Cambridge Network formalises coaching service
As organisations navigate complex challenges, from talent retention and hybrid working to strategic transformation, coaching has become an essential tool for building leadership capability and organisational resilience.
Research from the International Coaching Federation (ICF) shows that 80 per cent of individuals who receive coaching report increased self-confidence, while over 70 per cent experience improvements in work performance, relationships, and communication. The offering is part of Cambridge Network’s continued commitment to fostering personal growth, organisational resilience and leadership effectiveness across the region.
Through one-to-one or team-based coaching, individuals and organisations can now access tailored support focused on enhancing performance, navigating change and developing authentic, impactful leadership.
Jennifer Turley, Head of Learning & Development at Cambridge Network, explains: “Our coaches have been quietly empowering individuals and teams to reach their full potential for years, with outstanding feedback from those we’ve supported. Now, we’re excited to officially showcase them. Whether you’re embracing change, enhancing leadership skills, or discovering new paths to success, we’re here to help.”
A recent testimonial from Emma, an Operations Manager who worked with coach Sheila McDerment, reflects the deep impact of this personalised approach: “Sheila was an incredible support as both my role and the organisation evolved. She has a remarkable ability to break down theory, adapt it to real-world challenges, and guide me into action.
“Her approach is both challenging and empowering – thanks to her, I made several meaningful shifts. I would absolutely work with her again.” John Gourd, CEO at Cambridge Network, says:
“Our central mission is to help our members thrive and make the most of the opportunities the local eco-system offers. To do this, leaders and managers from all types and sizes of organisations need to constantly develop their skills, knowledge and strategies – our coaching support provides this and allows leaders to work around their existing commitments. We look forward to developing the leaders and organisations of the future.”
Cambridge Network’s pool of trusted professional coaches and mentors brings experience from a wide range of sectors, including tech startups, research institutions, and global organisations.
Coaching is available for executives, emerging leaders, individuals at career crossroads, and teams looking to unlock their full potential. This formalised offer complements Cambridge Network’s wider suite of training courses, in-house programmes, and consultancy services, further strengthening its mission to support the growth and success of its members. You don’t have to be a Cambridge Network member to book the coaching services but members receive a sizeable discount.
