As a Learning & Development Executive, I completed a Diploma in Coaching with Kingstown College to enhance my skills. The experience reignited my passion for coaching and led me to complete two further diplomas. The knowledge, confidence and practical skills I gained enabled me to launch and lead an in-house coaching programme within my organisation.
