INSPIRING PARTNERSHIPS

An opportunity to deepen and expand your own personal and professional growth by making a commitment to engage in a dynamic partnership. In a small group of 6 to 8 like-minded peer partners, you will dig deeper into self and discover how to grow by helping others achieve their desired outcomes.

Imagine having a small team of inspiring, dedicated coaches and mentors, each bringing their own areas of expertise and lifetime of knowledge, to serve YOU and help you achieve beyond what you could have hoped for over 20 weeks… that’s what an Inspiring Partnership offers you!

What is an Inspiring Partnership?

A small group of individuals, committed to serving one another, putting into practice a ‘givers mindset’ and experiencing, first hand, what it means to form genuine connections with people who want to learn, connect, grow, and give back.

Through collaboration and weekly support, the collective aim is to identify strong, stretching desired outcomes and for all to flourish both personally and professionally.

By committing to the principle of ‘giving to inspire others to give’ (Simon Sinek), we witness the magic of transformation happening across the group and deepening relationships that can be life changing.

Each Inspiring Partnership is served by Lead Partners: experienced coaches who facilitate group sessions and offer 1-2-1 mentoring along the way.

The programme seeks to meet all your development needs by providing:

  • A clear framework and methodology to support the growth of the Inspiring Partnership community (the growing IP Network).
  • Continuous Professional Development (CPD) and opportunities for partners to share their own offering to the group and wider IP Network.
  • Coach Supervision is available to Partners in line with AC membership requirements.

Hands on support will be offered to help you define, refine, and shine your desired outcomes for the duration of the project.

Opportunities to become a Lead Partner to run your own Inspiring Partnership are offered to partners.

The opportunity for growth expands to our growing IP Network.

Partners completing the programme were so inspired by the process and what they gained from it, that they have been motivated to stay involved and to develop their role as Lead Inspiring Partners in their own groups. This enables new groups to form and the connections within the network grow ever wider.

Who is Inspiring Partnerships for?

Since starting in January 2022, our focus has been to support coaches in their ongoing development – providing mentoring, cpd and supervision as standard. However, as we continue to grow our network, it has become apparent that people in any walk of life or any profession would benefit from the collective power that comes from connection and co- creation.

Currently recruiting:
  • Coaches who are looking for a small, intimate, supportive, and inspiring network to help them move to the next level in their coaching career.
  • Individuals who are serious about investing in themselves and others and are willing to make a full-on commitment for 20 weeks.

We’d love to hear from you if you are interested in co-creating a new inspiring partnership for like-minded individuals out with the coaching world.

Client Appreciation 

Pam Peters

“We came together as 6 individuals with a commitment to give & to grow. We shared experience, contacts, ideas & insights. We learned from each other in an organic & spontaneous way, & the energy that generated was palpable. By the end of the 6 months we felt the closeness of a family with the accomplishment of a team. Inspiring Partnerships have a special kind of magic - join one if you can!”

Quentin Thomas, Change Coach

" If you're looking for a group to support you on your current journey then you should consider Michele's Inspiring Partnerships. It's based on the networking givers gain philosophy so that every member of the group contributes to the success of the others. During the bi - monthly group calls, we were held accountable, asked what support we needed, identified what support we could provide each other and learnt from Michele. On top of that, some of the calls included coach supervision and "think out loud" discussions in which we helped a member of the group brainstorm a challenge they had. We also organised 121s between ourselves in order to get to know each other better and help each other in any way we could. An important benefit I got was the feeling of being supported as I continue my (sometimes lonely) journey as a coach. Everyone had different strengths and therefore could help in different ways. Michele also did an amazing job at chairing the calls and ensuring we got as much value out of them as possible. I always left them feeling better and positive. "

Anneke Radin - Snaith, Life Coach/Learner/Educator

As I think back on my Inspiring Partnership experience, I realize that creating intentional space focused on supporting each other has a tremendous value that’s hard to put into words. It includes deep connection, positive mindset, confidence, and warmth from helping someone else, and wisdom that comes from windows into others ’ thoughts. I gained so much from being part of this group! Every call we had left me inspired and energized. Insight into partners’ thoughts, ideas, and vulnerabilities helped me be more accepting and understanding in every part of my life. The group was a supportive, safe space to try out new thoughts and ideas, push outside my comfort zone, and get helpful feedback. The structure of the Inspiring Partnership and the people in my group were an invaluable support when I experienced an unexpected difficult life transition. I am so grateful. I wholeheartedly recommend joining an Inspiring Partnership Group and look forward to starting one of my own! A few of the many reasons to be part of this amazing experience are:

  • Deep connections are more important now than ever. They help us view ourselves and others in positive, empathetic ways at a time in history when much seems to be pulling us apart. Inspiring Partnerships creates and nurtures deep connections.
  • Being part of a group that is outside of the realm of family/friends/colleagues allows for a different type of connection that is free from interpersonal history or job pressures. It is pure, honest, and deeply supportive.
  • Knowing that you can help other people in ways you never thought of - and that you hav e a group of people available to help you - are powerful and rewarding experiences.
