Coach Toolbox
This page is designed to help you get the most out of your coaching programme by bringing together key resources, tools, and guidance in one place.
Whether you’re looking for programme checklists, accreditation support, or practical insights to deepen your learning, you’ll find everything you need here.
Our virtual coaching programme checklists provides easy access to all necessary documents for participants in our coaching programmes.
Our experienced mentors have been through the AC process and are here to guide you every step of the way. From logging coaching hours to completing your AC logs and templates.
Join our supervised sessions—exclusive to Top Right Thinking students—for guided reflection, skills practice, and meaningful peer discussion. Free for current students as part of your course; past students welcome for a small fee.
Our ‘Friend of a Friend’ programme gives new coaches real experience by working with a professional friend outside their cohort. Friends enjoy three free coaching sessions, while coaches build confidence, practise chemistry and contracting, and log essential hours toward accreditation.
