About Us

We are experts in carefully matching coaches and mentors with leaders and their teams, designing bespoke coaching programmes and ensuring effective outcomes. Our mission is to ensure our clients get the best outcome from their investment in coaching.

We make sure that organisations, individuals and teams get the most from their investment in coaching by

  • offering access to a diverse cadre of coaches and mentors
  • carefully shortlisting the best fit coaches based on the brief
  • tailoring to maximise the effective outcome

Our clients include global FTSE listed organisations along with smaller companies, start up’s and third sector institutions.

There’s a difference between a good coach and a great coach

Approach

We Listen

Every brief and every coachee is different. We seek to understand the context, for both the individual and organisation, along with desired outcomes, the internal support and of course, your budget.

We Match

We’ll provide a shortlist of best fit coaches, their bios and their tailored response to the brief, helping the coachee decide who to choose.

We Design

We tailor each coaching programme to ensure maximum success. We might recommend an initial Diagnostic, a 360 exercise, a psychometric assessment or a 2-coach approach.

Emma Rooke

The Coaching Solution was founded by Selina Van Laere. Selina has worked in the coaching space for over 15 years with hundreds of global organisations. She has a stellar reputation for her knowledge of what kind of coach and coaching programme is needed and an international network of world class coaches.

“Finding great coaches is becoming more challenging. We handpick coaches with strong corporate careers, a track record of coaching senior leaders up to and including the Board, and with the executive presence and intellect to sit around the table as an equal”.

Selina is supported by Emma Rooke who looks after the operational delivery for all our clients. Emma has spent her career in client service. Working closely together they are the ‘dream team’.

At The Coaching Solution we don’t believe an executive coach is always the answer, we don’t believe all coaches are the same and we don’t believe all coaching programmes should be packaged the same.

Social Value Committment

Giving back is one of our key values and an incredibly important element of who we are and how we operate as a business.

As well as our own charity work and the good causes our coaches support, all of which are typically on a local footprint, we are delighted to have teamed up with Evertreen, a fantastic global charity that plants trees all over the world. The trees are planted directly by local farmers and bring environmental, social and economic benefits.

Evertreen are on a mission to transform the world, one tree at a time and we are pleased to do our bit to contribute to a healthier planet for our future generations by planting a tree for every coaching assignment.
