Posted on Daniela Loffreda11 December 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I completed the Women’s Development Programme with Barefoot Coaching towards the end of 2024. It’s been an incredibly rewarding and insightful experience. Our course leader Julia was amazing, helping to create a safe and open environment for all those taking part. I wanted to do this programme with Barefoot to work particularly on managing feelings of imposter syndrome, and to also to build my confidence in both a professional and personal context. This course has provided me with the coaching tools and techniques required to overcome these boundaries and I’m excited to continue to implement these skills moving forward. I’d highly recommend this course to women of all ages looking to advance in all areas of life.Posted on Polly Donaldson11 December 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently completed the Women’s Development Programme and feel like I’m walking away with a clearer understanding of the importance of personal and professional boundaries and feel armed with strategies to push against self-doubt. I’d recommend this course to women struggling to manage challenging relationships and those wishing to break free from habits such as people-pleasing. I’m really looking forward to implementing my learnings and continuing to develop my approach to coaching communication. Thank you to the Barefoot Coaching team for this insightful experience!Posted on Alison B15 April 2021Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have just found my ‘Barefoot Coaching’ coaching cards from 2012, they are so valuable even after 9 years!Posted on Duncan S23 January 2018Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An amazing 12 days with the Barefoot Team working on Personal and Business Coaching. The tutors are incredibly knowledgeable, the theory wide-ranging and the practical sessions varied and valuable. I'd recommend this course and the Barefoot Team to anyone.Posted on Sandra Whiles5 April 2017Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I chose Barefoot to consolidate my training as a coach in 2016. Everyone I spoke to beforehand about coach training providers said that Barefoot was the only choice - and they were so right Great tutors and course materials. Brilliant challenge and support. Excellent venues. You are made to feel part of Barefoot from day one . Lots of folk have said it, but life changing is the only way I can describe my experiences with Barefoot.Posted on Andy Follows13 March 2017Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently completed the taught modules of the Postgraduate Certificate in Business and Personal Coaching with Barefoot. I wanted to be exposed to a broad range of coaching ideas, to have plenty of time to practice coaching and receive feedback and to meet like minded people who shared my passion. I was not disappointed. I loved every minute of the modules and was sad when the programme finally came to an end. Our cohort has been amazing and we continue to engage with each other via webinars and get togethers organised by ourselves. At no point in the process did I have any feeling that Barefoot was interested in selling places on this or other programmes. It was all about getting a good fit between you as a coach and their offerings. Great people. Very professionally run. Great materials. A good range of tutors from different backgrounds. All delivered with wonderful warmth and passion. Can't recommend highly enough.Posted on Emma Kearin10 March 2017Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an amazing program, it has changed my life, I didn't know what I was going to use the training for or how it would change things for me or the people around me. It has proved the best decision yet 😁Posted on Teresa Roberts27 February 2017Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I trained with Barefoot Coaching and can highly recommend the course. The breadth of learning and approaches, together with the great tutors and a very supportive cohort of students allowed me to challenge my existing thinking and develop as a coach in a way that was authentic to me. Completing the essays for Chester University also offered the opportunity to underpin the experiential learning with some academic rigor. The Barefoot team are all warm, friendly people and a pleasure to be around.Posted on Charlotte Norris11 February 2017Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did the PGCert course finishing in summer 2016. I had recently completed a degree in Psychology and wanted a course with academic grounding and accreditation. Barefoot surpassed all expectations - the teaching; the broad range of theories and tools ; the self development; the variety and enthusiasm of the intake; the excellent tutors and speakers. What I didn't anticipate was the support afterwards if you want it. For those that go into external coaching, it can be a lonely path. Barefoot offers routes to support that, be it coaching, supervision; CPD; alumni groups; conferences. I have just completed the Team Coaching course which was equally good. I believe the success of Barefoot lies in the passion of its originator, Kim Morgan, who is very evidently at the core of the business. All in all it was a wonderfully rewarding experience.Posted on S Goldsworthy9 February 2017Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I trained with Barefoot Coaching back in 2014, on the back of a number of recommendations from colleagues. The course is a great mix of theory and hands-on work, led by a series of inspirational tutors, and there is a lively support system after completion, with supervision and conferences offered by Barefoot and a good alumni network. A brilliant course, highly recommended for anyone looking into a coaching qualification.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
