Coaching That Builds Confident Leaders, Stronger Teams and Real Behavioural Change
Our coaching programs are grounded in behavioural science and designed to help people communicate better, lead with confidence and grow in meaningful, measurable ways.
Services
Coaching for Individuals
Ideal for emerging leaders, high-potential staff, managers and anyone wanting to improve their communication, confidence or capability.
Individual coaching helps people understand themselves better, build new skills and overcome behavioural roadblocks that limit performance.
ICF Credential Coach Training
Through the Peak Performance Workplace Coaching Program, we provide a pathway to the ICF ACC Credential.
This internationally recognised credential gives coaches the skills, frameworks and competencies required to coach effectively and professionally.
Exciting News! We are currently in the process of attaining accreditation as a Level 1 provider of ACC Credential Training
Coaching Supervision Services
Coaching supervision provides a reflective, supportive space for professional coaches to improve their practice.
We help coaches explore their approach, strengthen self-awareness, refine technical skills and ensure their coaching aligns with ethical and professional standards.
Team Coaching
Teams are at their best when they trust each other, communicate well and work toward shared goals.
Team coaching focuses on communication patterns, behavioural dynamics, decision-making, conflict resolution and collaboration.
We use practical frameworks and real-world scenarios to create lasting improvements in team performance
Profile-Based Coaching
Profiling tools such as MBTI, DiSC, iWAM, iEQ9 and 360 Feedback help individuals and leaders understand their behaviour, preferences and development opportunities.
Profile-based coaching provides deeper insight and practical actions that help people grow with clarity and confidence.
In-Person Courses

Looking for Something Else?
If you’re seeking something outside the programs above, we can design a coaching solution specifically for your people and your organisational needs.
Our Approach
Alive & Kicking Solutions coaches are credentialled, internationally qualified professionals who have trained and been rigorously assessed against best practice standards through the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
We believe in the potential of every person, and we also believe that each individual is the best designer of their own future, path and process. Our starting point is that every person has the right and the capability to create meaningful change in their work and in their life.
Our philosophy is to engage with all clients in a respectful, non-judgemental, approachable and compassionate way, bringing about a deepened understanding and expanding awareness of the real human and business challenges each person faces and the change they desire to create.
In our coaching sessions we draw on a range of evidence-based approaches, including:
- Coaching frameworks such as GROW
- Transactional Analysis
- Clean Language models
- Creative coaching techniques
Our coaches are also NLP or Master NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) practitioners and blend these methods to create the most effective approach for each client.

Who Our Coaching Services are NOT For
-
Individuals who are really looking for therapy or couselling and believe that coaching is the same.
-
Organisations who want to use coaching to "tick a box" and aren't concerned about the quality and ethics of the process
-
People who are being forced to engage in coaching, and who are determined to undermine and derail the process.
Coaching, in our definition, is an agreed partnership and the coachee is seeking change or improvement of some kind.
