Advance as a Mediative Coach.

For leaders and practitioners ready to step their practice up — developing the advanced capacity to help others resolve, in the seam of the Leadership Gap.

Leadership, taken up a level

Not sideways to a technical role. Leadership, up a level.

This isn’t a step away from leadership into a technical role. It is leadership taken up a level — from resolving your own difficult situations, to developing the resolving capacity of others. It brings the greater independence of a contracted position, and a particular responsibility for the quality of the process.

Mediative Coaches work in the seam of the Leadership Gap — where what people need, what leaders feel able to provide, and what people experience have begun to pull apart.

The pathways

From accredited entry to advanced practice.

PCMMS is a significant foundation — not the whole practice. The full step-up brings together leadership experience, ICM formation, coaching and mediation capacity, integrated practice, and continuing reflection and peer scrutiny. PCMMS can be a pathway towards Mediative Coaching; it does not by itself confer it.

PCMMS

Our flagship, university-accredited qualification in mediation and mediation skills — the accredited way in. Full details →

Mediative Coaching

The integrated craft for the ground between coaching and mediation — requiring accreditation in both. More →

The Advanced Collective

Where the integrated practice is truly formed — a community of experienced mediator-coaches developing the craft together. More →

CPD & reflective practice

Supervision, peer scrutiny and continuing development that keep resolving capacity sharp between programmes.

Our design test

Every offer has to answer four questions.

The same test runs across everything we do. Here is how practitioner formation answers it.

What does it form?
The knowledge, stance and disciplined practice to mediate, coach and facilitate well.
How is it practised?
Accredited qualifications, observed practice, advanced pathways and continuing reflective practice.
What becomes visible?
Practitioners who hold a fair process with calm, clarity and impartiality under pressure.
How is it evidenced over time?
Accreditation, supervision, peer scrutiny and outcomes in real cases.
The other pathway

Resolving from inside responsibility.

The same person might use mediative skills from within their role on Monday, and act as an independent practitioner on Thursday. For the from-within pathway, see Leaders and Home Teams.
