Preparing for the next workshop

In advance of the next workshop in September we would like coaches to read one paper included in the related resources at the bottom of this page.

Please see the reading groups below, if you are in Group 1 please read the ‘Culture of Quality‘; Group 2Creativity & Improvement‘; Group 3A Matter of Time‘ and Group 4Revenge of the Right Brain

At the workshop days in September we will get you together as a group to discuss your paper and then teach the learning from it back to the wider group of coaches.
