White Water Coaching

The perfect balance between psychological insight and business credibility.
We work with leaders in the area of personal development, leadership behaviours, team dynamics and board relationships.
We also leverage good practice by developing in-house coaches.

Executive Coaching

One-to-one Executive Coaching is the bedrock of personal development. White Water offers you both a very experienced coach, and also a team of experts who can work with you on specific topics, from influencing, to resilience, to career management, to leadership style.

In addition to general development, we also coach for major events:

  • Major promotion/the first 100 days of the new leader
  • Big presentations, roadshows, fundraising
  • Mid-career questioning: going beyond success

How do you choose the best Executive Coach for you?

Group Coaching

Imagine that you are working in a cross-functional group with conflicting interests and no clear path to decision-making. Emotions can run high and participants become overly guarded. Sometimes it feels like some sort of marriage counsellor could be the only solution!

Or perhaps you are dealing with a ‘wicked’ problem for which there is actually no answer and you need to harness the collective creative juices of the group to move forward.

When a team is in need of coaching, the number of relationships increases exponentially and creating the right space for disclosure and experimentation requires considerable skill.

In group coaching we work closely with you, facilitating, observing and transferring skills so that you get the best out of everyone, all the time.

The difference between Group Coaching and Training

Coach Training :
Accredited and recognised

At White Water we are focused on enhancing leadership behaviours, one leader at a time… Sometimes change is best initiated from the inside: install a coaching culture in your business…

We work closely with you to develop high quality internal coaches who can in turn spread good coaching behaviours.
Use stand-alone or to accompany a major transformation.

This programme has been accredited by the Association for Coaching to Certificate Level – the highest level consistent with a full time job. By the end of the programme, participants can really start to call themselves Executive Coaches and can use this as a springboard to further professional recognition. The certification is also essential to give internal credibility to the programme.

AC Coach Training Certificate

An exclusive programme for in-house executive coaches

This is a programme focusing on the unique challenges in-house executive coaches face, such as:

  • Equipping them with robust psychology-based skills when they are usually not psychologists
  • Building their confidence in dealing with internal customers who can be more senior and suspicious of internal initiatives
  • Managing the ethical challenges specific to internal roles
  • Getting to robust practitioner level as quickly as possible


What makes this programme unique is the deep level of partnership between the client and ourselves: by co-designing and co-delivering the programme we are able to substantially accelerate the development and enhance the performance of internal coaches. In a recent example, we were able to provide the equivalent of three years of experience over nine months!
