Bourne to Achieve Professional Development Consultancy offers a portfolio of services of Executive 1:1 and Group Coaching, Individual Coaching, and Leadership programmes.

Our clients are leaders and individuals who are keen to evolve their professional and personal effectiveness, retain their authenticity to confidently act with kindness and integrity.

Bourne to Achieve offers our clients a confidential, reflective space away from the busy-ness of their lives. We enable them to gain deeper insight of the situation, explore options and make conscious choices about how they move forward.

Together we build confidence to experiment with new ways of thinking and behaving, aligned to their personal values.

We believe that leaders come in many forms – not just those with ‘leader’ in their job title, and not just adults. True leadership comes from self-acceptance, acting with emotional intelligence and with responsibility to others.

We are passionate about empowering educators, families and children. Therefore many of our existing clients are leaders in educational settings and parents whose work life is impacting on their personal well-being and family life, and vice versa. We also believe in further extending the benefits of coaching to businesses and the public sector to create cultures of genuine inclusion, diversity and equity.

Arrange a chat to see if we are the right people to work with you. If we aren’t, then we will do our best to point you in a different direction.

How does coaching work?

Coaching starts with the premise that you know your situation better than anyone else and therefore you are the best person to generate the ideas to resolve it. 

The role of the coach is to create a trusted, confidential, empowering relationship where we explore the situation to enable you to gain that deeper insight into what is really going on so you can make well-informed, authentic decisions and take actions at the right time.

Types of coaching

You may have seen different terminology linked to coaching: life, business, achievement, executive, leadership, performance, 1:1, group / team coaching and wonder what the difference is.

The term ‘Coaching’ refers to the way of working with people described above and the label e.g. executive, leadership, business etc gives an indication of its main focus.

At Bourne to Achieve we use Executive Coaching to describe the work with do with leaders and aspiring leaders in schools, businesses and organisations.

We use Individual Coaching to describe the work we are doing with people who are funding the coaching themselves.

That said, aspects of our lives are intertwined however much we try to compartmentalise them. Issues at work will be having an impact on your personal life and well-being. Likewise, challenges at home may well be reflected in your performance and behaviour at work.

At Bourne to Achieve, we invite our coachees to bring their whole selves to the sessions to ensure that the changes will support the multifaceted lives we lead.
