Intense Learning at the Residential Experience

Eynsham HallFor any life coach it is the acquisition of the sensitive, powerful and insightful coaching skills that are the most exciting parts of the learning process. This is why you will enjoy three days of intense, highly interactive training during which you will develop coaching skills and learn how to use powerful life coaching models. The training, interaction and feedback experienced during these three days are unparalleled in the coach training world.
You will be treated to three days of fabulous training, in a wonderful, peaceful environment at a luxury venue. Delivering the training in this manner sits very comfortably with Noble Manhattan’s ethos. Not only does it cause minimum inconvenience to our students, many of which travel from afar and do not want to be going backwards and forwards for 1 day events, but it also minimises the carbon footprint of our training.
Equally important is our belief that you should be freed from any other demands on your time or thoughts so that you can take full advantage of the learning environment and the opportunity to mix with like-minded people.
There are tremendous benefits gained from spending time with other students outside of the classroom environment. You can learn a great deal, develop life-long friendships, link up with study buddies and generally enjoy yourself.

Building your Coaching Practice

We take pride in the fact that in our view we provide more opportunity than any other company for our students to build their Coaching Practice. We do not take up a huge chunk of the main course on this subject as for those intending to apply their skills in current employment, it is inappropriate. However, from practical written guidance given upon completion of the residential experience and advice at the end of a phone to additional workshops and optional membership of our Business for Coaches, if you want to build a successful coaching career, Noble Manhattan can support you all the way.
