This is how it looks: Delegates booked on Classroom and In-House courses will continue to have access to their trainer online throughout the days that the course is booked to run. Prior to a delegate's course start date, they will be enrolled on our e-learning platform (in partnership with BCF Group [https://www.thebcfgroup.co.uk/business-coaching/ilm-level-5-business-coaching-and-mentoring.php]) for the course they are booked on to. They will also be given contact information for their trainer, and details of how to access the online workshops. Delegates will not require any special IT equipment. A desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or a mobile phone with internet and audio capability is all that is required. Delegates taking ILM Qualifications will then proceed to the book review, video review and work based assignments with 12 months tutor support as appropriate, and in line with our previous arrangements. We hope you agree that this blended learning experience represents the safest way to continue supporting our clients and delegates during the Coronavirus disruption. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SCHEDULED COURSES CLASSROOM COURSE - NOTTINGHAM (NG12 4DG) Classroom training courses enable you to benefit from having the tutor and other delegates right there in the room with you.

Coaching is an art, and getting it right is crucial for future coaching events, the expectations of others who may require coaching (word travels fast), and the smooth operation of the business. This workshop takes subject matter experts and helps them understand the art of interactive coaching. It begins with identifying what people want from a coach and the coaching experience. It then moves into our Coaching Structure and examines each element, ensuring the reason for each is discussed and clearly understood. We look closely at why the environment can be critical, even when coaching in their workplace. And we prove the need for Emotionally Intelligent thinking and actions. We delve into the practical aspect of reverse engineering the desired outcome. Participants will learn how to create what we refer to as Snap Objectives, a technique that establishes the coaching objective before the session begins, even in ad hoc or unexpected sessions. By the end of this workshop, your coach will be equipped with the necessary knowledge, skills, and confidence to conduct effective coaching sessions. They will also be able to design coaching plans that adhere to a consistent approach, ensuring all coaching sessions are impactful. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LENGTH 2 Days NEXT COURSE START Enquire for more information COURSE DELIVERY Face-to-face only (happy to explain).  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUITABILITY - WHO SHOULD ATTEND? WHO SHOULD ATTEND AND WHY? Who?  ANYONE involved or soon to be involved in helping people improve Skills, Knowledge and Understanding (SKU). Why?  It is not enough to have trainers who are certified or qualified in their professional skills. We must also ensure that those responsible for coaching others, even those who coach others only occasionally, are certified. Think about this. If your child needed coaching at school, would it be okay for anyone to do that, or would you insist that they be certified teachers or teaching assistants? Likewise, with driving, would you think it ok for someone who gives coaching sessions to someone to improve their driving skills if they were not licensed to drive themselves? The skills of your coaches are inextricably linked to your employee's performance, output and error margins, so that alone means you need certified coaches. Coaching will always be required in industries where updates occur, practices are updated, or legislation is changed. TRAINING COURSE CONTENT * The difference between Coaching and Training. * What is a Sat-Nav coach, and why must we avoid this at all costs? * We discuss why there is a need for Emotional Intelligence (EI) in a coaching session for coaching needs analysis. * We discuss our recommended Coaching Structure and why it is designed that way. * We discuss various question techniques and what each is good for or why it should be avoided. * We discuss the phrase 'two ears, one mouth' in relation to great coaching and why we must be clever about listening. * We touch on Learning Styles to see what you think of each and how we can cater for them. * We delve into our SAS Feedback model and why we think feedback must be facilitated and not given. * We help you plan and prepare for your final session on the second day. * You deliver your final mini-coaching session. We record them (HD). We chat as a group. COURSE DELIVERY DETAILS This is a two-day workshop where participants facilitate a coaching session on day two. All attendees have the chance to coach a fellow participant and receive an HD recording of their session. When you consider the content we deliver, we are sure you will understand why we always prefer to deliver our workshops, courses and programmes face-to-face. Face-to-face workshops and courses can be held at a location of your choice or, if you wish, a central UK location, at the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, located directly across from the Birmingham New Street train station. We can deliver our workshops, courses and programmes online, although this will mean splitting elements into manageable learning events to suit the online environment.
