in a good way!). The sessions are the perfect balance of theory and practice, the tutors are exceptionally skilled in their respective areas, and you’ll come away feeling empowered and ready to start your practice as a coach

I did my training from January to June 2020, and it has been truly life changing in the best way! Incredible learning and excellent trainers (shout out to Linda and Sorrel, but also Ted, Andy, Pete, Kim and Jo!) I've since completed my Postgraduate certificate in Personal and Business Coaching, become ACC credentialed and am looking to renew. Barefoot's training is well worth the investment many times over not only for the spread and depth of theory and schools of thought but also for the people I've met - I am still in contact with my cohort four years on! If you're looking for coach training, I would highly recommend Barefoot.

Amazing amazing amazing! I completed my PG Cert in Business and life coaching and it changed my life! The course is both practical and theoretical without having to sit through endless slides. Reading is provided for before and after sessions and backs up Barefoot’s philosophy of “beware the man of one book” as it references many approaches. Lots of space for discussion and everything I learned is applicable in both the business world and life/personal coaching- many other courses don’t give you both. I loved it and would recommend again and again.

The quality and diversity of coaching trainers, coaching methodologies and approaches taught on this training was matched by the quality of the learning space created by the course and Barefoot culture and collaborative opportunities with other trainee coaches.

I really enjoyed the experience, it surpassed my learning expectations, and it has set me up as I continue my journey into coaching and self discovery.

I'd thoroughly recommend.

From my first contact with the Barefoot support staff it was clear that this is a business that puts its clients at the heart on its business - a great mantra for aspiring coaches. I have 30 years experience in HR & Development and thought I knew a lot about coaching. How wrong could I be the Barefoot facilitators were excellent and as other have said the course was transformational. I did the shorter Foundation programme first and I would recommend this before making the larger investment in the full programme which I loved.

The Barefoot Coaching Skills Foundation Programme was a fantastic experience full of activities that allowed us to put in to practice our learning

One of the best life choices I've made was training with Barefoot Coaching over a decade ago. I am still reaping the rewards from it, having completed the course, received my PG Certificate, and finished my Masters in Personal & Business Coaching.

I had the pleasure and good fortune of being trained by Kim and top-rate guest speakers, including Nancy Kline, Jamie Smart, Michael Neill, Prof Damian Hughes, and of course, Cara De Faye.

As corny as it may sound, Barefoot Coaching changed my life. Before the course, I felt like my life was going nowhere fast, and I felt very limited and stuck in a rut. I knew I had more to offer but didn't know what that was.

I discovered Barefoot Coaching purely by accident, and now I feel like my life has a purpose. I am doing what I know I was born to do, which is to help people. I have had the pleasure of working with hundreds of coachees and witnessed some fantastic transformations.

I cannot say enough about Barefoot Coaching, and my biggest thanks go to Kim Morgan for developing and facilitating such an amazing course.

I’m so happy I trained with Barefoot, at the risk of sounding clichéd this course changed my life. I have used the skills I learned on the course for the last 21 years, most recently in my work supporting survivors of domestic abuse. I recently reconnected with Kim & her team & was very much welcomed back. I would strongly recommend this course to anyone interested in coaching. I’m pretty sure you won’t regret choosing Barefoot.

This was one of the most transformational learning events I have ever attended. The tutors were brilliant. They are experienced, practicing coaches who are also very skilled facilitators. I learnt a huge amount over the four months and enjoyed working with a wonderful group of participants who also brought their own rich experience with them. Barefoot were consistently professional and learner centred throughout.

Barefoot were recommended to me by several people I trusted and not only their programme, but their whole way of doing business, went beyond what I expected and hoped for. Their programmes are fantastic, they live and breathe what they 'teach', they are pushing the boundaries in the industry and are fantastic role models for any aspiring or active coach. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

I chose Barefoot Coaching Ltd after reviewing what came back on an internet search. Many of the results seemed to offer a certificate of competence in return for a cash payment. Barefoot charge for their course, and do issue certificates, but before you are confirmed as a competent, but novice coach, you have to successfully complete a rigorous, but enjoyable and life-changing course. If you want to learn about becoming a coach, rather than just being 'a coach', choose Barefoot.

I completed the ICF Accredited PG Cert in Business and Personal Coaching. I completed the course virtually. I experienced it as very experiential, thoroughly practical, and well-supported by knowledgeable tutors and well-written materials. The option to complete the PG Cert and from there a Masters is an excellent addition to the course.

When you want to train to be a coach with industry-leading transformative skills, go with Barefoot Coaching. Top quality tutors schooled in latest psych theories and with coal-face experience. Excellent alumni and network as well. Barefoot-trained coaches rank high above the rest for expertise. Forever grateful I trained with them.

I wanted to advocate that Barefoot Coaching Ltd offers novice and expert coach's something to suit their needs.

I attended the Coach Flagship Programme in 2021. I have worked in corporates for 25+ in the Learning, Development and Coaching space. Let me tell you that I didn’t really know, appreciate or practice what ‘true’ coaching was until my programme.

Some highlights of the course:
- Friendly supportive Tutors and Associates who partner with you on moving forward.
- All Tutors and Associates have completed the course and Post Graduate degree & are meeting the PCC level of coaching hours required by the International Coaching Federation (so you’ll collaborate with people who truly know the concept, content and best way to coach inside out)
- a group of delegates just like you with varying experience so you can learn and practice together.
- I learned practical experience on delivery, concepts, tools and relationship building with clients.
- the theory and practice on this course is second to none.

Since attending the flagship course I’ve had a promotion. I’ve gained a lot of experience in coaching and coaching theory. I’ve really aligned my values and wants for my future - and I genuinely put it down to the course, my enhanced network and self belief.

If you are looking for a company to train you to become a coach or to help you understand what coaching is and can be for your business look no further than Barefoot Coaching Ltd!!!

I have done many programmes around personal development and I have to say that I am very impressed by the Barefoot programme. It is very robust, with very informative materials that support ongoing coaching learning outside the classroom. It is structured very well and easy to follow. The sessions themselves are taught by different leaders in their fields and we always get to learn by doing which is critical when you go out into the real world. It is very clear that the team has a lot of experience and wisdom to share. You learn how to be a better coach and also learn about yourself in the process. I highly recommend working with them.
