About the Time to Think Coaching Course

This course, delivered over four days, will give you everything you need to take this process into your coaching practice. It introduces the 'Spectrum of Independence', exploring how and where Time to Think can enhance your coaching practice, giving you natural, tangible ways of working to take with you.

After completing the course, you’ll undertake the Practicum work, supervised by Sophie, as a Time To Think Faculty member. Once completed, you’ll be welcomed into the Time To Think Collegiate, qualified as a Time To Think Coach, and eligible to join collegiate meetings run by the global faculty. 

We will spend three days together immersed in a Thinking Environment in beautiful retreat-like surroundings. To save you travelling, we will then have our 4th day online.

Before you book, I wanted to share a little of how I see Coaching because even though I coach, supervise and qualify coaches, I don’t see Coaching as something I ‘do’.

Instead, for me, Coaching is a way of being.

It’s a way of being that involves listening to another person in a powerful, transformative, generative way. It’s a way of being grounded in uncertainty, questions and curiosity. A way of being that requires unlearning (or at least putting on hold) most of what we’ve conventionally learned about conversations, helping others, problem-solving, and achieving outcomes.

It’s radically different, radically relational, and radically beautiful.

Thinking Environment Coaching will ask you to consider what Coaching is and what legacy you want to leave behind once your sessions end.
