An Introduction to Coaching Skills (Virtual, Online Course)

Who Should Attend

The ability to coach the performance of others is an essential skill for leaders and managers alike. This course will be of great benefit to anyone who already has responsibility for leading and developing the performance of others, or is about to take it on.

Overview

When coaching is done skilfully it yields lasting and cost effective results. Excellent coaching multiplies the effectiveness of what people have already gained through education, training and working experience and significantly enhances working relationships.
Our trainers are highly skilled in making the psychology of coaching accessible, relevant and practical. Delegates enjoy these training sessions because they are kept engaged through guided practice sessions with examples of experiences, awareness raising exercises and short theory inputs.
