At Williams & Company, we offer a unique traineeship where you won’t just learn about coaching – you’ll live it. You’ll be trained and mentored by Paul Postema, an Olympic Performance Coach, experience coaching firsthand as a client, and gradually build your own skills through practice, reflection, and real client sessions.

By the end of the traineeship, you’ll have developed into a confident professional coach with hands‑on experience guiding real people toward real change. Step 1: You’ll be onboarded to Williams & Company as an “Associate, Building Capabilities & Coaching,” working under your supervisor, Paul Postema.

Paul is an Olympic Performance Coach with over 18 years of experience coaching elite athletes, executives, and high-performers, and holds his coaching qualifications from the University of Cambridge.
