The EiA Coaches

Our superb team of professional business coaches, running our innovative programmes, make sure that when we run a course we really touch the hearts and minds of the young people and INSPIRE them to make the most of themselves.   

Our coaches have diverse backgrounds and personalities, but have three things in common:

• A passion and belief that every young person has talent and potential – though it may be hidden or channelled in a negative direction.
  
• The ability to inspire that person to make the most of their lives - some of our coaches struggled in their early years themselves.
  
• An understanding of the link between education and business or entrepreneurship – many of our coaches have or still do run their own businesses as well.

Let participants on our programmes speak for themselves:

“I would just like to say ‘thank you’ for the opportunity and experience. It was just fabulous. If the opportunity ever came again, I would love to participate again. The coaches were excellent and made learning fun. Thank you.”

“I learnt the importance of mindset - our coach told us how essential language is to the mind: after telling yourself you can do something, you can; can't is not in my vocabulary any longer.”
