We help people leaders develop practical coaching skills
THE COACHING SUITE
What stops your managers from coaching their team members? Is it a lack of knowledge? Skills? Or time? Perhaps it’s a combination of all three …
Coaching is proven to be one of the most productive and under-used people leadership skills. A coach approach encourages people to learn, develop and grow – but critically, to take ownership and action.
Many training companies offer up coaching courses (usually 1 or 2 days). And some offer coaching accreditation – which is usually far more in-depth, time-consuming and costly than many companies can afford or the average manager needs for their day job.
The Coaching Suite takes a different approach. We have a range of 8 virtually run modules, all designed to boost coaching skills and knowledge in just 100 minutes.
Each module will either:
- Provide the basic skills / knowledge to coach on the job
- Provide tools and techniques to deal with specific challenges through coaching
So that managers are better equipped to coach their team members.
