“I love talking to potential customers about our programmes and helping them decide which one is right for them and also hearing how much the programmes have changed their lives. I enjoy being part of a great team and working with people who are so supportive and brilliant at what they do.”
Sue Burston, Head of Operations
“Hearing about how our team coaching graduates are making a positive difference with their clients, including a lot of not for profits and charities, it feels as though in our own way we are helping to make the world a better place, I love being a part of that process.”
Mike Smith, Programme Manager - Systemic Team Coaching
“I find it motivating to build true success – which for me means paying attention to purpose, balance, and business results. It is rewarding when we build long term partnerships with our clients and see first-hand the impact of our work, building strong friendships along the way.”
Karen Smart, Head of Consultancy

In sharing our expertise, we have created a rich and diverse network that allows us to collaborate across borders, cultures, and languages. We are stronger working together and our global community can really help generate positive change and success for organisations and individuals worldwide.”
Moira Halliday, Director of Programmes and Faculty
“I believe in authentic leadership which supports other people to be their best and feel valued. People are at the very heart of our business and I am driven to make the benefits of coaching available to everyone. From developing first class skills for individuals working with people, to supporting the growth and productivity of organisations, our goal is to unlock potential, inspire fresh thinking, encourage purposeful working and create empowering cultures.”
Gina Lodge, CEO
"Like never before, organisations and the people in them find the need to be adaptable, resilient and resourceful. At the AoEC we believe coaching serves that end like no other management skill. Nothing gives me more pleasure than helping our clients see that begin to happen.
I believe that coaching conversations, done well, create the conditions to unlock those attributes and ignite that resourcefulness for the benefit of all. I love to explore its potential with other leaders as they lead in uncertain times."
John Hill, Commercial Director
