An introduction to the programme, including overview of syllabus and schedule. Personal introductions and group contract. Introduction to the world-class learning platform.
The key outcome is to ensure a common understanding of what is meant by coaching, and how it differs from mentoring or other kinds of intervention.
We look at the skills associated with asking the best questions. This also involves gaining a deeper understanding of the principles of coaching.
Every good coach develops a unique style. We start by introducing some of the most effective coaching models and support you to develop your own.
Listening skills lie at the very heart of high-quality coaching. We introduce you to techniques for listening at a deep level.
Focusing on strengths, accessing intrinsic motivation, building strategies of hope, cultivating positive emotions and other important coaching principles.
Coaching in the moment. Using coaching skills as a predominant style of leadership. What helps and hinders the establishment of a coaching culture. A practical exercise.
Introducing a Systems Thinking approach and applying it to an organisational development lens. Exploring the meaning of Complex Dynamic Living Systems.
The coaching relationship involves both support and challenge. We introduce a relational approach to using confrontative interventions.
We introduce the principles of Transactional Analysis for coaches, sharing a ‘theory of relating’ that will empower your practice.
We revisit contracting but explore the topic in much more depth via the ‘Sills Matrix’. We also introduce a range of goal-setting models and discuss managing endings.
Finally, we consider how best to maintain a professional practice. We cover CPD, supervision, reflective practice, ethics, record keeping and more.
Between November and December, learners will record one of their supervision sessions.
Learners will provide feedback to each other on their recorded sessions.
Written feedback will be provided by a member of faculty.
Learners will collect feedback and use this to inform their ongoing learning objectives .
