Personal and Business Training with Sharon

About us

UCan Training was founded in 2007 after our founder, Sharon Jackson, realised there was a gap in the market for bespoke training and coaching programmes aimed at helping people achieve their full potential. So she created a niche company, specialising in delivering just that for individual clients and organisations. Nothing is off the shelf – we design and deliver specifically for you.

Three years ago Sharon researched, designed and delivered a six-week online coaching programme – ‘Can an online coaching programme facilitate behavioural change?’ – to complete her Masters degree in Coaching and Behavioural Change. She received a distinction for her pioneering research which led to writing papers and presenting her work at conferences in Singapore (2017) and Switzerland (2018). This year (2020) she has had a paper published by the British Psychological Society (special group in coaching psychology) entitled ‘Can an online coaching programme facilitate behavioural change in women working in STEM fields?

“I’m passionate about helping people conquer their fears and achieve their goals. I believe it’s within our grasp to determine where we will be in one, two, five or even twenty years time – we just have to make the right choices. And this is as true for individuals as it is for small business owners or major corporations.”

<p>How satisfied are you with your life? Do you feel you could achieve more, both in your business environment and away from the office?</p>
<p>Brian Tracey, a leader in the field of motivation, says ‘<em>people with clear, written, goals accomplish far more in a shorter period of time, than people without them could ever imagine</em>’. And research backs him up. Studies consistently show that having clear, written goals, makes a significant difference in creating success, and the biographies of high achievers throughout history bear this out.</p>
