VISION

To make a vital contribution to:

• The prosperity and quality of life in all communities.

• Changing the cycle of feelings of low achievement and dependence which is currently being experienced by a significant number of young people.

• Imagine if nothing is done to offer authentic and genuine understanding to certain young people there is the likelihood that an underclass will continue to be created which depletes the quality of community life for everyone.

• To assist young people of all academic and vocational abilities by giving them an insight into effective communication and interpersonal skills. The on-going benefit is the positive contribution that this future generation can make to enhance the quality of community life.

WHAT IS COACHING?

Coaching is the ability to work with people

towards a common vision, sharing a common

ideal and embracing a common goal, forming a unique relationship, regardless of differences.

A coach stands Shoulder to shoulder with individuals moving with them towards their objectives, displaying faith, trust, commitment and an undying belief in the vast potential of others.

Coaching is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results that are truly important to them.
