Professional Practitioner Diploma in Executive Coaching "I have been hugely impressed at how a relatively short programme could have such an impact. The PPD has been thought provoking, challenging and encouraging. A brilliant opportunity to work with an international group of coaches and to experiment and stretch the edges of my coaching practice. As a result, I feel I now have greater trust in myself and a greater depth and connection with my clients. Thank you." alumni
