COACHING

At Confidence Rising, coaching isn’t one-size-fits-all. We’re a diverse collective of accredited coaches with cross-sector experience, offering support in the way that works best for you and your business - 1:1, team, group, executive, career and beyond.

We bring a grounded, evidence-based approach, integrating assessment tools, 360 feedback and practical techniques that help you understand yourself, stretch your thinking and bring about change. We coach online, in-person or hybrid.

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Reach out and tell us what you’re aiming for - clarity, confidence, leadership transition, career direction or something else entirely.

  2. We’ll match you with a curated selection of coaches whose style and expertise align with your goals.

  3. You’ll meet them, get a feel for the chemistry, explore how you work together and choose the coach who feels right for you.

  4. From there, we shape a coaching partnership built around your needs and your pace.

FEEL THE LOVE

  • Working with Adam has been a truly life changing experience. He has given me the space and tools that are allowing me to grow into a person I am much prouder to be.

    Jess, Boots

  • From the bottom of my heart and soul, you have truly blessed me with the tools I needed to move forward and that is priceless. Thank you isn’t a sizeable word. It doesn’t convey the gratitude I have.

    Kelly, Judiciary

  • I was experiencing a great deal of anxiety at work and Adam brought so much insight, perspective and many tools to my toolkit. I wouldn't have this much courage to push forward with my career goals without his support.
