This year, Colart launched a new leadership development program aimed at helping leaders not only lead their teams but enable them to lead the business so driving Colart’s success. The program is now rolling out to supervisors and team leaders across the organisation and we are really excited about the feedback being received.

A major focus of the program is on coaching, which we believe is an essential foundation for building resilience and promoting collective agility. With everyone attending the program recognising the value of coaching, we are introducing a dedicated coaching program next year to support the learning. Details will be shared soon.

In addition to this broad initiative, we have also honed coaching skills in key staff members. Harsa Beagley, UK & NE HR Director is a notable success story, having completed an advanced coaching apprenticeship and gained not only a distinction but also official accreditation as a coach. Her achievement is not only commendable but also motivates others to pursue similar skills.

Harsa shares, 

"I've always been passionate about helping people. Coaching has proven to be a powerful way to help others make positive changes. The apprenticeship taught me invaluable tools that have helped my coachees unlock their potential. Coaching has helped them gain clarity, overcome challenges, and boost confidence quickly. It’s amazing how quickly coaching can effect meaningful change and I'm grateful to my coachees for trusting me and helping me grow as a coach."

Charlotte Canton, UK Head of Marketing is one of Harsa's coachees and has experienced the benefits firsthand. 

"My coaching journey has been exhilarating, challenging and ultimately game-changing! I feel much better equipped to cope with the things I find most challenging at work as I have a comprehensive toolbox that I can use to help me move forward positively. It’s incredible what we achieved over a short time. I often describe the way I feel in terms of weight and coaching has given me a sense of lightness allowing space for my thoughts so that I feel more resilient. I highly recommend coaching and am incredibly thankful to Harsa for her dedication and creating a safe space for my growth."

Colart recognises coaching as a catalyst for realising individual potential through enhanced self-awareness and as we move forward, Colart is committed to fostering strong leaders and resilient teams, with coaching playing a key role in this journey.

For those inspired to explore similar growth opportunities, we encourage you to connect with your local HR partner. Furthermore, if you're in the UK, consider delving into our Apprenticeship program, as a means of igniting your personal and professional growth.

  1. Coaching is absolutely the way forward to support self development so well done Harsa for not only owning your own development but also supporting others so well! You are a brilliant coach and a real asset for Colart…..I think you will have a queue at your door 👏

  2. Harsa, you really deserved that distinction! Being a coachee has already been so beneficial to me personally and professionally, and I’d like to say a massive thank you to Harsa for all of her help and support throughout the process. I feel lucky to have experienced this. Now I’m looking into doing a course that’s of interest to me via the Apprenticeship program.

  3. This is a wonderful initiative and it’s very insightful to read both your sides! I’m really looking forward to exploring opportunities to get involved with this next year and specifically looking at the skills network site which features some great courses.

  4. Well Done Harsa!
    I echo Charlotte’s comments and thank you for the work you put in to help and support me with your coaching.
    The tools are especially helpful in challenging times and its great to hear the Coaching Program will roll out into 2025 for the wider team Mangers, Leads & Supervisors.

  6. Amazing Harsa, really well done. Having recently started my coaching journey (as a coachee) I echo the feedback on the fundamental changes and impact this can have, and the pace that the impacts start to show. Whilst we approach this often from a professional stand-point the personal impact resonates strong too!
