Who is this Programme Designed for?

We enable leaders, coaches, scrum masters, HR and Talent professionals and business owners to develop practical skills and gain a qualification that lives in their everyday conversations and meetings, beyond the training room.

Aspiring Coaches

Have you ever thought about training as a coach? This course gives you an opportunity to learn the core coaching skills without committing to a full coaching programme. Whether or not you go on to train as a coach – you will have a learnt a new skill!

Managers and Leaders

Research increasingly shows that leaders who coach are more effective. Learning to help individuals perform at their best supports their growth and the organisations performance. Leaders who coach help to reduce stress levels and increase retention in their teams.

Educators and Teachers

Teachers make natural coaches. Learning coaching skills supports both in classroom activity, conversations with care givers and working with colleagues.

Healthcare and Wellness Professionals

Taking a coaching approach to healthcare and wellness conversations enables practitioners and clinicians to become even more effective at listening and questioning in order to best understand the needs of their clients and patients.

Consultants 

Effective consultants are constantly curious about what is best for the people they serve. Coaching skills develop the ability to listen and become more aware about what clients are seeking and how best you can serve them.

Parents and Caregivers

The biggest surprise for people who train on our programme is the impact coaching has on all their conversations. This is especially true for parent and care-givers. Learning to listen more intently and to be more curious with our loved ones helps us to have more impactful conversations.

"I really appreciated the programmes’ focus on the development of skills such as self-awareness (during and outside of coaching sessions), presence, active listening, and attentiveness to one’s intuitions.

This is in addition to the basic frameworks, tools, techniques, coaching communication styles and approaches, and ethical considerations that are important to know as a new coach"
