Chats That Matter for conversations with young people
Discovering Strengths, Developing Character, Helping Young People Be Their Best Selves.
Chats That Matter® is an award-winning approach in coaching people to be their best selves and get things on the up! Young people need this now more than ever, when young people feel good about themselves they learn better.
We know that schools want:
- Effective and meaningful ways to engage with students
- To help young people regain hope for their future, to feel purposeful and positive.
- To have conversations to improve emotional wellbeing and help students realise their full potential.
- To prioritise building character and personal development to be judged good or outstanding by OfSTED .
start with strengths
We take a purposefully positive strengths-based approach. We believe that everybody wants to be their best selves! Our Be Your Best Self® concepts provide fun ways to talk about the tough stuff.
Our training helps your staff: discover strengths, identify resourcefulness; resilience, purpose, passion and potential, to help young people learn, grow and achieve. By integrating an Early Help approach, culture of safeguarding, personal development and emotional wellbeing that OfSTED look for, Chats That Matter® enables great conversations for positive outcomes.

trust us
Through our national programme we have trained staff in schools, colleges and youth organisations from Cumbria to Kent. Our strengths-based coaching and engagement approach is award winning.
Our tools and techniques get people talking and discover their strengths.
We get really great results from our work. People often tell us our sessions our fun, positive, inspiring, enlightening, thought-provoking and different. 100% of course participants said they would recommend this course to others.*
Thought provoking and I am sure it will impact upon our workplace!
I learnt I had strengths I didn’t realise, and new strategies to bring into the classroom, staff room and home.
What worked well? The strengths cards games, watching coaching in action.
I feel that now we have a solid structure and engaging tools to support the students
