Testimonials
Former Student's Thoughts
I met Dr Julie McFarlane when doing my Master course at Strategic Project Management, where she was the program director and a coach on business projects development. I must say that apart from a whole toolbox of knowledge and skills that Julie was sharing with a great professionalism, it was a huge pleasure to deal with her as a person. She is a very engaging person with great charisma which is why her ways of coaching are never boring. She always sticks to the point giving valuable information and all support needed during the course.
Programme Director
The ECA was meticulously crafted to address a critical trust issue within the coaching sector. In an industry inundated with misinformation and unregulated coaching providers, the ECA stands as a beacon of trustworthiness, offering a secure and reliable environment for studying business coaching the SMART way.
Dr McFarlane, an accomplished academic in entrepreneurship and a triple accredited (ICF, EMCC, IAPC&M) Coach, has dedicated over 18 years to developing higher education programs for students worldwide. Throughout this journey, she recognised the demand for a more pragmatic approach to coaching business executives, one that seamlessly incorporates the insights of leading academics.
