Working Pace offers a range of services in the spectrum of Personal and Professional Development

 

An Introduction to WorkingPACE.

As with many of PACE's services, WorkingPACE takes a very holistic approach: 

Using the metaphor of an iceberg, coaching works with the unconscious parts of you that are not visible such as self-esteem and confidence, as well as the visible aspects of you, such as how you project yoourself in a personal or professional situation. 

Coaching gives you the opportunity to reach your full potential through a series of one-to-one coaching interactions, group workshops and events.

 

  

One to one Life and Career Coaching:

You will have 8 fortnightly appointments with your career coach who will assist you in setting your short term, medium term and long term goals.

A great way to work with a professional who will help you to examine and clarify your needs, values and beliefs and develop the goals that will help you grow - personally and professionally.

Through coaching, Pete will help you overcome the hurdles you meet along the way in a fair, mature and balanced way.

He will work with you to monitor and support your progress towards your goals and to stay motivated to reach them.

Personal and Professional Development Workshops:
