“The ADSG in-house Practitioner Diploma programme was very informative, reflective, organised and fun. Being part of the PD programme was a great opportunity for me to explore and grow. It provided me with clear structure and useful set of tools and techniques for my coaching sessions. It was also a room to learn about myself and my traits. Mentoring sessions with Leila were the extra mile to sharpen my skills, organise my thoughts and support my journey as a coach with one of the most skilful and experienced coach in the field. Leila is a great mentor, teacher, and coach. I learned so much from her vast experience and knowledge. She is very professional and I became a better coach under her supervision. Thank you for all your support.. Thank you for being YOU.”

The faculty are amazing at giving feedback and pushing you to stretch your limits. I am now more aware of myself as a coach, better at implementing my coaching skills, and more willing to work with clients around me!” It further enriched my coaching credentials being triple accredited by the three major global coaching bodies.”
