Coaching skills for managers

Course summary

Coaching is an invaluable tool for managers who want to motivate and support their team to improve performance and manage change. It can also be part of an organisational strategy to support change at individual, team and organisational level.

Coaching is increasingly recognised as a flexible and effective way of supporting staff to develop new skills and confidence. This course is designed to help line-managers understand coaching, how coaching fits with effective management and to acquire practical coaching techniques to use in their every day work.

RN, Speedy Services

“I can now go away and feel confident that I have the skills to be able to do coaching competently. I really enjoyed the day and it was the course really relaxed and informative.”

CF, NDCS

“I have been feeling pretty negative in my role as manager recently but I feel I now have some tools to turn things into positive.”

RB, New Voice Media

“I've come away with a solid theoretical basis and also have lots of ideas to take back. There's a lot of attention for detail at the centre - from healthy sweet snacks to the care shown on reception.”

LW, National Union of Teachers

“The tutor was really helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Overall I was very impressed and came away with some useful reminders that I am applying practically.”

CT, Aspinall Foundation

“Excellent! An engaging format that was kept informal and very participant led. Very useful and transferrable skills learnt today that will help in my management role.”
