Roots of influence

“..How would it be if your employees put as much energy into their work as they do their sport or hobby?” That was the simple question that led Liz Morrison to set up Sporting Tactics in 1988.

Coaching with Integrity

Our coaches have been trained and accredited to the standards of the ICF (International Coach Federation) which has the most rigorous credentialing programme. Membership and accreditation demonstrates our commitment to the profession’s highest standards of professional coaching competency.

Using Metaphor and Storytelling

The techniques of NLP and use of symbolic metaphor can be highly effective tools when used by experienced master practitioners. Our associates trained with the original developers of NLP,  More recently we have embraced story telling and the use of symbolic metaphor and clean language as powerful ways to express and shape our realities.
