The framework
Every programme runs on CoreOS
Whatever route you take, the work rests on the same four elements: strategy, accountability, mindset and systems. Nick built CoreOS over a decade of coaching and running his own companies. It works in any industry because the four elements are the same in every business: only the answers change.
Frequently asked questions
What is the CoreOS framework?
CoreOS is a coaching framework developed by Nick Thorpe that focuses on the key elements required for success in any business: strategy, accountability, mindset, and systems. It is designed to work in any industry and is the foundation of all Core Business coaching.
How do the retreats and events work?
Core Business retreats and events are exclusive, application-only gatherings where business owners come together in an inspiring environment to learn, grow and reset. You'll leave with actionable steps to implement in your business, alongside a strong support network.
Can I join if I am not in the UK?
Yes. Clients from around the world are welcome. A strong command of English matters, and your time zone needs to allow sensible scheduling.
Can I attend an event without being a client?
Yes, absolutely. You'll have a brief call with the team first to make sure the event is the right fit for you and your business goals.
Do you guarantee results?
We stand by the quality of our events and services. If you are not satisfied after attending an event, there is a money-back guarantee: tell us by the end of the first day to be eligible.
Why is everything application-only?
Because coaching only works when the fit is right. Nick regularly turns applicants away when a programme isn't right for their needs. It keeps every room and every client relationship honest.
