Coaching Retreats

One to one coaching that enables you to take action on your work and life issues whilst staying in the heart of the beautiful North Norfolk countryside. Alison is a qualified coach and mentor and offers coaching for a range of needs:
Need to find a better work/life balance?
Want to find a new job?
Need help in progressing in your career?
Facing redundancy?
Starting a business?
Want to improve your leadership and management skills?
Want to explore new possibilities?
 
A coaching retreat at the award winning Old Bakery Norfolk gives you time to talk, to think, to plan and to work out the steps you need to take for your better future

Alison has deliberately priced the Coaching Retreats to make them affordable for a much wider range of people than may have previously considered coaching. She is also keen to spend time coaching people individually or as a couple with the same goals, rather than offer group coaching with minimal one to one coaching as she believes this is more effective for the person being coached. Her aim is that people will consider the weekend a worth-while investment in their future.

Alison says that she can’t guarantee that you will find the new job or the new life you are searching for but she does know that identifying what steps you need to take, creating an action plan and having follow-up coaching sessions means it is much more likely to happen.

She also understands that a successful coaching relationship is built upon the trust and rapport between the coach and coachee. Alison will have a free initial discussion on the phone lasting around 30 minutes.
