Welcome to Provocative Change Works
This is the official site for Provocative Change Works. Here you can find articles, videos, products and trainings relating to PCW. This model was first created in 2006 and is in a constant state of development. The focus of all training is on skills development and proper duty of care towards others. Details on PCW certifications can be found HERE
Since the advent of covid 19 I am now running monthly online trainings for USA, Europe and UK as well as one specifically for Japan. E-mail info@nickkemp.com for details on how to apply. To date I have run PCW trainings in the USA, India, Russia, Japan, Poland, Spain, Austria, Israel, UK, Switzerland, Ireland, Hungary, Holland, among other countries.
This Provocative Change Works model works equally well in coaching, academia, business, sports performance, therapeutic and personal development., building all manner of successful relationships.
In 2022 – 2023 The Wellcome Trust funded a one year coaching initiative for academics at Leeds University in the UK. The PCW model has also assisted a number of international atheletes in developing their performance skills up to an international level. The model has also been used to assist a number of high profile creative artists in the music and arts industries.
PCW was inspired by my old friend and mentor Frank Farrelly whose “Provocative Therapy” was a primary influence on creating PCW. For further information on Frank Farrelly’s original Provocative Therapy see www.provocativetherapy.com. For private 1 – 1 coaching and therapy, please check www.nickkemptherapy.com.
