Overview

We provide coaching skills training based on Sir John Whitmore's best-selling, time honoured, book entitled “Coaching for Performance” and Carol Wilson’s “Best Practice in Performance Coaching”. These programmes are designed at all levels from integrating coaching skills into your managers' communication styles to training and accrediting your own team of internal coaches, mentors and supervisors. All our programmes are recognised by the ILM (Institute of Leadership & Management).

Purpose of the programme

To provide executives with coaching skills and tools
To train executives to become accredited as in house coaches and/or mentors and supervisors
To enhance managers’ self awareness and enable them to tap into their innate resources and full potential as leaders
To increase managers’ efficiency and time organisation by improving delegation skills
To improve feedback skills
To improve team coaching and cohesion

Structure of the programme

Performance Coaching for Leadership Module 2, Executive Coach, is a 5 day programme spread over at least 1 month designed to enable your leaders to get the best from themselves and their teams.

The accreditation criteria, standards and ethics of the training reflect those of the UK's independent coaching body, The Association for Coaching, of which Sir John Whitmore is Honorary Vice President and Carol Wilson is Head of Accreditation. The programme is Recognised by the ILM (Institute of Leadership & Management) and leads to assessment and accreditation for successful candidates on the final day

The style of the training is learning by doing. This is a very practical approach in which participants will have the opportunity to practise coaching specifically about issues currently arising in their workplace and to get feedback from our trainers and each other during the programme.

Course Components

This course typically consists of the following modules and can be scheduled to suit each organisation’s individual requirements; for example where executives are from different geographical regions, the final part can be completed by conference line.

Whether or not a manager wishes to act as an internal coach, we find that elements 2 and 3 below embed the coaching skills more fully into an executive’s leadership style.

	Session 1:		2 days of coaching skills training
	Session 2:		2 days of training in how to deliver a series of coaching sessions
	Session 3:		1 day of assessment. Accreditation for candidates awarded a pass
	Materials:		A comprehensive Workbook is provided for sustained learning and reference after the programme.
