Description

There are huge benefits to using a coaching style when engaging with line managers and stakeholders.

This doesn't mean that you have to be a fully qualified coach. (We have other courses for that!)

But what it does mean is having the ability to deploy key coaching skills naturally, in the moment, to best effect.

This modular programme will help. The focus is on building skills and knowing when and how best to deploy them. The modular approach helps build confidence and gives opportunities for practice and reflection.
