The Founders

Jerry Connor and Lee Sears, directors of the award winning consultancy, Bridge, and authors of the book Why Work is Weird, believe that coaching is a very powerful way to enable personal change but was only being offered to the most senior managers in business due to the price tag. They were determined to find a way of being able to take the value of great coaching further down into organisations and to other parts of society.

 

The Architect

Sue Stokely, with over fifteen years experience in the field (as a change consultant with British Airways and General Manager of an independent change consultancy) set out to build a business that could bring this vision to life. She now leads the team that makes the Coach in a Box approach a reality.

Our Coaches We are proud that our vision has attracted coaches of the highest calibre. Typically experienced and talented managers in their organisations, they join Coach in a Box already having trained in relevant fields. Each individual is then accredited through Coach in a Box's own three month programme before being invited to work with our clients.

Our Specialists They are selected because they have the training to work at a more challenging level. For example, many of our specialists are practising psychotherapists. In spite of their targeted role, all our specialists also attended the three month accreditation programme before starting work.
