Our next Foundations - Program in partnership with NSW Primary Principals Association
Foundations - Leading Coaching Conversations Program
Better Conversations, powerful results
Build stronger relationships. Lead with confidence. Create lasting impact.
The Foundations Program is designed to empower leaders and professionals to connect more meaningfully, communicate more effectively, and lead with empathy. Whether you're working with your team or supporting your family, this program gives you the tools to truly engage, inspire, and make a difference.
Through four dynamic online modules, you’ll be guided through real workplace scenarios and introduced to a ‘Coaching as a way of being’—a powerful mindset that fosters respectful, inclusive teamwork and transforms organisational culture. You’ll explore essential coaching skills like empathy, active listening, and thoughtful questioning, all while building the confidence to start coaching straight away.
To ensure lasting success, the program includes after-support such as check-in sessions, coaching circles, and a final review to help embed your skills and reflect on your impact.
This isn’t just a course—it’s a catalyst for lasting change. If you’re ready to lead with clarity, courage, and compassion, the Foundations Program is the place to start.

The most practical coaching training I have attended in about 20 years! We are definitely going to adopt the approach more broadly here and I will be encouraging our executive to support more staff to undergo the training as it is super valuable. Thanks again for providing a terrific course.

The Foundations Program (formerly Solution Focus Leader as a Coach) with Annette was one of the most outstanding programs I have ever attended. It was just so practical!

This course was amazing for me, I am only new to the role of managing people so this was great to gain some clarity on the best approach for coaching. I have become a lot more self-aware and have realized I need to make a few changes first. Annette you are a gun!
