What clients think of institute founder Stephen Powell as a coach and facilitator: |
Coaching on television |
“Thanks for your contribution on ‘Crash Course’. Your natural authority and calm, commonsense approach to life coaching greatly enhanced the series. Several of our contributors say they have learned a huge amount on their Crash Course... and one couple claim you really HAVE changed their lives!"
Liz Lloyd Griffiths, television producer at Al Fresco Productions |
Group facilitation |
"An excellent Staff Professional Development experience. All objectives met for the day. We were stimulated and encouraged in a very positive, affirming way. The ambience of your home, the warm welcome, superb cuisine and beautiful surroundings made us all feel very relaxed and enabled us to reflect and challenge ourselves. "
"I feel the day contributed to what we are attempting to achieve at school -- a greater sense of our own awareness and well-being. Your gentle manner and perceptive insights have greatly enhanced this aim. I would highly recommend the day for all who work in an educational community."
John Healy, headteacher of Our Lady and St Michael's Roman Catholic Primary School, Abergavenny |
"I had a truly wonderful day - the mixture of interactions was well balanced and the environment added to my experience. I had space to slow down and to make real connections with myself, others and nature."
Susan Court |
"A wonderful day. Extremely insightful. The reflective walk was the best part for me, as I don't normally take time out alone to think about my life, values and direction."
Paula Daniel, a Development Officer for Prince's Trust Cymru |
“The environmental movement needs many great leaders, activists and pioneers. Stephen Powell is one of the most inspiring facilitators and coaches working in this field. His Gaia Coach Institute is a wonderful initiative. He has my fullest support.”
Satish Kumar, Editor of Resurgence magazine |
“Thank you so much for providing us with such a thought-provoking and thoughtfully led day and for sharing your home and cooking with us. It was great. I think the balance was just perfect and your sensitive timing and facilitating of the programme was enormously helpful and much appreciated.”
Robin Morrison, Church & Society officer, Church in Wales |
“It was a challenging course to facilitate as there were more teachers than usual to coordinate (five instead of three) and he rose to the challenge admirably. Students on this course came from 12 different countries and a wide range of backgrounds, and Stephen dealt with them all very effectively, ensuring that the learning environment and community atmosphere were consistently positive.”
Schumacher College, on facilitation of “Seeing with New Eyes” |
Individual coaching |
"For me, bringing to my attention potential and qualities I didn’t know I had is Stephen’s special talent. His gentle guidance and care-full conversation gave me the time and direction I needed to live yet more adventurously!"

“Stephen’s ability to offer insight whilst giving me the space to
discover has been invaluable. After a short course of sessions I feel renewed confidence, trust and excitement in the path I’m on. It has been a great bit of the journey, some really good things have come up for me to carry with me and explore.”

“At long last, I write to thank you for a wonderful course – it really helped me to focus.”
