Feedback from Hertfordshire County Council following a recent individual training day “Coaching as a tool to enable service users”
‘Gave everyone on the course food for thought as evidenced by the feedback sheets
“really insightful into the therapeutic use of self and our own values and beliefs”
“would consider further learning”
“we need more courses like this that are OT specific and challenge our thinking”.
Jen’s remit was to provide an introduction to coaching and its potential use as a tool to enable clients. It could easily have been a two day course but still provided participants with ideas and practical tools. Thank you.’
