Professional Coaching
You can get the best efforts from others, not by lighting a fire beneath them but by building a fire within them
- Bob Nelson
A Motivated Fire, Lit From Within
The team at Barefoot Trainers are experienced, qualified coaches who have worked with people like you, to build confidence, to tackle problems and take steps to make change.
We work with a range of people who are, in a new leadership role, returning to work after having children, facing life changes or are just ‘stuck’ and want the support to move forward.
The outcome is that ‘motivated fire’ lit from within.
What do I want, where am I now and how will I get there?
So what is Coaching?
Coaching is a fast track service in order to create new ways to resolve issues, gain better results and generally achieve goals more easily. It works on the principle of forward thinking.
The skill of the coach is to use a combination of listening, questioning, observation and feedback to create conversations that provide insight and learning for the individual. The coachee will experience an un-biased focus and attention, in a safe environment, that helps them to understand themselves, see the bigger picture and to move forward.

Types of Coaching
Many good practitioners are put into a leadership role without the support and skills required to inspire, motivate and lead their teams.
Executive coaching is an effective way of developing leaders within the workplace to improve performance and support career development. It is a non threatening and enlightening approach to working with individuals – raising self awareness, building on strengths and defining and filling development gaps. The focus of the coaching is on organisational performance and a process that develops the leader’s capability in achieving short and long term goals. The results are clearly defined with all stakeholders, and are observable and measurable and in line with organisational objectives.

Executive Coaching
Teams are essential for achieving tasks in today’s workplace, and building a successful team is a key challenge for every manager. How can you motivate a group to work together effectively towards shared goals?
Effective team coaching helps teams focus on priorities, collaborating around an agreed consensus. Each individual actively supports others in the process. By fostering trust, open communication, and mutual respect, team coaching enables members to leverage their strengths. This improves individual performance and enhances overall team cohesion, ensuring alignment with collective objectives. With the right support, teams can overcome obstacles, improve problem-solving, and deliver successful outcomes in line with organisational goals.

Team Coaching
In today’s fast-paced society, stress, anxiety, and constant change create barriers that make it hard to see the bigger picture. These challenges can leave us feeling stuck. Working with a coach helps unravel these issues, offering new perspectives and ways of thinking that remove interference, improve situations, and lead to better results. A coach provides the clarity needed to achieve goals and move forward with confidence.
The coach acts as a critical friend, helping you navigate through complexities, see both the wood and the trees, and make sense of obstacles. With their support, you can overcome barriers, enhance your performance, and move towards your desired outcomes with a clear, focused mindset.
