Developing coaching skills for leaders

 

Overview

In an ever-changing working world, power has shifted from the employer to the employee and leaders will need to move away from a command-and-control approach.

Our Leader as Coach programme is designed to provide your leaders with the core skills and tools to adopt a coaching approach in the workplace.

Our expert trainers will provide your leaders with the context, knowledge and actions needed to help you build this leadership style across your organisation.

We combine organisational support, preparation, and impact tracking, with training for your leaders to develop the skills they need to coach effectively within the workplace.

Our Leader as Coach programme is a proven solution to facilitate the creation of a coaching culture and develop a coaching style of leadership within the organisation.

The solution includes skills development for your leaders, provides opportunities for structured practice in and between workshops, access to self-development online resources via our Learning Hub and ongoing support to participants after the training to ensure the skills are embedded and sustained.

This programme provides a perfect platform for those wanting to gain an ILM Coaching Qualification.
