About The Coaching Team
At Liqueo, our people are the heartbeat of our organisation. Investing in them is key to our success. That’s why our dedicated in-house coaching team is a pivotal part of our unique offering. As a company we strive to create a thriving culture, championing and enabling our people to explore their aspirations and development goals, to fulfil their ambitions.
Our coaches are experienced professionals with their own approaches and complementary backgrounds. We’ve designed our resource to deliver individual coaching sessions that focus on employees’ specific goals and challenges, as well as group sessions that encourage collaboration, communication and team spirit.
A key benefit of our tailored, in-house offering is that it develops a mindset of continuous learning and improvement. We believe learning never stops, so we provide our employees with the tools and resources they need to fully embrace opportunities and flourish.
