We spoke to recent AoEC Practitioner Diploma graduate Dr Julia Nightingale about her experience on the programme. What introduced you to...
"The AoEC Practitioner Diploma in Executive Coaching has been one of the most impactful professional learning opportunities I have engaged with. It has provided me with a range of frameworks in order to support others. More importantly, it has enhanced my own self-awareness and provided space for insightful self-reflection that has impacted my own professional practice."
