About the Course

This three-day course (delivered online across six half days) is aimed at anyone who wants to improve their impact within a professional environment.

Led by one of our experienced coaching associates, the course will help you to improve your resourcefulness and problem solving, and give you a new perspective on your role, how you work with others and how you approach your work.

From the outset, you will develop a variety of skills which will enhance the way you work with colleagues, bridging the gap between potential and performance.

You will be assigned a partner with whom you will form a coaching relationship which you are encouraged to continue outside of the formal teaching sessions.

The course consists of six half-day sessions during which participants will work on a variety of real-life problems, receiving skilled feedback to develop your coaching skills. All participants will be offered a 1-1 session with one of our experienced coaches as part of the course.

The course will cover skills around listening for meaning, questioning, gaining new perspectives and insights, and more. You will also work on common issues in the workplace such as saying no, delegating and being delegated to, managing upwards, and giving information so that it is received positively and acted on.

Upon successful completion, participants have the option to receive the Guildhall Certificate in Coaching & Mentoring, accredited by the EMCC (European Mentoring and Coaching Council) at Foundation Level*. Alternatively, participants will receive a certificate of attendance if they do not wish to complete the Learning Log.

Participant requirements

All participants will be encouraged to be open and to engage in self-reflection as part of the work. A willingness to embrace change and work authentically and generously with their peers and clients is also essential to successful coaching & mentoring.

What participants say

“Coaching works wonderfully at many levels. I have been able to apply coaching skills not only within my working environment but also in my personal life. The course provides a safe and thought- provoking space to develop your coaching from scratch. I found fascinating to practice skills as active listening, questioning (coaching style) plus getting very helpful insights on how to build rapport with your peers/clients and how to give feedback (positive or negative). I have psychologically internalised the training, building an awareness that helped me positively on my interaction with work colleagues, friends and family. It is an inspiring course.”
