Testimonials
The Coaching Leader by Northpoint is thoughtfully structured to not only impart ICF theory but also provide ample practical coaching sessions. Jim and John emphasise facilitating discussions, sharing experiences, and delivering live demos to develop our muscle memory. Additionally, they arrange numerous coaching opportunities between classes, allowing students to learn in a safe environment with subsequent feedback. Each lesson was intense yet meaningful, and I gained new insights every time. I highly recommend this programme to aspiring coaches looking to accelerate their learning journey.

I started with little knowledge about coaching, but through this programme, I've discovered its meaning and value being a coach, and how coaching can positively impact people's lives. My 6 months journey with Northpoint has been transformational.
Jim and John are exceptional coaches who have crafted a thoughtfully structured programme. Their approach gradually builds understanding through practice, feedback, and invaluable tips, making the learning experience both engaging and effective. Their wealth of knowledge and experience is making this programme not only about learning, but also applying your learning to the real world challenges.
Though my journey as a coach is just beginning, I'm deeply grateful for their guidance and support throughout my growth. I recommend Northpoint to anyone interested in exploring coaching, or advancing their coaching skills – you'll be in the best hands with Jim and John, who are undoubtedly among the finest coaches in Singapore.
This programme hasn't just taught me coaching techniques; it's opened my eyes to a new way of supporting and empowering others. The skills and principles I've learned will stay with me through my personal live and professional career.
