What's inside
Two kinds of module. One framework.
Start with the situation you're in, or with a skill you want to build. Both are drawn from the same coaching approach, so they fit together.
Life Skills
Build the skills that carry you
Each Life Skills module gathers five practical skills that support working life as an LGBTQ+ person. Use them on their own, or alongside a Scenario when you want to go deeper on one area.

Work through it in your own time
One session a week works well for most people, but there's no deadline. What you write stays with you, not with us.

Bring it to coaching, if you want to
Self-study works on its own. If you'd like support along the way, you can bring your workbook to 1:1 sessions with Laura or Gareth.
NHS and emergency services workers: 10% off. If you work for the NHS, the police, a fire and rescue service or an ambulance service, join the launch list with your work email and we'll take 10% off your modules. No work email? Just ask us.
Self-study and coaching
On your own, or alongside a coach.
On your own
Good if you like to think on paper, want to start privately, or aren't ready to talk to someone yet. Each session sets out what it's for, walks you through the exercises and ends with a clear next step.
Alongside 1:1 coaching
Each Life Scenario module mirrors one of our five-session Scenario journey packages. Work through a session between calls, then use your coaching time on what came up. Want a mix of self-study and coaching? We'll design a package around you on a Chemistry Call.
Self-study is coaching material, not therapy or crisis support. Some sessions touch on stress, burnout and hostile workplaces. If you're struggling, please reach out: Samaritans on 116 123 (free, any time), Switchboard LGBT+ on 0800 0119 100, or Mind. In an emergency, call 999.
Questions
A few things people ask
When can I buy the modules?
Soon. We're making final checks and will release the modules in stages. Join the launch list and we'll tell you the day they go on sale.
How much will they cost?
We'll publish prices at launch. Self-study will cost far less than 1:1 coaching, and you pay once for each module. There's no subscription. NHS and emergency services workers get 10% off when they sign up with their work email.
Can I buy a single session?
Modules are sold as complete sets of five sessions. The sessions build on each other, so the set is where the value lies.
What do I need to use them?
Any device that opens a PDF. To type into the Word version you'll need Microsoft Word or a free option such as Google Docs, Apple Pages or LibreOffice.
I'm not in the UK. Can I still buy?
Yes. Prices are set and charged in pounds sterling (GBP). Your card provider will convert the amount into your own currency.
Can my employer or network buy modules for a team?
Yes. We're happy to talk to employers, LGBTQ+ networks and employee resource groups. Email info@thriveinclusivecoaching.co.uk.
Is my work private?
Yes. You download the files and fill them in on your own device. We never see what you write unless you choose to share it with your coach.
