Hi London Coaches

Are you a qualified trainer and and expert in an area of soft skills?

I'm looking for a small number of such people to fulfill a contract with an Indian training company.

My company, the Smart School of Coaching, will act as the supplier of high quality UK trainers to run courses for large groups of people - anywhere from 60 to 500 people at a time.

This is very different from UK style training where we're used to small groups. But if you have flair, determination and know your subject then you'll do well.

This is not an employment contract - I'm simply looking for the right people for a small team of freelance trainers.

If you're interested - please drop me a line letting me know your experience, area of expertise and related qualifications etc.

Thanks and best wishes

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE & CV
I have been working with a range of businesses, effectively identifying employees training and development needs, designing and then delivering the solutions that meet the specific requirements of the client. I have had many years experience in Personal Development, LEAN Leadership/ Management and Team Building training operating at all levels across both the private and public sector. A substantial part of my time is dedicated to ongoing post training Coaching. I believe in creating a supportive and challenging relationship, built on trust and integrity. In this way coaching creates long term and sustainable change and opportunities to maximise both corporate and personal performance.

In my career I have worked with individuals from different backgrounds and cultures including the USA, Europe and Africa. Also having extensively worked nationally traveling to clients based all over the UK. I have experienced the change of business ownership and its impact on culture and have been able to draw on this experience to understand how change affects individuals and organisations.

Dynamic individual with energy and enthusiasm for results which is a major driver in the way I conduct myself. I see the positive intent in all behaviours, and am very resourceful in resolving situations. I aim to develop lasting rapport with individuals and teams, coaching them towards improvements in the areas that they have specified. I believe that by making step and incremental changes, people will grow and reach whatever they have set out to achieve.
