Coaching Skills

Coaching Skills are often low on management’s list of priorities. This in itself lowers staff morale, as they struggle to complete tasks to acceptable standards due to a lack of training.

Improving coaching skills means:

• Less time spent managing poor performance
• Prioritising your time by delegating tasks to others
• Increased productivity & kudos as department performance improves
• Improved organisation through multi-skilling
• Improved staff retention
• Positive work culture: greater job satisfaction & higher motivation

This 1-day course presents a systematic approach to identifying areas for development – goals and objectives, coaching plans, and methods for conducting coaching sessions.

Accredited ILM Coaching Programme

Accredited coaching programmes by the Institute of Leadership & Management are also available.

Executive Coaching Skills

Busy schedules often prevent senior executives from attending formal training programmes.

Coaching plans can work around this, with 1-2 short coaching sessions covering a range of topics, from strategic planning to personal development.
