The 7Cs of Coaching
All of our coaching services and training centre on our 7C approach which was developed by our founder and CEO, David Liddle. The 7Cs are the foundational principles of a transformational culture. Through coaching conversations and coaching training, we examine and develop these capabilities for individual employees, leaders and teams. We know that when equipped with this toolkit, the impact on engagement, performance and wellbeing can be truly astonishing.
Compassion
Coaching creates a safe, dignified space which in turn, fosters compassion for ourselves and for others
Collaboration
Coaching is a collaborative approach between the coach and the coachee
Common Purpose
Coaching encourages us to consider and reconnect with our needs, hopes, aspirations and sense of purpose.
Communication
Coaching is a powerful tool for talking, listening, processing and reflecting.
Connection
In coaching we build a powerful sense of connection with with the coach and with ourselves.
Courage
Coaching conversations empower us to challenge ourselves and to challenge others
Curiosity
At the heart of coaching is learning through questioning and reflecting. This comes from being curious.

THE ENGAGE COACHING CHARTER
- Every client is resourceful: This means that we don’t believe people need ‘fixing’.
- We develop that resourcefulness through effective questions, challenge, and support: This means that we avoid advice-giving, but instead, take people into territory they might not have considered to evoke awareness, consider choice and invite experimentation.
- We coach people, not problems: This means that we recognise people as whole humans, with pasts, presents and futures. We encourage and invite all parts of the person into the coaching space.
- We are all equal: This means that we operate adult-adult with people, and the relationship is one of mutual respect.
- We are committed to closing the gap: This means that we believe the core purpose of coaching is to close the gap between potential and performance and we work with people who are committed to doing the same.
