We know that coaching is very useful in supporting leadership development and change management. It is a method of developing an individual’s capabilities using questioning techniques that enable the individual to become more self-aware, resilient, and confident.
NEW! Building a Coaching Culture Programme
About the programme
Aimed at those in senior leadership roles and senior coaching champions, Building a Coaching Culture provides an excellent introduction for those new to coaching and development for those with experience to acquire the skills and knowledge to build a coaching culture in your organisation. The best coaching is future focussed and optimistic; people need to stop focusing on the problem and encourage those they coach to be exploring the questions related to that, which moves them forward in a conversation, offering support and challenge at the same time. The programme will help shape the culture of your team and across your organisation so that colleagues feel more heard and are even better equipped to come up with great solutions to workplace situations. The experiential learning and practical skills of this programme will support you in having conversations that facilitate colleagues to think well so that they feel competent and empowered to grow. Key benefits include building confidence to lead inclusively through meaningful conversations with diverse groups, building a coaching culture to support the development of high-performing teams, and equipping you with the coaching skills to be an effective and compassionate leader.

What previous participants say
“It doesn’t have to be perfect. It doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing thing. It’s an incremental approach and [you] can start to introduce the coaching approach into your conversations in lots of different ways. And it doesn’t have to be that that whole conversation is a coaching one, but that you are using elements of what we are learning. It’s part of our toolkit now and making us think differently about how we might have some of our conversations.”
“This course seemed unique in its focus on simplicity and practice, with regular feedback – instead of coming out of it thinking with practice this will be really useful, but then forgetting to practice to embed it. I am already using it, and it is becoming second nature to me.”
“Definitely do less. To achieve more. Because it doesn’t make you a worse manager. It actually makes you a better manager”
