About this event

Join the new Kent CIPD coaching forum on May 19 at 12:00! Meet your lead, Rich, explore coaching's impact, & help shape our future topics.

Are you ready to redefine what coaching looks like in Kent? Join us for the inaugural session of the newly revitalized CIPD Coaching Special Interest Group.

Led by our new forum lead, Rich, this session isn't just a presentation—it’s a collaborative launchpad. We will demystify the landscape of Executive, Leadership, and Team coaching, exploring how these disciplines drive measurable success in the modern workplace.

More importantly, this is your forum. We want to dive deep into the challenges you’re facing on the ground and understand exactly what topics, speakers, and session styles will help you and your organization thrive.


What we’ll cover:

  • The vision: An introduction to Rich’s high-performance framework—blending sports science, psychology, and entrepreneurship.
  • Coaching defined: A fresh look at the nuances of Executive, Leadership, and Team coaching.
  • Interactive Discovery: A chance to share your current people challenges and organizational pain points.
  • Building the Roadmap: Help us shape the future of this group—tell us what topics and formats matter most to you.


Why attend

Whether you are an internal coach, an people professional looking to build a coaching culture, or an external consultant, this is your opportunity to help build a community that supports your professional growth. Join us on May 19th and let’s start building something impactful together.


About the host

Richard Turner

I’m Rich, and I’m not your standard executive coach—I’m an entrepreneur who is passionate about performance, psychology, fitness, sport and people.

With over a decade of experience, I’ve dedicated my career to empowering everyone from young athletes to CEOs to unlock their true potential and achieve sustainable health, performance and success. Drawing on my BSc in sport science coaching, I love blending insights from the world of sports into my coaching to create vibrant paths to individual and team success.

As a men’s hockey coach for over 7 years, I’ve learned the art of fostering teamwork and collaboration, helping every group I work with thrive and reach new heights.

As a Clarity 4d Colour Profiling coach, I help individuals and teams understand how they show up at work and within a team. This awareness helps them lean into their strengths, build awareness, improves communication across the team which leads to a higher output at both levels.

All this experience has led me to combine all of my passions and knowledge to create my own performance framework where I help people learn about the key pillars to elite performance.
