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”. The Performance Coach Training for Leadership Module 1: Coaching Skills for Leaders course is designed to integrate coaching skills into your managers' leadership, team building and communication styles.
Purpose of the programmes
- To provide executives with coaching skills and tools
- To integrate these skills into your managers’ day to day communications
- 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
Module 1, Coaching Skills for Leaders, is a 2 day course spread over 1 month designed to enable your leaders to get the best from themselves and their teams.
In between the two training days (which can be run consecutively with a follow up conference call 1 month later) the participants are paired to practise their skills in the safety of working with a colleague from the course. This builds confidence and fluency enabling the managers to embed the new skills and use them in the workplace after the course is over.
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.

“Coaching makes the right things happen! The most useful part about the training was embedding coaching into another program, i.e. combining coaching in the general sense with Sales Process work products in the specific sense” – John Newton, Global Learning Director, NCR Corporation
Comments from participants from various organisations:
“It is the best course I have been on and the most useful one to me in my entire life, not just at work. I am glad the company is investing in it. I will willingly take part in more calls and will continue with the coaching practice. On a lot of courses, once the course is over you go back to daily routine. With this, because we had the assignments it made me think about what I had learned – put some discipline in there and made it more useful.”
“A lot of energy and potential brought to the store and business.”
“Very useful and educational, looking forward to more depth in future workshops”
“Interactive, relaxed, great to practise”
“The course was facilitated very well with plenty of scenarios and examples to take away”
“It was beneficial to use exercises in which to practise the skills used as soon as they are explained”
“I like the interactive parts, good material, competent trainers“
“You have just done in 15 minutes what normally takes me 4 hours” (after a trainer demo of GROW)
“My boss uses GROW at every meeting now; the meetings are much more focussed; GROW keeps dialogue shorter and to the point, and empowers us.”
“The highlights of my day are where I have been able to leverage the framework and the sense of achievement in the other person”
“A good framework to interact with colleagues and customers – I am using the technique to get more out of the discussion than previously”
“The more you can make the person comfortable, the higher the quality of the input they will give you”
“Bright ideas come through – at times the solution that came out was better for the team than my own solution would have been”
“Repeating back to the person slows down a scattered thought process and makes the person stop and put thought into their direction”
“The model works not only in verbal discussions but also in email and instant messaging exchanges as well.”
“Although the coachee may sometimes give you the same solution you would have given them, what you are really doing is buying their commitment!”
“Having a practice partner was like having an agony aunt; it would be useful in any course”
“Coaching focuses not what you can’t do but on what you can do”
