Realise potential
As humans, we are born with the potential for many skills, things like empathy, creativity, curiosity, and presence are innate, but they are also underdeveloped by default, shaped by our environment, and influences by survival patterns and culture.
Think of our ‘human’ skills as seeds. They may be there, but they need nurturing to full develop and thrive.
Over time, we are conditioned by society, education work systems and even trauma and so we tend to prioritise other traits over our more human ones. We replace:
curiosity with compliance and ‘right’ answers;
creativity with efficiency and standardisation;
presence with distraction and productivity pressure;
empathy with detachment or professionalism;
courage with fear of failure or judgement.
We don’t lose these human skills entirely, we adapt them to survive in systems that often don’t value them.
But systems are changing and so is our world, at an accelerated pace and the skills we may have replaced are necessary for our future.
“We are human beings, not human doings”
“I really believe that everyone has a talent, ability or skill that he can mine to support himself and to succeed in life”
Who are you?
You have been helping others for a while in some capacity. You may already be a business adviser or consultant, a business owner or have worked in design or marketing to help grow businesses.
However, you may have recognised that there are gaps in people being able to achieve what you have worked with them on and would love to help both strategically and with the individuals capacity to action.
You value an evidence-based process, coaching frameworks and standards and to reach a credible outcome with someone with extensive experience coaching people and business.
Having the opportunity to practically apply what you learn during the course and seeing the results of helping others through a structured process is just what you need.
Getting support to create a meaningful and flexible business for yourself and to be part of the 25eight network is what motivates you to complete the program.
We need people like you to help others live a life through business on their own terms.

Pioneering the new
This program is the first of it’s kind and the October 2025 start date is the first cohort of this program by 25eight. As such, you will be the first to experience the course content, coaching scenarios and involvement in 25eight programs during your enrolment. The course is also being assessed for accreditation with Association for Coaching and you will be required to complete documentation about your experience during the course. The price for this cohort reflects its maturity and will increase in future cohorts.
To meet with the Association for Coaching rigorous standards for training providers, we will complete a checklist to ensure you have met each application element of the AC Coach Accreditation Scheme. This will form part of our assessment process at the end of the program. On completion, you will be awarded a certificate of successful completion which can then be used as evidence of your coach training in application for accreditation, once approved.
