Coaching and Coach Training
People First delivers transformative coaching experiences for individuals and corporates to deeply connect with the inner being and forward their conscious works. Our coach training programs support coaches to deepen their coaching poise and presence in their endeavor to share a nourishing space for their clients.
Our coaching and coach training spaces are designed to integrate and sustain inner shifts with outer manifestation. The spaces evoke awareness (self & environment), unlock potential strengths that are already present, yet to be discovered and expressed, and enhance performance and thriving at work and life.
Whether it is a cohort of coaches getting trained or 1-1 coaching spaces or group coaching our primary focus is to co-create transformative journeys for people. We work towards leaving them in a space of acceptance of their whole selves, celebrating what is working and evoking awareness of what specifically needs attention as they evolve to a more integrated version of themselves. It’s about teaching them to fish, handholding until the change is brought to fruition and then enabling to use these processes on their own. Thereby they discover their own empowering process and what yields fulfillment and results for them.
HOW IT WORKS
The Inner
Presence
Framework
One of its kind holistic framework that brings awareness to the patterns of mind and life energies, work style orientations, quality of relationships and how we show up in life & work. It’s a well-researched framework that clarifies our inner presence through eight different parts of our being and reveals strengths present within us. The 8 parts of being bring light into your thinking process, emotional states, internal sense of power, degree of joy, state of wellbeing in your body and sustained habits.

Our Coaching Services –
for Individuals and Organizations
Each one of us has a way of working – how we show up (skills, behaviors and actions) and a way of being (inner qualities). And we are all looking for more holistic experiences that help us live a fuller life – a life of personal fulfillment and contribution. Coaching can help you in many ways to explore aspects of life and work. Being coached supports in –
- helping you see yourself more clearly – an inquiry into seeing yourself as a whole person (thoughts, sensations in the body, emotions, energies, drive & feelings and a deeper awareness of self) in professional or personal life – discovering core nature and strengths
- building a future vision – opening possibilities, aspirations and perspectives of what and who you need to become, evolving vision of conscious work and creating action plans for progress
- supporting you to hold a will (resilience) – to express respectfully and with care, handling barriers to execution, focusing on productivity with excellence and joy and nurturing quality relationships
- sustaining the new states – making the new skills and ways of living a habit, creating methods of accountability for yourself, appreciating progress and learning.
We work with individuals to integrate their outer manifestations (excellence in performance at work, building quality relationships, leading people, leading organizations, contributing to larger eco-systems) to their inner being (self-awareness of strengths and qualities, awareness of strengths and qualities required for client/project/ tasks at work and building inner practices for wellbeing and enhancing capacities).
Our coaching services are for leaders, first-time people managers, entrepreneurs, consultants, working professionals, parents, teachers, young adults or coaches who are seeking change or aspirating to creating impact. We offer on demand and structured Executive / Leadership Coaching, Group / Team Coaching, Life / Transformation Coaching, Career and Parenting Coaching.

Coaching with Depth -
Our Coach Education Wing
Deeper coaching spaces are held where the coach masters the science of coaching structures & skills and knows how to creatively flow beyond them like an artist. Each coaching conversation is unique, and each conversation presents an opportunity for the client as well as the coach to explore deeper qualities that are present and those that are seeking transformative expression.
The Coaching Methodology: As a coaching with depth coach, you will learn to dance with the client as you master the art of holding a transformative space for the client. The highest form of service is to honour the deeper human potential, sense it in its’ expression (positive or negative) and begin to shift it to a state of contribution. A coach can accomplish this by holding a poise and space of subtle awareness in which both the coach and the client experience transformation.
The Framework: Coaching with depth is a framework, methodology and a way of living. It will train you to approach the client as a whole person and become aware of the systematic nature of who they have become (current reality) and what they aspire to become (future/ higher state they wish to hold and operate from).
The Coach: The ‘coach’ who explores ‘Coaching with Depth’ can be coming from any walk of life. They can be a professional, life or leadership coach. They can also be a leader, manager, HR professional, parent, teacher, psychologist, healer or therapist who formally or informally hold roles of developing others. It is meant for coaches who prepare their own being and become equipped to hold the space in which the client can discover, be and evolve themselves.
The Transformation:
With coaching with depth framework, you will shift from being a person who identifies and resolves issues to being a coach who is aware of what is emerging in the moment and spotting the part of being the client needs to express. You will build the creative courage to offer it to the client with a strong yet gentler and subtler way of being.
Within each coaching conversation you will learn to directly spot the core vision, aspiration and purpose the client is resonating both at individual and collective level. Every strength or limitation present has a corresponding underlying basis in our mind, emotion, energy, senses and body (which we refer to as the eight parts of our inner being).
The Learnings: As a coach, you learn to:
- recognize specific patterns of strengths and limitations at the being level of your client using our tools.
- support the client to sustain Inner Practices which work out the exact ‘being’ state and ‘doing’ behaviour they seek to transform.
- enable bringing balance, harmony, flow and closure into the coaching sessions.
The coach and the client look together into these discoveries and craft journeys that nourish the core of the client.
