Here is what clients have said about Coaching Skills for Managers Programmes from FPG:

"I came thinking I had done it all before, but the fact that it gave a great deal of attention to a few but important skills was very rewarding (and challenging!)" Director, Mouchel

"I want to write to you personally after attending the two day coaching course, run by your organisation. The people who ran the event were outstanding and a true credit to your organisation. Please pass on my sincere thanks. It is not often I attend courses, but I found it life changing. I telephoned my boss after the first day and described it as if I'd been operated on. To come away with tools that I can use and to build upon my existing skills, are invaluable. Thanks for this outstanding course and I hope one day in future that I can look forward in anticipation to receiving further training from your organisation." Manager, Tesco Stores Ltd

"The most powerful programme I have ever experienced. I am now using the C.I.G.A.R. model in all my day-to-day activities to achieve the best for myself and my team." Anon

"The session went fantastically well and everyone seemed really engaged. It’s always worthwhile to include external organisations at these group events and breath some fresh life into proceedings. Many of the delegates said that the coaching session was the best part of the day." Royal Mail
