Group coaching is becoming a powerful tool for leadership development and culture change.

In this blog, Rachel Morris shares her take on where it’s heading, the latest trends shaping its future, and simple ways professionals can get more from it. It’s a must-read for today’s people leaders.

We've been listening to tons of podcasts for inspiration as we’ll be launching our own in the autumn.

While you wait, below are a few of our summer listening recommendations from the team at Motion Learning. We hope you enjoy them!

If you’re looking to strengthen your organisation’s leadership capability and increase business performance, group coaching could be the missing piece.

In this blog, we explore how this approach delivers real results, how you can get started, and why your people – and stakeholders - will thank you for it. 

In our recent webinar Rachel Morris and Ian Temple explored the journey of learning in the workplace, and uncovered how to facilitate growth in ourselves and others, even when the going gets tough. 

Here are some insights and reflections from that fascinating conversation.

We’re delighted to announce the launch of the next iteration of the Coach Community programme, which has just kicked off! Coach Community, a not-for-profit initiative proudly sponsored by Motion Learning, is driven by a powerful belief:

Everyone deserves access to quality coaching, and newly qualified coaches deserve the space and support to truly flourish.

Last week we spent the day at the CIPD Festival of Work in London, and came away with… well, a lot to think about.

It was interesting, undoubtedly, and buzzing with energy. But as people deeply embedded in the world of coaching, we couldn’t help but feel a little…underwhelmed.

Is the 70:20:10 principle still relevant in today's fast-paced, technology-driven world?

Or has it become an outdated concept that no longer reflects the complexities of modern learning?

We reflect upon some of the criticisms, as part of our exploration of Learning at Work

Have you ever felt like there’s still so much to learn before you achieve mastery and success? And has that learning seemed almost too challenging?

If so, you been at the foot of the ladder. A vital part of our work is supporting people as they build and climb their learning ladder. Here’s more about how we do that, and how you can do it for yourself…

Would you ever work with a therapist who wasn't fully qualified, regulated, and monitored? I imagine not. So why should it be any different with a coach? The answer is simple: it shouldn't be. As a client, you deserve to work with someone who you know is capable, adhering to best practice, and therefore fit to work with you. Which is why regulation is so important.

Working Mother, the book Rachel Morris has written to help people to access coaching support if they weren't able (or privileged enough) to get this through their employers, has reached the final shortlist in the Business Book Awards 2025!

We’re keeping our fingers crossed for good news in September!

Are you a small charitable organisation looking for options to support and develop your management team in 2025? Coach Community could be your (almost no cost) answer!

We're delighted to announce that we will be running a new intake of our Coach Community programme, which provides access to coaching for third sector organisations in the UK, and we’re looking for partner organisations.

We’re delighted to see Rachel’s book Working Mother, amongst so many great titles in this year’s The People's Book Prize nomination list. If you’re curious, do have a look.  And if you’d like to support Rachel by voting for her book, that would be fabulous!

In her recent Keynote speech at the CityLit Mental Wealth Festival, Rachel Morris, Executive Coach and author, explored valuable insights and practical strategies designed to help working parents anchor themselves during their transitions.

Read on for a taster of the key takeaways from her presentation…

As the year draws to a close, it presents us with a lovely moment to pause and reflect. And in doing so, we’ve decided to turn our reflections into something meaningful.  

So, in our ‘Days of Christmas’ series we’ll share insights, recommendations and reflections that have inspired us this year.

We’re delighted that Rachel Morris, founding partner of Motion Learning has been shortlisted in the Excellence in Female Health Advocacy category at this coming year’s awards!

In our recent webinar, coaches Rachel Morris and Helen Brooks discussed Imposter Syndrome and how to handle it. We had some great questions from the audience, which Rachel and Helen have taken the time to answer here…

Have you ever doubted your achievements or felt like a fraud, despite your successes? You’re not alone…

In the coaching room we see Imposter Syndrome affects leaders and high achievers across all industries, regardless of gender or experience. But the good news is that there are coaching strategies and tools to manage it and we want to share some with you… 

How can a coach help a senior leader manage and overcome imposter thoughts?

Read our case study of a recent situation in which Helen Brooks, Motion Coach, worked over a period of months with a leader as they overcame their doubts and handled the transition into a more senior role.

Rachel recently joined Abby Dixon, on the Whole Marketer Podcast to discuss her definition of working parents, the challenges faced particularly by working mothers, her insights on setting boundaries and self-care and the emotional struggles during transitions like maternity leave.

In a thought-provoking discussion which took place on International Equal Pay Day 2024, Rachel Morris reflected upon the ongoing challenges faced by working mothers and the persistent fight for gender equality.
