Overview

Coaching is quickly becoming one of the most important skills people professionals need in the workplace, but it’s also arguably one of the most challenging. As a coach, you must support and encourage your employees to unleash their potential, whilst balancing your people’s roles and responsibilities with the immediate needs of the business.

This course presents a variety of coaching techniques and the opportunity to practice the different models and skills learnt with other participants in a safe environment. Delivered face-to-face, you’ll work with an experienced practitioner who will share know-how and provide feedback in real-time. This programme will give you the confidence you need to implement new coaching models within your workplace.
