Studying at Guildhall is really cool because you are in a setting where the arts are valued by an entire community

One of the best things about PACE is it's very experiential - you are not just thinking about the theory of it but you are actually putting in the work and you get to experience both sides of it.

For Peer Coaches

This course, spread across four months (October - February), 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 3-day course consists of three seminar days during which participants will work on a variety of real-life problems, receiving skilled feedback to develop your coaching skills.

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 completion, participants have the option to receive the Guildhall Foundation Certificate in Coaching & Mentoring, accredited with the EMCC (European Mentoring and Coaching Council), by keeping a reflective diary of their coaching practice. Alternatively, participants will receive a certificate of attendance if they do not wish to complete the reflective diary.
