Maister Personal Story I completed further coach training last year - Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching offered by The Coaches Training Institute. The training gave me greater insights in coaching relationship systems in partnerships, organizations, groups, teams, and couples. It was marvelous training that gave me the opportunity to learn new tools and bring my coaching skills to a higher level. I have been using these skills to coach professional partnerships including lawyers and architects. The new skills have proved to be extremely beneficial working with my individual clients as well.
