Introductory Courses

The Centre for Coaching regularly offers introductory courses on topics including Leading through Coaching, Mentor – Amplifying Talent and Building Resilience – a journey to thriving in adversity.

Leading through Coaching

For those who are interested in learning the basic skills of how to coach, we regularly offer a 2-day introductory « Leading through Coaching » course. You will learn the fundamentals of coaching and how you can use it to provide support, build a common language for coaching and have a better working relationship with others.

As a powerful addition to managerial skills, this course is designed to show delegates how to achieve different outcomes to those that have been achieved before.
The language and flow of coaching is a key focus of the course, which is brought alive through practicing these new skills and coaching fellow delegates.
Like any competency, coaching is a road towards mastery – one cannot be taught to be an expert in two days, but one can certainly learn the key principles and flow of coaching.

“Leading Through Coaching” is a good introduction for those who are interested in doing our longer Internationally Accredited Coaching for
Development programme (ICF ACSTH) – participants find they complement one another well.

This workshop has been run for leading organisations across the globe (such as BMW, Barclays, Chevron & Toyota) supporting them in their strategic goals of continuous improvement (from the assembly line to top management), implementation of Lean Manufacturing / Lean Enterprise, leadership development or fast-tracking the emergent talent pool to senior leadership.
