Roots to Rise is grounded growth, empowerment, and transformation that begins from within.
Roots to Rise is our transformative coaching programme designed to nurture growth from the inside out – helping individuals and organisations build the awareness, confidence, and skills to empower themselves and others.
Developed and delivered in partnership with Yes We Can, this programme brings together Teakisi’s community-centred approach and Yes We Can’s expertise in leadership and coaching development. Together, we’ve created an accessible, inclusive, and empowering experience that supports participants to grow both personally and professionally.
This 2 + ½ + ½ day training offers a unique blend of learning, reflection, and real-world practice. Participants begin their journey with two immersive training days in Autumn 2025, followed by a CPD reflection session in Spring 2026 and another in Summer 2026 to consolidate learning and share experiences from coaching practice.
At its heart, Roots to Rise is an interactive and experiential journey. It invites participants to engage deeply with their own self-awareness and development while learning the mindset and skillset that define effective coaching. Between sessions, you’ll take part in hands-on coaching practice, with support from Teakisi and Yes We Can to match you to coachees – allowing you to apply your new skills in a supportive, real-life context.
We strongly encourage applications from Black and ethnically minoritised communities, who are often underrepresented in professional coaching spaces.
During the training, we explore what it means to be a coach, not just as a role, but as a way of thinking, listening, and empowering others. You’ll leave with the practical tools, techniques, and confidence to coach both formally and effectively in your own settings.
The programme objectives are to:
-
Explain how coaching and mentoring benefit individuals, communities, and organisations.
-
Provide best practices for contracting, confidentiality, and record-keeping to ensure professional and ethical coaching.
-
Introduce the tools, techniques, and processes that underpin effective coaching conversations.
-
Develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to perform as a capable and reflective coach.
Roots to Rise also serves as a strong foundation for those who wish to pursue a formal coaching qualification in the future.
The programme is designed to align with professional standards and can pave the way for progression, subject to personal choice and access to funding or self-funding options.
