On Tues 20th May 2014, Our People’s Coach Street Team celebrated International Coaching Week 2014 as a collective force, after they successfully completed their eight OPC Flash Mob, (first of six in 2014) in the home of the last Olympic Games 2012 Stratford, London UK.
After the morning briefing, some final training and bonding with their team members (many new to the team and had never met before) the Ride With The Wave Pod and Go With The Flow Pod set off to make a positive impact on the local through free speed coaching sessions, powered by Divine Chocolate.
Our biggest learning from this event is that this initiative is not for every coach, so we’re very grateful that and the right people and masterful coaches continue to join our team and bring something unique to make our work even more powerful each time.
Just a sample of feedback from the 10 minute coaching sessions…
“I will complete 1 job application form at the job centre today” (1 hour later an excited Terri returns)…“I wanted to tell you I have now completed 10 job applications – thank you so much!” Terri 19 yrs

Lisa (and Our People’s Coach) coached me at Stratford the other day when your team was there she was/is really excellent she’s a good listener clearly she knows her stuff. She gave me some homework to do and insisted i do it the next day and then pushed me to do it the same day which i did, 5 minutes after, utilized a number i’ve had in my fone for 3 months now i’ve made a solid plan, researched more, saved all the details moved some key numbers to my fone created a plan to raise money which will help anyway, i had these goals around, speaking with an excellent coach, Like Lisa, it helped get it done. More street events please!
It’s the 1st time i’ve been offered value in the street instead of just asking for money.
Merci Beaucoup
